Tool to check for changes in expected vs. actual state
Checks must implement responses for the following commands:
The load
command accepts a hash with a single key, the directory being checked, and returns an array of checks with optional metadata.
Input: {"dir": "/path/to/main/dir"}
Output: [{"name": "check_N", "metadata": {"foo": "bar"}}, ...]
The execute
command accepts a hash representing the check object. Metadata provided during the load
call is included. The return value must be a Result object for the given check.
Input: {"dir": "/path/to/main/dir", "file": "/path/to/main/dir/.prospectus.d/checkfile", "name": "check_N", "metadata": {"foo": "bar"}}
Output: {"actual": "unhappy", "expected": {"type": "string", "data": {"expected": "happy"}}}
The fix
command can attempt to fix a failed check automatically. It accepts a hash representing the failed result, which includes the originating check. The return value must be a Result object for the given check.
Note: The check must respond to the fix
command, but if it does not support automatic fixes, it can respond by emiting the same result object it was given.
Input: {"actual": "unhappy", "expected": {"type": "string", "data": {"expected": "happy"}}, "check": {"dir": "/path/to/main/dir", "file": "/path/to/main/dir/.prospectus.d/checkfile", "name": "check_N", "metadata": {"foo": "bar"}}}
Output: {"actual": "happy", "expected": {"type": "string", "data": {"expected": "happy"}}}
