File action w/list of actions

[dfay]

I made a few fixes to your code but it's still not working for me either:

import json, os, subprocess, sys

cmd = ['./tag', '-r', '\*'] + json.loads(os.getenv('filesList'))
subprocess.call(cmd)

That fixed an error caused by a missing ] and puts all the arguments as separate list items, both of which I think are necessary, but it doesn't work....

 

Confirmed that it works on the command line.

 

@deanishe any ideas?

I don't have tag and I can't download the workflows (cl.ly isn't responding), so I can't test it, but that \* is probably incorrect.

You aren't running a shell, so there's no need to escape special shell characters like *. It also won't work as a shell expansion either, of course.

@dfay Thanks for taking a crack at it!

 

@deanishe Thanks for the suggestion, too. It works!!

 

So, for others that might be interested, the following modification to @dfay's code does the trick:

import json, os, subprocess, sys
cmd = ['./tag', '-r', '*'] + json.loads(os.getenv('filesList'))
subprocess.call(cmd)

Thanks a ton, @dfay & @deanishe!!
