Execute powershell command on successful build?

1

I’m very new to this environment so please forgive me if this has been asked. I tried searching and didn’t see anything.

I’m trying to figure out if there is a way to have a powershell command automatically execute if my firmware compiles/builds successfully.

Basically I have a 3D printer hooked up to octoprint which is a little linux box. I just need to get firmware.bin over to the sdcard in my printer. So I have a single line script that runs scp and sends the file over. I’m hoping to just have that run if the build is successful. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Welcome to the community!

My installation is somewhat fubared right now so I can’t test this, but I believe your answer lies in this documentation:

In your platformio.ini file use the following:

[env:pre_and_post_hooks]
extra_scripts = post:extra_script.py

extra_script.py should be in the same directory as your platformio.ini file.

Thank you so much!!

I will have to brush up on my python but getting it to run a simple bash script shouldn’t be too hard :slight_smile:

Happy to help. There’s a lot of information in the documentation, but sometimes finding a simple “hello world” solution for things is challenging. I love the environment and the folks here are great - still, I’m learning a little each day.

import os
os.system('powershell.exe [myscript.ps1]')

In that extra_script should do the trick …

Or if you want to get real fancy, you could override the default upload target, so that build just builds, but upload builds and then uploads if successful…
