subtask Plugin

This plugin creates a new task. A step based on this type of action will remain incomplete until the subtask is fully DONE.

Configuration

Fields	Description
template	the name of a task template, as accepted through µTask's API
input	a map of named values, as accepted on µTask's API
resolver_usernames	a string containing a JSON array of additional resolver users for the subtask
watcher_usernames	a string containing a JSON array of additional watcher users for the subtask
delay	a duration indicating if subtask execution needs to be delayed, expects Golang time.Duration format (5s, 1m, ...)

Example

An action of type subtask requires the following kind of configuration:

action:
  type: subtask
  configuration:
    # a template that must already be registered on this instance of µTask
    template: another-task-template
    # valid input, as defined by the referred template
    input:
      foo: bar
    # optionally, a list of users which are authorized to resolve this specific task
    resolver_usernames: '["authorizedUser"]'
    watcher_usernames: '["authorizedUser"]'
    delay: 10m

Requirements

None.

Variables

var (
	Plugin = taskplugin.New("subtask", "0.1", exec,
		taskplugin.WithConfig(validConfig, SubtaskConfig{}),
		taskplugin.WithContextFunc(ctx),
	)
)

the subtask plugin spawns a new µTask task, given a template and inputs an extra parameter is accepted, not available on API resolver usernames can be dynamically set for the task

Types

type SubtaskConfig

type SubtaskConfig struct {
	Template          string                 `json:"template"`
	Input             map[string]interface{} `json:"input"`
	ResolverUsernames string                 `json:"resolver_usernames"`
	WatcherUsernames  string                 `json:"watcher_usernames"`
	Delay             *string                `json:"delay"`
	Tags              map[string]string      `json:"tags"`
}

SubtaskConfig is the necessary configuration to spawn a new task

type SubtaskContext

type SubtaskContext struct {
	TaskID            string `json:"task_id"`
	RequesterUsername string `json:"requester_username"`
}

SubtaskContext is the metadata inherited from the "parent" task"
