Workflow YAML Files

The SpdxTool can be driven using workflow yaml files of the following format:

# Workflow parameters
parameters:
  parameter-name: value

# Workflow steps
steps:
- command: <command-name>
  inputs:
    <arguments mapping>

- command: <command-name>
  inputs:
    input1: value
    input2: ${{ parameter-name }}

YAML Variables

Variables are specified at the top of the workflow file in a parameters section:

# Workflow parameters
parameters:
  parameter1: value1
  parameter2: value2

Variables can be expanded in step inputs using the dollar expansion syntax

# Workflow steps
steps:
- command: <command-name>
  inputs:
    input1: ${{ parameter1 }}
    input2: Insert ${{ parameter2 }} in the middle

Variables can be overridden on the command line:

spdx-tool run-workflow workflow.yaml parameter1=command parameter2=line

Variables can be changed at runtime by some steps:

# Workflow parameters
parameters:
  reported-version: unknown
  dotnet-version: unknown
  pretty-version: unknown

steps:
- command: get-version
  inputs:
    spdx: manifest.spdx.json
    id: SPDXRef-DotNetSDK
    output: reported-version

- command: query
  inputs:
    output: dotnet-version
    pattern: '(?<value>\d+\.\d+\.\d+)'
    program: dotnet
    arguments:
    - '--version'

- command: set-variable
  inputs:
    value: DotNet Version is ${{ dotnet-version }}
    output: pretty-version
