Develop scripts using BuildBox

To use BuildBox, scripts can rely on BuildBox API, and on BuildBox environment variables.

These scripts should carefully cleanup temporary created resources on exit. You can use trap ... EXIT to help to do this.

Temporary resources created by these scripts should be stored in a temporary folder under $TMPDIR. For example, by using:

tmpdir=$(mktemp -d)

Example of script using BuildBox:

#!/bin/bash
set -e # exit on error
function error {
	rm -r ${tmpdir} # cleanup
}
trap error EXIT # define cleanup function on exit
source buildbox_utils.sh # include BuildBox API
tmpdir=$(mktemp -d) # create unique temporary directory
report_file="${BB_TARGET_DIR}/my_script_report.txt" # use a BuildBox environment variable
[...]
package=$(bb_find_matching_packages 0 my_package) # call on BuildBox API
[...]
exit 0
