tox-backtocks

A refreshed backticks tox plugin

This is a very early stage release. Use it at your own risks.

Here's the roadmap to 1.0 release and our current status:

• define a backquote var in set_env with a backquoted expression (and nothing else) and evaluate it through bash, inside the tox virtual environment.
• Make of a backquote var usable in commands section.
• Allow another variable to be referenced inside the backquoted expression
• Strip the trailing newline characters of the backquoted expression
• Allow user configure the evaluation of backquote expression to be with a shell or not (either fork the command directly, either fork a shell and evaluate a possible-complex shell expression)
• Allow a backquote var value to contain regular string parts and a backquote expression
• Allow a backquote var value to contain more than one backquote expression
• Allow user to configure if we should strip the trailing newline characters or not.
• Allow another variable to reuse the evaluated backquoted expression
• Allow another variable to reuse the evaluated backquoted expression without reevaluating it :) (I mean, it's hacked, but heh, better than nothing)
• If evaluating through a shell, automatically add said shell to allowlist_externals section
• Have a working package
• Write user documentation
