Pipenv: Multiple shell commands in pipenv script

[stevenhair]

Scripts should allow multiple shell commands to be run as one "script". Both Yarn and npm allow this. Currently, if you try to do this:

[scripts]
foo = "echo 'bar' && echo 'baz'"

it will result in bar && echo baz. You can sidestep this issue by doing something like

[scripts]
foo = "bash -c \"echo 'bar' && echo 'baz'\""

but

1. that's a bit inconvenient
2. it isn't a cross-platform solution (it won't work on Windows)

The use case that I have is running coverage report after running coverage, but it's definitely something that would have many general uses.

Expected result

Running pipenv run foo should result in:

baz

Actual result

Running pipenv run foo results in:

bar && echo baz

Steps to replicate

Create a Pipfile with the following:

[scripts]
foo = "bash -c \"echo 'bar' && echo 'baz'\""

This has been discussed before. The bottom line is this is to difficult to get right, especially since Pipenv needs to support a cross-platform experience. Use a task runner for this, or shell scripts.

Sorry, should’ve mentioned I’m not closing because we don’t want to accept this, but because this is a duplicate.

@stevenhair as a FYI the duplicate tag isn't really a criticism or a dismissal it's more for internal note and as a note to other maintainers that we have already hashed this out. Nothing personal, the request is legitimate -- it just carries a lot of complexity that we can't afford to support. Thanks for filing the issue and digging up the reference!

Oh, I know - I didn't mean sound annoyed or brash in my response, it was just a note for future travellers.
