History¶
** Warning: This is an experimental api. It is not a final design, and could be modified in the future. **
Sometimes, you’ll need to store a history of what happened previously, for caching or re-use purposes. In that case, there is a history dictionary available.
import requests
def main(build):
if not build.history.get("script_downloaded", False):
resp = requests.get("http://www.mypage.com/my_script", stream=True)
with open(os.path.join(build.root, "my_script"), "wb") as fh:
for block in response.iter_content(1024):
fh.write(block)
build.history["script_downloaded"] = True
The history can store any of the following primitives:
- strings
- integers
- floats
- boolean
- lists of any storable type
- a dictionary of string keys and any storable type
