How to run a complex/multi shell command task properly?

[rlhk]

I have a command in package.json script like:
"rm -fr ./dist ./out/* && yarn && mkdir ./dist && cp resources/* ./dist/ && npx shadow-cljs watch :plugin :test"

Trying to move to bb :task like (shell "rm -fr ./dist ./out/* && yarn && mkdir ./dist && cp resources/* ./dist/ && npx shadow-cljs watch :plugin :test") obvious doesn't work

The guide has no hint. How should it be achieved / organised in bb ? Wrapping it in another shell script seems to defeat bb task's purpose. Multiple shell in do block?

@rlhk Yes, multiple shell in a do block.

Something like:

(fs/delete-tree "dist")
(fs/delete-tree "out")
(shell "yarn")
(fs/create-dir "dist")
(fs/copy-tree "resources" "dist")
(shell "npx shadow-cljs watch :plugin :test")

There may be a bug in there, but that's the gist of it.

More consistent with shell cmds this way:

(doseq [cmd ["rm -fr ./dist ./out/*"
             "yarn", "mkdir ./dist"
             "cp -r resources/ dist"
             "npx shadow-cljs watch :plugin :test"]]
  (shell cmd))

Maybe a shells helper? LOL
A matter of personal preference anyway

Wrote a simple fn to make bb.edn a bit more concise:
