Hello Org-mode community. I’m using Emacs Doom Framework, specifically:
Emacs 28.2 (build 1, aarch64-apple-darwin22.3.0, Carbon Version 169 AppKit
2299.4) of 2023-02-23.
I use heavily org-mode for Literate DevOps, so I have a lot of shell commands
that connect through SSH and do some things later, for example:
#+name: initSSH
#+begin_src shell :var connection=“admin@somehost"
ssh -t miguel@host "sudo -u someuser ssh -t $connection 'sudo su'"
#+end_src
So then I can call:
#+call: initSSH(connection=“admin@anotherhost”)
With any other header parameters or session, the above works correctly. I
cannot use tramp due to network latency issues, so this is the most performance
way for me, since I also have to do some multi-hops which are indeed supported
in tramp, but it is too slow for me, so I rather only commands.
The thing is that, I then would like to call these not with a #+call function,
but add them into a bigger script, let’s say that I define another command:
#+name: getStorage
#+begin_src shell
df
#+end_src
Which has to be run in a remote server, could be any remote server as I have to
connect to several. So I would like to be able to:
#+begin_src shell
<<initSSH(connection=“admin@anotherhost”)>>
<<getStorage>>
#+end_src
The first doesn’t work as org-mode runs the code and passes the resulting
string to bash, which isn’t a command. The latter works normally. So the issue
here are the parameters.
So I made another simple example for this:
#+name: greeting
#+begin_src sh :var name="world" :results output :session testing
echo "hello, $name\!"
#+end_src
#+results: greeting
#+begin_src sh
hello, world\!
#+end_src
#+begin_src shell
<<greeting(name="ss")>>
#+end_src
This results in sh: hello,: command not found, as it is executing the function.
I see in the documentation that I can:
- Call a function’s body with <<namedcodeblock>>
- Execute a function and return its results with <<namedcodeblock()>>
- Execute a function and return its results even with different params with
<<namedcodeblock(param=“sds”)>>
So right now, the one that’s missing is, call a function’s body with different
parameters. So the function <<namedcodeblock>> is not evaluated.
After searching a lot, I came across:
#+begin_src shell :session testing
<<greeting[:body](name="Testingggg")>>
#+end_src
Which results in:
sh-3.2$ PS1="org_babel_sh_prompt> "
org_babel_sh_prompt> name='Testingggg'
org_babel_sh_prompt> echo "hello, $name\!"
hello, Testingggg\!
org_babel_sh_prompt> echo 'org_babel_sh_eoe'
org_babel_sh_eoe
org_babel_sh_prompt> hello, Testingggg\!
sh: hello,: command not found
org_babel_sh_prompt> echo 'org_babel_sh_eoe'
org_babel_sh_eoe
org_babel_sh_prompt>
Which is somewhat what I need since at least the variable is changed, but the
result of this execution is also passed to shell so, same error.
I can’t find much documentation about this, what is the correct syntax here?,
Thank you!
