flow exec

Execute any executable by reference.

Synopsis

Execute an executable where EXECUTABLE_ID is the target executable's ID in the form of 'ws/ns:name'. The flow subcommand used should match the target executable's verb or one of its aliases.

If the target executable accept arguments, they can be passed in the form of flag or positional arguments. Flag arguments are specified with the format 'flag=value' and positional arguments are specified as values without any prefix.

See https://flowexec.io/types/flowfile?id=executableverb for more information on executable verbs and https://flowexec.io/types/flowfile?id=executableref for more information on executable IDs.

Examples

Execute a nameless flow in the current workspace with the 'install' verb

flow install

Execute a nameless flow in the 'ws' workspace with the 'test' verb

flow test ws/

Execute the 'build' flow in the current workspace and namespace

flow exec build

flow run build (Equivalent to the above since 'run' is an alias for the 'exec' verb)

Execute the 'build' flow in the 'ws' workspace and 'ns' namespace

flow exec ws/ns:build
