I try:
ctests() {
curl -X POST \
http://route.to.host/cucumber/execute-tests \
-H 'Authorization: Basic xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
-d '{ "text": "cucumber! alltests products=$1" }'
}
And want to call this like
> ctests someproduct
But $1 wont resolve. I tried ${1}, but its the same. Is there a nice solution for this?
the $1 doesn't resolve because you are using single-ticks ' which prohibit variable resolution.
use double-ticks (") instead (you'll have to escape the double-quotes inside the double-quotes; or use single-quotes within the double-quotes; depending on your context)
ctests() {
curl -X POST \
http://route.to.host/cucumber/execute-tests \
-H 'Authorization: Basic xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
-d "{ \"text\": \"cucumber! alltests products=$1\" }"
}
quoting bash(1):
