inv-runner

Automate Python Invoke tasks by orchestrating commands across development, testing, and production environments. This skill executes repository workflows like managing Docker services and running tests through simple inv commands.

Before running Invoke commands, you need Python installed, a prepared virtual environment, and project dependencies loaded. Docker is optional but required if you need to manage Docker-based local development services.

Run tests and manage Docker services by executing Invoke commands like inv dev.up or inv test.run --cmd 'pytest -v' in your terminal. This orchestrates local development environments and test suites directly.

Yes, you can update and extend project workflows by directly editing or adding tasks within the repository. This allows you to customize database migrations, testing, and Docker management commands.

Yes, the automation works without Docker, but Docker is required specifically for managing local development services. Core Python Invoke tasks like running tests or applying database migrations function independently.

Use Python Invoke for repo task automation to achieve unified dev, test, and prod orchestration. It provides structured command execution for complex workflows like database migrations and Docker service management compared to standard shell scripts.
