Adding event bindings

This section describes how to add an event to a v2.x devfile. An event specified in a v1.x devfile still works in a v2.x devfile.

Procedure

1. Add an events section in the devfile, containing a list of preStart and postStart commands.

   v2

   devfile.yaml

   commands:
     - id: init-project
       apply:
         component: tools
     - id: copy-artifacts
       exec:
         component: tools
         commandLine: "cp files"
         workingDir: $PROJECTS_ROOT
     - id: init-cache
       exec:
         component: tools
         commandLine: "init cache"
         workingDir: /.m2
     - id: pre-compile-cmd
       composite:
         commands:
           - copy-artifacts
           - init-cache
   events:
     preStart:
       - init-project
     postStart:
       - pre-compile-cmd
