Source helper scripts from run_ scripts possible ?

[oschrenk]

I have a bunch of configuration scripts inside .chezmoiscripts

Let's say

run_onchange_03_configure_apps_chrome.sh
run_onchange_03_configure_apps_flux.sh
run_onchange_03_configure_apps_hammerspoon.sh
run_onchange_03_configure_apps_homerow.sh
...

I like to keep them separate for organizational purposes.
But some of the code inside is usually the same, so I extracted it into

configure_apps__helper.sh

and source it via

BASEDIR=$(dirname $0)
source $BASEDIR/configure_apps__helper.sh

It seems though that chezmoi copies the template before executing it to a temporary file, which of course then doesn't contain the helper script.

Apart from hardcoding the path to the helper script is there another way sharing code between the scripts? Ideas?

Where is configure_apps__helper.sh located?

You can get the source directory with chezmoi source-path, or you can turn the scripts into templates and use {{ .chezmoi.sourceDir }}.

It's next to the other scripts in $(chezmoi source-path)/.chezmoiscripts

Using chezmoi source-path sounds like the easiest way forward. Don't want to convert all scripts into templates just for that.

Thank you!
