Termux Tasker Plugin Tudo Templates
Name: Termux Tasker Plugin Tudo Templates
ID: 1002
Collision Handling: Abort New Task
Keep Device Awake: false
A task that provides templates for running tudo script commands with the Termux:Tasker plugin in termux user context in termux. This task requires Termux:Tasker version >= 0.5. Tasker must be granted com.termux.permission.RUN_COMMAND permission. The tudo script must be installed at $PREFIX/bin/tudo. The allow-external-apps property must also be set to true in ~/.termux/termux.properties file since the $PREFIX/bin/tudo absolute path is outside the ~/.termux/tasker/ directory, otherwise the plugin actions will fail. For android >= 10, Termux must also be granted Draw Over Apps permissions so that foreground commands automatically start executing without the user having to manually click the Termux notification in the status bar dropdown notifications list for the commands to start.
Check Termux:Tasker Github for more details on plugin configuration and variables and how to handle them.
Check tudo for more details for the tudo script.
Template 1 runs the $PREFIX/bin/tudo getprop "ro.build.version.sdk" command in the background as a template for the path command_type to get the android sdk version of the device. The args sent do not contain any quotes or special characters and can simply be sent, optionally surrounded with double quotes.
Template 2 runs the $PREFIX/bin/tudo -s '%core_script' '%argument_1' '%argument_2' command in the background as a template for the script command_type with bash as the tudo shell, which would be chosen automatically by default without having to pass the --shell option. The termux_tasker_basic_bash_test bash script text is passed as the core_script argument with 2 complex dynamic args that may contain quotes or special characters, basically a literal string. The -s command option is passed to set command_type to script. The result is received back in the %stdout variable. The tudo executable is passed to the plugin using the %executable variable. The %core_script, %argument_1 and %argument_2 variables are used to store the dynamic values to be sent as $1, $2 and $3 respectively to tudo and are sent surrounded with single quotes instead of double quotes. They are first all set in the %arguments variable surrounded with single quotes and separated by a whitespace which is passed to the plugin. The %core_script, %argument_1 and %argument_2 variables may contain any type of characters, even a single quote, but single quotes must be escaped before the plugin action is run. To escape the single quotes, Variable Search Replace action is run to replace all single quotes ' with one single quote, followed by one backslash, followed by two single quotes '\''. So %argument_1 surrounded with single quotes that would have been passed like 'some arg with single quote ' in it' will be passed as 'some arg with single quote '\'' in it'. This is basically 3 parts 'some arg with single quote ', \' and ' in it' but when processed, it will be considered as one single argument with the value some arg with single quote ' in it that is passed to the executable as $2. The Variable Search Replace action must be used separately for each argument variable before adding it to the %arguments variable. Do not set multiple arguments in the same variable and use Variable Search Replace action on it since that will result in incorrect quoting. This template shows how you can dynamically create plugin commands at runtime using variables and send them to the plugin for execution, including passing the script text itself without having to create a physical file in ~/.termux/tasker/ directory.
Template 3 is almost the same as Template 2, but it runs the $PREFIX/bin/tudo -s --shell=python '%core_script' '%argument_1' '%argument_2' command in the background as a template for the script command_type with python as the tudo shell. The termux_tasker_basic_python_test python script text is passed as the core_script argument with 2 complex dynamic args that may contain quotes or special characters, basically a literal string. The result is received back in the %stdout variable.
Template 4 runs $PREFIX/bin/tudo --shell-pre-commands="echo 'starting tudo shell';" --title='tudo' su in the foreground as a template for the su command_type to start an interactive bash shell with priority to termux binaries and libraries. The --shell-pre-commands option is passed to run some commands before starting the interactive bash shell and its argument is passed surrounded with double quotes to prevent whitespace splitting. The --title option is passed to set the title of the terminal. Since commands will be run in a foreground terminal session, the %stdout, %stderr and %result variables will not be returned and only %err and %errmsg may be returned if the action fails.
The $PREFIX/ is a shortcut for the termux prefix directory /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/. The ~/ is a shortcut for the termux home directory /data/data/com.termux/files/home/. These shortcuts can be used in the Executable and the Working Directory plugin fields and in any path arguments to the tudo command. The scripts or binaries in the ~/.termux/tasker/ directory do not require them to prefixed with the full path, just set the name in the Executable field.
The %command_failed variable will be set if the plugin action failed, this is detected by whether %err or %errmsg is set by the plugin action or if %result does not equal 0 for background commands. If you run multiple plugin actions in the same task or are using Local Variable Passthrough, then you must clear the %command_failed variable and optionally the %errmsg, %stdout, %stderr and %result variables with the Variable Clear action before running each plugin action, in case they were already set, like by a previously failed plugin action after which the task was not stopped.
To debug arguments being passed or any errors, you can check logcat after increasing log level to Debug. Check Debugging section of README.md for more details.

Task Name: Termux Tasker Plugin Tudo Templates
Actions:
<A task that provides templates for running `tudo` script commands with the Termux:Tasker plugin in `termux` user context in termux. This task requires Termux:Tasker version `>= 0.5`. Tasker must be granted `com.termux.permission.RUN_COMMAND` permission. The `tudo` script must be installed at `$PREFIX/bin/tudo`. The `allow-external-apps` property must also be set to `true` in `~/.termux/termux.properties` file since the `$PREFIX/bin/tudo` absolute path is outside the `~/.termux/tasker/` directory, otherwise the plugin actions will fail. For android `>= 10`, Termux must also be granted `Draw Over Apps` permissions so that foreground commands automatically start executing without the user having to manually click the `Termux` notification in the status bar dropdown notifications list for the commands to start.
Check [Termux:Tasker Github](https:/termux/termux-tasker) for more details on plugin configuration and variables and how to handle them.
Check [tudo](https:/agnostic-apollo/tudo) for more details for the `tudo` script.
Template 1 runs the `$PREFIX/bin/tudo getprop "ro.build.version.sdk"` command in the background as a template for the `path` `command_type` to get the android sdk version of the device. The args sent do not contain any quotes or special characters and can simply be sent, optionally surrounded with double quotes.
Template 2 runs the `$PREFIX/bin/tudo -s '%core_script' '%argument_1' '%argument_2'` command in the background as a template for the `script` `command_type` with `bash` as the `tudo shell`, which would be chosen automatically by default without having to pass the `--shell` option. The `termux_tasker_basic_bash_test` `bash` script text is passed as the `core_script` argument with 2 complex dynamic args that may contain quotes or special characters, basically a literal string. The `-s` command option is passed to set `command_type` to `script`. The result is received back in the `%stdout` variable. The `tudo` executable is passed to the plugin using the `%executable` variable. The `%core_script`, `%argument_1` and `%argument_2` variables are used to store the dynamic values to be sent as `$1`, `$2` and `$3` respectively to `tudo` and are sent surrounded with single quotes instead of double quotes. They are first all set in the `%arguments` variable surrounded with single quotes and separated by a whitespace which is passed to the plugin. The `%core_script`, `%argument_1` and `%argument_2` variables may contain any type of characters, even a single quote, but single quotes must be escaped before the plugin action is run. To escape the single quotes, `Variable Search Replace` action is run to replace all single quotes `'` with one single quote, followed by one backslash, followed by two single quotes `'\''`. So `%argument_1` surrounded with single quotes that would have been passed like `'some arg with single quote ' in it'` will be passed as `'some arg with single quote '\'' in it'`. This is basically 3 parts `'some arg with single quote '`, `\'` and `' in it'` but when processed, it will be considered as one single argument with the value `some arg with single quote ' in it` that is passed to the executable as `$2`. The `Variable Search Replace` action must be used separately for each argument variable before adding it to the `%arguments` variable. Do not set multiple arguments in the same variable and use `Variable Search Replace` action on it since that will result in incorrect quoting. This template shows how you can dynamically create plugin commands at runtime using variables and send them to the plugin for execution, including passing the script text itself without having to create a physical file in `~/.termux/tasker/` directory.
Template 3 is almost the same as Template 2, but it runs the `$PREFIX/bin/tudo -s --shell=python '%core_script' '%argument_1' '%argument_2'` command in the background as a template for the `script` `command_type` with `python` as the `tudo shell`. The `termux_tasker_basic_python_test` `python` script text is passed as the `core_script` argument with 2 complex dynamic args that may contain quotes or special characters, basically a literal string. The result is received back in the `%stdout` variable.
Template 4 runs `$PREFIX/bin/tudo --shell-pre-commands="echo 'starting tudo shell';" --title='tudo' su` in the foreground as a template for the `su` `command_type` to start an interactive `bash` shell with priority to termux binaries and libraries. The `--shell-pre-commands` option is passed to run some commands before starting the interactive `bash` shell and its argument is passed surrounded with double quotes to prevent whitespace splitting. The `--title` option is passed to set the title of the terminal. Since commands will be run in a foreground terminal session, the `%stdout`, `%stderr` and `%result` variables will not be returned and only `%err` and `%errmsg` may be returned if the action fails.
The `$PREFIX/` is a shortcut for the termux prefix directory `/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/`. The `~/` is a shortcut for the termux home directory `/data/data/com.termux/files/home/`. These shortcuts can be used in the `Executable` and the `Working Directory` plugin fields and in any path arguments to the `tudo` command. The scripts or binaries in the `~/.termux/tasker/` directory do not require them to prefixed with the full path, just set the name in the `Executable` field.
The `%command_failed` variable will be set if the plugin action failed, this is detected by whether `%err` or `%errmsg` is set by the plugin action or if `%result` does not equal `0` for background commands. If you run multiple plugin actions in the same task or are using `Local Variable Passthrough`, then you must clear the `%command_failed` variable and optionally the `%errmsg`, `%stdout`, `%stderr` and `%result` variables with the `Variable Clear` action before running each plugin action, in case they were already set, like by a previously failed plugin action after which the task was not stopped.
To debug arguments being passed or any errors, you can check `logcat` after increasing log level to `Debug`. Check `Debugging` section of `README.md` for more details.
