Result Decode

Access task results after plan execution or pass data between tasks.

Post-Run Access​

After plan.Run(), inspect results via Report.Tasks:

report, err := plan.Run(context.Background())

for _, r := range report.Tasks {
    fmt.Printf("Task: %s  status=%s  changed=%v\n",
        r.Name, r.Status, r.Changed)
    if len(r.Data) > 0 {
        b, _ := json.MarshalIndent(r.Data, "  ", "  ")
        fmt.Printf("  data=%s\n", b)
    }
}

TaskFuncWithResults​

Use TaskFuncWithResults to read upstream task data during execution:

summary := plan.TaskFuncWithResults("print-summary",
    func(
        _ context.Context,
        _ *client.Client,
        results orchestrator.Results,
    ) (*orchestrator.Result, error) {
        if r := results.Get("get-hostname"); r != nil {
            if h, ok := r.Data["hostname"].(string); ok {
                fmt.Printf("Hostname: %s\n", h)
            }
        }
        return &orchestrator.Result{Changed: false}, nil
    },
)
summary.DependsOn(getHostname)
