sandbox

sandbox

Go library to create & manage lightweight sandboxes (like temporary files).

Requirements

• Go >= 1.10

Installation

This is a pure library, there is no associated command..

Installation is like many Go libraries with a simple

go get github.com/keltia/sandbox

sandbox also has vgo support & metadata (see the articles on vgo). It respects the Semantic Versioning principle with tagged releases.

You can thus use

vgo install github.com/keltia/sandbox

to install the library.

API Usage

snd, err := sandbox.New("foo")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("can not create sandbox: %v", err)
}
defer snd.Cleanup()

err := snd.Enter()
fmt.Println("Inside sandbox")
err := snd.Exit()

You can also sandbox a single func with Run():

err := snd.Run(func() error {
    fmt.Printf("I am in %d", snd.Cwd())
})

History

I originally wrote this code for various projects of mine and have re-used it enough time to think about putting it into its own module.
