I think you can create a basic custom command which will run other commands from relevent folders. Here is an approach you can take:
First make a folder structure like this:
management/
commands/
folder_a/
process_A_related_data.py
folder_b/
process_A_related_data.py
process_data.py
Then inside process_data.py, update the command like this:
from django.core import management
from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand
import importlib
class Command(BaseCommand):
help = 'Folder Process Commands'
def add_arguments(self, parser):
parser.add_argument('-u', '--use', type=str, nargs='?', default='folder_a.process_A_related_data')
def handle(self, *args, **options):
try:
folder_file_module = options['use'] if options['use'].startswith('.') else '.' + options['use']
command = importlib.import_module(folder_file_module, package='your_app.management.commands')
management.call_command(command.Command())
except ModuleNotFoundError:
self.stderr.write(f"No relevent folder found: {e.name}")
Here I am using call_command method to call other managment commands.
Then run commands like this:
python manage.py process_data --use folder_a.process_A_related_data
Finally, if you want to run commands like python manage.py folder_a.process_A_related_data, then probably you need to change in manage.py. Like this:
import re
...
try:
from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
except ImportError as exc:
raise ImportError(
"Couldn't import Django. Are you sure it's installed and "
"available on your PYTHONPATH environment variable? Did you "
"forget to activate a virtual environment?"
) from exc
if re.search('folder_[a-z].*', sys.argv[-1]):
new_arguments = sys.argv[:-1] + ['process_data','--use', sys.argv[-1]]
execute_from_command_line(new_arguments)
else:
execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)
management/commands? – Sizeablemanagement/commands. Like for example:management/commands/folderA,management/commands/folderB, etc. When I move them to these folders and import in__init__.py- I see exception shown above. – Lacylad
