Parallel calling of lib's functions

[akrigator]

Hello, i've a small project which align TestRail API to some kind of CLI toolkit. Recently i have discovered Bashly and have try to use it for my tiny project. One of the feature of my project is that it allows to process multiple items at once. For example, API get case request can process only one item at once, however in
cli https://github.com/akrigator/testrail-cli/blob/master/cli/cases/get_case i use parallel for implentaion an ability to get several cases at once. But since bashly packs all lib methods to bash-functions, they became unavailable for execution in parallel calling.
Does someone use any kind of parallelism for functions which can be applied for lib's function?

I have no experience with parallel, but at least one solution seems to be possible; Define the single action you want to perform as a private command, and simply run it through parallel.

Yeah, such approach should work

Minimal test:

# bashly.yml
name: cli

commands:
- name: test
- name: internal
  private: true
  args:
  - name: messages
    repeatable: true
    required: true

# src/test_command.sh
parallel ./cli internal ::: 1 2 3

# src/internal_command.sh
eval "messages=(${args['messages']})"
echo "===> ${messages[*]}"

then running:

$ ./cli test
===> 1
===> 2
===> 3

Something like that i've imagine, except one thing in parallel ./cli internal ::: 1 2 3 - i guess that it's better to reference as cli instead ./cli and add executable's path to fpath env var. To be able run script from everywhere directory

[DannyBen]

cli instead ./cli

of course
