Executable Resources

An executable resource is a file that can be executed. It can be a file with an .exe, .sh, .bat, etc. extension. You can find a list of executable file extensions here (opens in a new tab).

Declaration

In case you have resources that are executables, you can declare them in the .aml file so that they are copied into the package with their associated execution mode. Simply add the executable field as True. Let's take the following example, we have a folder resources containing three files app1.py, app2.sh, and app3, and the declaration file .aml. We want these files to be copied into the package with their associated execution mode.

- source: app1.py
  destination: app1.py
  executable: True
  compatibility:
    - ...
- source: app2.sh
  destination: app2.sh
  executable: True
  compatibility:
    - ...
- source: app3
  destination: app1
  executable: True
  compatibility:
    - ...

By default, this field is set to False. If you do not declare it, the file will be copied into the package but will not be executable.
