Viewing a Simple Three-Step Execution Plan

See more CURL Examples

This example demonstrates a straightforward, valid dependency chain that results in a three-step execution plan. The goal is not to execute the requests, but to inspect how the plan is constructed using ExaminePlan.

The target curl command requires {{order_id}}. A helper function is defined to produce order_id, but it depends on customer_id. Another helper function produces customer_id, which depends on account_name.

Because account_name is provided as a known input, the dependency chain can be fully resolved:

• customer_id is obtained from account_name
• order_id is obtained from customer_id
• The target curl command uses order_id

When ExaminePlan is called, it builds and returns a three-step execution plan showing the order in which each function would be executed.
