Make `pipenv run` run multiple commands

I'm using a Docker container for local web development. I have a bash script I use for running Django's manage.py test, flake8, and coverage html, all within a pipenv environment within the Docker container.

A simple version is:

#!/bin/bash
set -e

docker exec hines_web /bin/sh -c "pipenv run coverage run --source=. manage.py test ; pipenv run flake8 ; pipenv run coverage html"

This works. However, because each command has to separately use pipenv run it's slower than it needs to be.

Is there a way to either chain several commands together after a single pipenv run, or else to send multiple commands into pipenv shell for them to be run?

(Any thoughts on improving the general way of doing this appreciated!)

Here's my workaround which is laborious enough to make me think I'm approaching this entirely wrongly, but it works. Three steps:

1. A shell script that will run our commands. This is designed to be run within the pipenv environment. This is scripts/pipenv-run-tests.sh:

#!/bin/sh
set -e

# Runs the Django test suite, flake8, and generates HTML coverage reports.

# This script is called by using the shortcut defined in Pipfile:
#   pipenv run tests

# You can optionally pass in a test, or test module or class, as an argument, e.g.
# ./pipenv-run-tests.sh tests.appname.test_models.TestClass.test_a_thing
TESTS_TO_RUN=${1:-tests}

coverage run --source=. ./manage.py test $TESTS_TO_RUN
flake8
coverage html

2. We define a Custom Script Shortcut in our Pipfile:

[scripts]
tests = "./scripts/pipenv-run-tests.sh"

This means that if we log into the shell on the Docker container we could do: pipenv run tests and our scripts/pipenv-run-tests.sh would be run, within the pipenv environment. Any arguments included after pipenv run tests are passed on tot he script.

3. Finally we have a script designed to be run from the host machine, that runs our Custom Script Shortcut within Docker. This is scripts/run-tests.sh:

#!/bin/bash
set -e

# Call this from the host machine.
# It will call the `tests` shortcut defined in Pipfile, which will run
# a script within the pipenv environment.

# You can optionally pass in a test, or test module or class, as an argument, e.g.
# ./run-tests.sh tests.appname.test_models.TestClass.test_a_thing
TESTS_TO_RUN=${1:-tests}

docker exec hines_web /bin/sh -c "pipenv run tests $TESTS_TO_RUN"

So now, on the host machine, we can do: ./scripts/run-tests.sh and that will, within the Docker container, call the pipenv shortcut, which will run the scripts/pipenv-run-tests.sh script. Any arguments provided are passed on to the final script.

(Note that hines_web in the above is the name of my Docker container defined in my docker-compose.yml.)
