Watching golang source w net/http server

Hi @dNaszta, Task's watcher is not 100% polished, so it may fail in some scenarios. I suggest you to try dedicated tools like Air (https://github.com/air-verse/air). Both tools can be used together.

Rerun task on dep build.

Hi @noel, Perhaps you could paste a small example Taskfile on what exactly you're trying to do? What is preventing that task to run? Is it fingerprinting (via sources:) or are you using run: :once?

Parentheses in commands

Looks like there's a leading $ in front of that string. I think it shouldn't be there.

Parentheses in commands

@ibragdzh Can you paste that part of your Taskfile? It an YAML parse error, so it looks like simply wrapping your command into quotes would work.

Is it possible to to specify a Go version in a Taskfile?

@HighDesertStorm Task certainly won't download Go for you. It's a generic task runner: it will basically just run the commands you've configured on your Taskfile.

Is it possible to to specify a Go version in a Taskfile?

Hi @HighDesertStorm, Your Taskfile will call whatever go binary is available in your PATH. You can call go version to know its version. If you want a different version, you'll need to install it yourself.

Hi @trim21, Take a look at the special variables, specially ROOT_DIR, TASKFILE_DIR and USER_WORKING_DIR. https://taskfile.dev/reference/templating/#special-variables

Using sh to generate a map?

Hi @JonZeolla, I suggest you do make a comment on https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/1585 with your proposal. There, it would be less likely to be forgotten, as Discord is more for questions than feature requests.

Required input does not prevent dependencies from running and dependencies do not share variables

Hi @Bluestopher, 1. I would move DATE and GIT_HASH as global variables, and just reference them on the calls with DATE: '{{.DATE}}' 2. You might want to create an issue about this so we can think about changing this behavior in the future.

Should the 'generates' folders be automatically excluded from 'sources' evaluaton?

Does the date/time affect the output of the checksum checker?

What we do check is if there are any files from generates available. If not, we assume is wan't run and run again.

Static context issues

Hi @Leon, I'm actually not sure if we would want to add that behavior. That would improve the code complexity and add room for new bugs. Keep in mind that we need to take concurrency into account when implementing things, and sharing state between tasks might not play well with tasks running concurrently.

is there a way to give required variables check in the root level similar to the task level?

@GokulnathP No, that is only available for tasks at the moment. Feel free to open an issue on GitHub with this feature request if you want.

Looking for advice - Rendering template files

Hi, To me, it looks as something that should be an external tool or script, and that you would use Task as just an entrypoint.

Referencing parent tasks

Hi @Leon, It is as simple as prepending : when calling the task:

cmds:
  - task: :root-taskfile-name

cmds:

commands composition?

Hi @José, Isn't this something that will work for you?

  internal_build:
    cmds:
      - env GOOS={{.GOOS}} GOARCH={{.GOARCH}} go build -ldflags "{{.LDFLAGS}}"

  build-linux-amd64:

      - tasks: internal-build
        vars:
          GOOS: linux
          GOARCH: amd64
