[Question] Best practice around "remote" taskfiles

Hi @leaanthony. Sorry for the wait, it was a holiday here in Brazil in the past days, so I was OOO. I don't have the full context of what you're trying to do at Wails, but from what I could understand, I'd say it'd be better to disallow remote Taskfiles or vendor them somehow so we avoid issues with synchronization. If the plugin version differs from remote, you could have issues.

How to reuse code in taskfile?

1. You could try a shorter syntax for calling a different task if you want:

bash: { cmd: run-in-docker, vars: { DOCKER_COMMAND: 'docker compose exec -u nginx php bash' } }

bash: { cmd: run-in-docker, vars: { DOCKER_COMMAND: 'docker compose exec -u nginx php bash' } }

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.

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.
