Supply non-constant arguments to dynamic variable

Hello I want to use charm/gum with task. I.e. I want to download binary if it not exist and use it with custom arguments. Something like this, but that piece is not valid config. What should I do?

version: "3"
silent: true
vars:
  DIR: cache
  GUM:
    sh: go run github.com/charmbracelet/gum@latest {{.ARGS}}
tasks:
  clean:
    cmds:
      - |
        {{.GUM}} confirm "Clean?" && rm -rf {{.DIR}}

version: "3"
silent: true
vars:
  DIR: cache
  GUM:
    sh: go run github.com/charmbracelet/gum@latest {{.ARGS}}
tasks:
  clean:
    cmds:
      - |
        {{.GUM}} confirm "Clean?" && rm -rf {{.DIR}}

Hello ! Something like that should work :

version: "3"
silent: true
vars:
  DIR: cache
  GUM: go run github.com/charmbracelet/gum@latest
tasks:
  clean:
    cmds:
      - '{{.GUM}} confirm "Clean?" && rm -rf {{.DIR}}'

version: "3"
silent: true
vars:
  DIR: cache
  GUM: go run github.com/charmbracelet/gum@latest
tasks:
  clean:
    cmds:
      - '{{.GUM}} confirm "Clean?" && rm -rf {{.DIR}}'

Oh, so all I was need is to make variable static...

vmaerten•2y ago

Yes 🙂 cmd in cmds are executed after being remplaced by the template engine

Btw, can we also ignore error code printing from task? I know we had issue for reworking --silent flag, but maybe there are workarounds?

You can use ignore_error: true For example:

version: "3"
silent: true
vars:
  DIR: cache
  GUM: go run github.com/charmbracelet/gum@latest
tasks:
  clean:
    ignore_error: true
    cmds:
      - '{{.GUM}} confirm "Clean?" && rm -rf {{.DIR}}'

version: "3"
silent: true
vars:
  DIR: cache
  GUM: go run github.com/charmbracelet/gum@latest
tasks:
  clean:
    ignore_error: true
    cmds:
      - '{{.GUM}} confirm "Clean?" && rm -rf {{.DIR}}'

The first one is with silent: true The second with silent: false

sedyhOP•2y ago

But it will still print the exit status, right?

Yes AFAIK, there is nothing to hide commands' output in Task You may need play with redirect stdout and stderr
