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:
  - task: :root-taskfile-name

commands composition?

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

version: '3'

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

  build-linux-amd64:
    cmds:
      - tasks: internal-build
        vars:
          GOOS: linux
          GOARCH: amd64
          LDFLAGS: foobarbaz

  # tasks for other paltforms here...

encounter a issue that task caching not working anymore.

Yeah, having separed tasks for Windows and others is probably the most obvious solution. You can use platforms: for that: https://taskfile.dev/usage/#platform-specific-tasks-and-commands

That's a by design behavior. If any of the entries do not have any files, Task will run. The idea is that if the generated file was deleted, it should be re-generated.

how to apply `ignore` in source filter?

Hi @trim21, In theory, that file should not be considered because it does not end with .py. Anyway, it's possible to exclude files with exclude:. See: https://taskfile.dev/usage/#by-fingerprinting-locally-generated-files-and-their-sources
