• Any commands
• Flexible declaration

Details

• Table: Task Table
• Key: Task Name
• Value: The Task

Table

The Task Table is a child of the Huak (Tool) Table. The Task Table contains key-value pairs for commands Huak can be configured to run. Each key corresponds to an alias or name to use and values contain data for the command like a command string to execute, a list of commands to execute, environment data, and more.

Key (String): Alias/Name

The keys in this table correspond to the name/alias of the command in the Run Table. In the following example, hello-name is the name/alias for the command.

[tool.huak.task]
hello-name = { env = { NAME = "Chris" }, cmd = "python scripts/hello_name.py" }

Value

• One(Task)
• Many(Tasks)

[tool.huak.task]
run-all-tasks = { env = { MY_VAR = "all" }, chain = ["task-one", "task-two", "exec-py-file", "multiple-other"] } 
task-one = "rm -rf some/path"
task-two = ["python",  "path/to/file.py"]
task-three = { env = { MY_VAR = "task three" }, cmd = "python path/to/file.py" }
task-four = { program = "program", args = ["some", "args"] }

Using the Task Table

[tool.huak.task]
hello-name = { env = { NAME = "Chris" }, cmd = "python scripts/hello_name.py" }

huak run hello-name
huak run python -c 'print("Hello, Chris")'
