argument using a just variable not showing

[tomikais]

Hi @casey,

first of all I wanna thank you for all your work and this awesome tool. I have an issue and don't know if it's a bug or my fault^^

@hello_world: (_print "{{string}}! 123")

string := 'hello world'

@_print VALUE:
    echo {{VALUE}}

When executing just it's printing: "{{string}}! 123"

Kind regards, Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for the kind words!

At the moment, string interpolation is only supported in recipe bodies, not inside string literals. #822 is open to fix this, but it's stalled at the moment.

You can use concatenation with + instead:

@hello_world: (_print string + "! 123")

string := 'hello world'

@_print VALUE:
    echo {{VALUE}}

Hope that works!
