variables not overriding.

[joeblew999]

Going batty trying to get consistent behaviour...

I expected to get HTML_DEEP_PATH with test1 in it, from the .env, but nope :)

Would appreciate advice on what I am missing...

If I move the 3 variables into the var: area it blows up also.

run.env

HTML_DEEP_PATH={{.PWD}}/test1
HTML_DEEP_NAME=name
HTML_DEEP_WHICH={{.HTML_DEEP_PATH}}/{{.HTML_DEEP_NAME}}

taskfile.yml:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://taskfile.dev/schema.json

version: '3'

# MUST have this ONLY in root for env variables to work.
dotenv: ['run.env', '{{.ENV}}/.env', '{{.HOME}}/.env']


env:

  HTML_DEEP_PATH: '{{.HTML_DEEP_PATH | default "{{.PWD}}" }}'
  HTML_DEEP_NAME: '{{.HTML_DEEP_NAME | default "test.html" }}'
  
  HTML_DEEP_WHICH: '{{.HTML_DEEP_PATH}}/{{.HTML_DEEP_NAME}}'

var:



tasks:
  default:
    cmds:
      - echo ''
      - echo HTML_DEEP_PATH              {{shellQuote .HTML_DEEP_PATH}}
      - echo HTML_DEEP_NAME              {{.HTML_DEEP_NAME}}
      - echo HTML_DEEP_WHICH             {{shellQuote .HTML_DEEP_WHICH}}
      - echo ''
    silent: true

  

run it:

task

HTML_DEEP_PATH {{.PWD}}
HTML_DEEP_NAME test.html
HTML_DEEP_WHICH {{.PWD}}/test.html

for other newbies I worked it out

need them as vars:
putting them in env: does not work.

But CLI level overrides dont work for me ...

HTML_DEEP_NAME=d.html  task

HTML_DEEP_PATH /Users/apple/workspace/go/src/github.com/joeblew999/pb-stack/mod/gui-web-native/test
HTML_DEEP_NAME index.html
HTML_DEEP_WHICH /Users/apple/workspace/go/src/github.com/joeblew999/pb-stack/mod/gui-web-native/test/index.html

Would really like to know how to get the CLI overriding working.
