takt

Task runner with cancel

NOTE

This tool is now under implementation. Many planned features are missing.

Features

takt includes several notable features

• Dependency Resolution
• Immediate Termination

Example

tasks:
  bundle:
    steps:
      - run: bundle install
  yarn:
    steps:
      - run: yarn install
  rails:
    depends:
      - bundle
    steps:
      - run: bin/rails s
  dev-server:
    depends:
      - yarn
    steps:
      - run: yarn start

Dependency Resolution

This configuration above, takt does as follows

• run bundle and yarn concurrently
• once bundle finishes, run rails
• once yarn finishes, run dev-server

So that you can start multiple processes with a single command.

Immediate Termination

Unlikee make, when a task exited with errors, takt immediately sends SIGTERM to safely stop all other tasks. In the example above, when yarn start failed to start rails process would be terminated.
