Overwrite included Task dependencies

[blindzero]

The primary goal was the following:

• I have different environments, one AppVeyor CI/CD, one "manual" executing build tasks from local shell
• when running the Task manually (e.g. TestIntegration), I want to have it depending from Build, Analyze, ...
• when running the Task in AppVeyor, I want it to have no dependency as AppVeyor itself separates between build_script and test_script. When running TestIntegration with the dependency it would build two times (once in build_script and once in TestIntegration through this dependency
• I wanted to
  • define "TestIntegration" task without dependency in a separate file
  • separate two different psakeFile.ENVIRONMENT.ps1 for the Invoke-PSake
  • Include TestIntegration.ps1 in one of the psakeFile's as-is
  • Include TestIntegration.ps1 in the other psakeFile and set additional dependency

Expected Behavior

• Defining PSake Tasks in other files "psake.MyTask.ps1"

Task MyTask {
   Do-Something
}

• Include PSake Task file

Include psake.MyTask.ps1

• Add additional dependency

Task MyTask {} -Depends OtherTask

Current Behavior

Doing this above brings up an error:

WindowsPowerShell\Modules\psake\4.9.0\public\Assert.ps1:69 char:9 +         throw ('Assert: {0}' -f $failureMessage) +         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [<<==>>] Exception: Assert: Task compile has already been defined.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Your Environment

• Module version used: 4.9.0
• Operating System and PowerShell version: Win 10 1909 PS 5.1

What you're trying to do can already be achieved. Our psake build scripts are set up to do similar things.

Task Build {
    Build-Stuff
}

Task Analyze {
    Analyze-Stuff
}

Task MyTask {
    Do-Something
}

Task MyLocalTask -Depends Build,Analyze,MyTask {}

When running locally, you will run the MyLocalTask, but AppVeyor would run MyTask.

Hi @UberDoodles
thanks for that reply...yeah would work.
I wanted to avoid to have different names again and wanted simply to use Includes but...accepted ;)
Thanks,
