[question] How to get the parameters of a task? Is it possible?

[jabbalaci]

I would like to use pynt for a Java project. The caller task looks like this:

@task()
def run():
    cmd = "java -cp build/classes/java/main adder.Adder"
    print(cmd)
    os.system(cmd)

Let's suppose that we can pass command-line arguments to the Java program:

bash$ java -cp build/classes/java/main adder.Adder 5 6
11

and it adds them together. Would it be possible to pass these arguments to a task and then forward them to the Java program? I want a call like this:

bash$ pynt run 5 6
11

At the moment pynt thinks that "5" is another task and drops an error that it doesn't exist.

Can you please take a few minutes and read the documentation? This is well documented

Thanks, I found it. I put it here for future references:

@task()
def run(*args, **kwargs):
    params = " ".join(args)
    cmds = [
        "./add.py {}".format(params)
    ]
    for cmd in cmds:
        call_external_command(cmd)

Normal call:

bash$ ./add.py 5 6
11

Call it via pynt:

bash$ pynt "run[5, 6]"

However, this syntax is quite strange. Other build systems, like Rust's cargo, accept parameters like this: "cargo run 5 6".

you will see the example calls to start, copyfile in the document pynt "task[param1,param2,namedarg=value]"
