@go-task/cli 3.53.1

v3.53.1

on Node.js NPM

🚀 Features

• Remote Taskfiles are now generally available! This has been an experimental feature for 3 years, but is now enabled by default. Massive thanks to all those that contributed and gave feedback (too many to list here). We've also given the Remote Taskfiles documentation a bit of a polish (#1317, #2906 by @pd93).
• Added a per-command timeout that terminates a command once it exceeds the given duration (Go duration syntax). It covers shell commands, task calls, deferred commands, deps and the if condition, obeys ignore_error, and reports exit code 124. Callers that join a run: once or when_changed task already running now honor their own timeout, and inherit that task's failure instead of being told it succeeded (#1569, #2898 by @vmaerten).
• Considerably improve performance of fingerprinting on large repositories (monorepos). Fingerprinting is up to 86% faster and make up to 70% fewer memory allocations on the more advanced scenarios. Benchmarks were added as well. We're basically skipping work when not needed. (#2853, #2883 by @Napolitain, #2884 by @Napolitain).
• Further improved fingerprinting performance on large repositories: hashing source files now reuses a single buffer, reducing memory allocations by ~98% and wall-clock time by ~7% (#2925 by @vmaerten).
• includes.excludes can now exclude a whole namespace: append :* to the namespace name, e.g. excludes: ['debug:*']. Bare entries still match a single task name exactly (#2300, #2959 by @xmxxc).
• Added support for enum.ref in --interactive prompts. Required vars using enum.ref now show the selection list like static enums, instead of falling back to free-form input (#2817 by @vmaerten).
• Added Nushell completions, available via task --completion nu. They complete task names and aliases, every flag with its description, and the values of --completion, --output and --sort (#2966 by @vmaerten).
• Added a verbose log line for failed tasks. In --verbose mode, a task whose command exits non-zero now reports task: "<name>" failed: <error> instead of stopping without a trace (#2240 by @Drino).

🐛 Fixes

• Fixed a pinned checksum: not being verified when a remote Taskfile came from the cache (#2980 by @vmaerten).
• Fixed the fingerprint variable ({{.CHECKSUM}}/{{.TIMESTAMP}}) ignoring a method: set at the Taskfile level: the variable now follows the same method resolution as the up-to-date check. Only the variable matching the effective method is injected, so a task inheriting a Taskfile-level method: timestamp gets {{.TIMESTAMP}} and no longer a {{.CHECKSUM}} (which now renders as an empty string), and neither variable is injected when the effective method is none (#2924 by @vmaerten).
• Fixed ref: in for: matrix: and enum: only accepting literal lists. Refs computed with template functions like keys or splitList no longer fail with "must resolve to a list" (#2544, #2956 by @no-hup).
• Fixed pressing Esc at an interactive variable prompt not cancelling the run (#2942 by @anilnatha).
• Fixed joinUrl collapsing the // in a URL scheme (e.g. producing http:/localhost instead of http://localhost) (#2915 by @vsaraikin).
• Fixed the JSON schema rejecting ignore_error on a command inside a for loop. Editors no longer flag a Taskfile that Task runs perfectly fine (#2044 by @gokeefe-atb).
• Fixed the JSON schema rejecting more keys the Taskfile parser accepts: ignore_error on a task: call, and if, set and shopt on a command inside a for loop (#2967 by @vmaerten).

📚 Documentation & Website

• Updated taskfile versions doc to mention when version checks were introduced (#2184 by @jubr).
• Load the sidebar data and titles/excerpts from the blog post markdown document and its frontmatter on the website (#2981 by @pd93).
