Allow values inside collection-type variables to reference one another #1544
Description
Relates to:
- completion not working when using a variable as a
replaceargument #1477 - Any variables: Template strings in nested map variables aren't executed #1511
The issues above were fixed in #1526. However, this still left the issue described in #1415 (comment) unresolved. This issue is to track the functionality described there.
It is possible to use variables inside other collection-type variables. However, you are not currently able to refer to a key within the same collection-type variable in another key. For example:
version: '3'
vars:
foo: "foo"
bar:
works: "{{.foo}}" # Refers to a value in a different variable
baz:
qux: "qux"
works: "{{.bar.works}}" # Refers to a nested value in a different variable
fails: "{{.baz.qux}}" # Refers to a nested value in THE SAME variable
tasks:
works:
cmds:
- echo {{.bar.works}}
- echo {{.baz.works}}
fails:
cmds:
- echo {{.baz.fails}}❯ TASK_X_ANY_VARIABLES=1 taskd --dir ./tmp/foo works
task: [works] echo foo
foo
task: [works] echo foo
foo❯ TASK_X_ANY_VARIABLES=1 taskd --dir ./tmp/foo fails
task: [fails] echo
# Prints nothing
