Consider the following task using a custom dir:
version: '3'
tasks:
test:
dir: test-dir
vars:
TEST_VAR: "This is a test"
cmds:
- echo "This is a test. Using TEST_VAR with value: ${TEST_VAR}"The above task will create the directory test-dir before executing the command if it is not already created.
However, when using a dynamic variable instead, like this:
version: '3'
tasks:
test:
dir: test-dir
vars:
TEST_VAR:
sh: curl https://taskfile.dev
cmds:
- echo "This is a test. Using TEST_VAR with value: ${TEST_VAR}"It fails to execute when the directory test-dir does not yet exist:
task: Command "curl https://taskfile.dev" failed: chdir /home/user/test-dir: no such file or directory
Expected behaviour:
The directory should be created before trying to execute the dynamic variable initialization command.
