dynamic variables evaluated twice #2063
Description
What did I do?
While writing a task file, I wanted to have a variable A having a value depending on the value of another B that could be passed by the user when calling the task.
I wanted to have a third variable C to use to use the resulting value of A.
The whole taskfile is then imported in another one.
What happened?
Depending on the position of B in the command line, C would be evaluated twice with two different values of A.
This only occurs if the first example.
First example:
included.yml
version: '3.41'
vars:
A: '{{.B | default (.A | default "nope")}}'
C:
sh: echo {{.A}}
tasks:
test: echo {{.C}}task.yml
version: '3.41'
includes:
fail:
taskfile: ./include.ymlExecution:
# executed two times
$ task fail:test -v B=two
task: [/home/mpeim.linux/debug-taskfiles] Not found - Using alternative (taskfile.yml)
task: dynamic variable: "echo nope" result: "nope"
task: dynamic variable: "echo two" result: "two"
task: "fail:test" started
task: [fail:test] echo "two"
two
task: "fail:test" finished
$ B=one task fail:test -v
task: [/home/mpeim.linux/debug-taskfiles] Not found - Using alternative (taskfile.yml)
task: dynamic variable: "echo one" result: "one"
task: "fail:test" started
task: [fail:test] echo "one"
one
task: "fail:test" finishedSecond example:
include.yml stays the same.
taskfile.yml
version: '3.41'
# note that the field `taskfile` is not given
includes:
fail: ./include.ymlExecution:
$ task fail:test -v B=yup
task: [/home/mpeim.linux/debug-taskfiles] Not found - Using alternative (taskfile.yml)
task: dynamic variable: "echo nope" result: "nope"
task: "fail:test" started
task: [fail:test] echo "nope"
nope
task: "fail:test" finished
$ B=one task fail:test -v
task: [/home/mpeim.linux/debug-taskfiles] Not found - Using alternative (taskfile.yml)
task: dynamic variable: "echo one" result: "one"
task: "fail:test" started
task: [fail:test] echo "one"
one
task: "fail:test" finishedExpectated behavior
I would expect the dynamic variable to be executed once in every case.
