test(tasks): migrate test_task_help atask to usage field#9549
Conversation
The tera_template_task_args deprecation warning starts at 2026.5.0, which broke an exact-match assertion in tasks/test_task_help by prepending a deprecation warning to stderr. Migrated atask from the deprecated `arg()` Tera template to the equivalent `usage` field — same help output, no warning. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <[email protected]>

Code Review
This pull request updates the test_task_help E2E test to migrate from Tera-based argument functions to the new task usage syntax and environment variables. The changes include updating the mise.toml generation to use usage definitions and accessing arguments via shell variables. Feedback was provided to quote the $usage_myarg variable in the script to prevent word splitting or glob expansion, ensuring robust handling of arguments with spaces or special characters.

When migrating from the Tera-based arg() function to environment variables, it is recommended to quote the variable in the shell script. The previous Tera implementation handled shell-quoting automatically, whereas using $usage_myarg directly in the script can lead to word splitting or glob expansion if the argument contains spaces or special characters.
run = 'echo "$usage_myarg"'

Tried this — it breaks the bypass-parser assertion at test_task_help:21:
assert "mise atask -q -- --help 2>&1 || true" "--help"
With -- --help the usage parser is skipped, so $usage_myarg is empty. The trailing --help is appended as a script arg:
echo $usage_myarg --help→--help✓ (empty word collapses)echo "$usage_myarg" --help→--help✗ (literal empty arg = leading space)
The test specifically exercises this empty-bypass case, so I'm leaving it unquoted. (Generally good advice though.)

Summary
The
tera_template_task_argsdeprecation haswarn_at = 2026.5.0, which is the version being released in #9485. Once the warning starts firing,tasks/test_task_helpfails:The first assertion in the test is an exact equality check, so the prepended warning breaks it (CI run).
This migrates the test's
ataskfrom the deprecated{{arg(...)}}Tera form to theusagefield. Both produce identical help output, and using the non-deprecated form is the future-correct shape anyway.Test plan
mise run test:e2e tasks/test_task_helppasses locally (all 13 assertions)🤖 Generated with Claude Code
Note
Low Risk
Low risk: this only updates an e2e test fixture to avoid deprecated arg templating and resulting warning output that breaks an exact help assertion.
Overview
Updates the
e2e/tasks/test_task_helpfixture to stop using deprecated Tera{{arg(...)}}templating for task args.The
ataskdefinition now declares args via theusagefield and references the parsed value ($usage_myarg) inrun, keepingmise run atask --helpoutput stable and preventing warning-prefixed output from failing the exact-match assertion.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit c7b259f.
