Execute a task in the directory where it's defined
Closed this issue · 0 comments
I'm currently migrating all my Justfiles to use Mise tasks now that tasks seem to be relatively stable – however, I'm running into one big difference in how tasks behave compared to Just. Whereas just tasks execute from the same directory as the justfile they're defined in, Mise executes all tasks from the root of the project where the mise.toml file is (as per the docs).
My project is a monorepo, and in each package I'm defining a tasks.toml file with grouped tasks for that package, then importing them all in the top-level mise.toml file. Unfortunately, to make this work I also need to specify the full relative path of the package via the dir option for every task in tasks.toml so I use relative file paths and executables in my task run field.
It'd be great if there could be a template variable similar to the existing {cwd}, but instead of using the working directory the user is currently calling the task from, it executes using the directory of the tasks.toml file.
Hope this all makes sense!
