Command Line Tool

This plugin provides you an asyncrun.py script (in the bin folder) when you want to run tasks right in your shell:

To use it, copy the files from bin to /usr/local/bin or ~/bin, or simpily add bin folder to your $PATH in bashrc.

Then, in any child directories of your project, just type:

asynctask project-build

You don't have to jump back to your project root manually, because profile-build has a cwd=<root>.

Example: if you have a project-search task in your .tasks file:

[project-search]
command=rg -n --no-heading "$(?keyword)" "<root>" -tc -tcpp -tpy -tvim 
cwd=<root>
errorformat=%f:%l:%m

It will ask you input a keyword and then perform a project-wide search for you:

~/github/project1/src/core$ asynctask project-search  # press <ENTER>
Input argument (keyword): printf  # press <ENTER>
/home/skywind/github/project1/test/hello.cpp:5:  printf("Hello, World !!\n");
/home/skywind/github/project1/test/demo.cpp:7:  printf("Hello, Demo !!\n");

Again, you don't have to go back to the project top directory, the task will run project-wide.

More examples:

$ asynctask file-build hello.c              # provide a file name and run task
$ asynctask project-build ../project2       # provide a directory and run task
$ asynctask -profile=release project-build  # build with "release" profile

Interactive mode with fzf:

Bonus: use -i and -f with asynctask can allow interactive mode and you can select task with fzf.
