How to run the same task with different vars?

[Kludex]

Hi there 👋

I have the following Taskfile.yml:

version: "3"

tasks:
    run-server:
        cmds:
            - /venv/bin/uvicorn src.cases.{{.case}}.main:app

    load-test:
        desc: Load test the server, and output the results to a file.
        cmds:
            - mkdir -p reports/{{.case}}
            - /venv/bin/locust --headless --users 20 --spawn-rate 2 -H http://127.0.0.1:8000 -t 60s --csv reports/{{.case}}/report.csv --html reports/{{.case}}/report.html
            - kill $(lsof -t -i:8000)

    benchmark:
        deps:
            - task: run-server
              vars: { case: '{{.case | default "simple"}}' }
            - task: load-test
              vars: { case: '{{.case | default "simple"}}' }

    all:
        cmds:
            - task: benchmark
              vars: { case: "simple" }
            - task: benchmark
              vars: { case: "add_uvloop" }
            - task: benchmark
              vars: { case: "add_httptools" }
            - task: benchmark
              vars: { case: "uvloop_and_httptools" }

Is there a way, on the all task, to make it more cute? I will have to add many more to this list, and I was wondering if there's a better way to do it. 👀

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hi @Kludex,

I think you've done the right thing. Don't really have suggestions on how to improve that.

Other than syntax, maybe. Our styleguide suggests UPPER_CASE variable names instead of lower_case. We suggest 2-space indentation as well.

Also, if you prefer, you could indent like this (but that's personal opinion and there's no right answer):

all:
  cmds:
    - task: benchmark
      vars:
        CASE: simple
    - task: benchmark
      vars:
        CASE: add_uvloop
    - task: benchmark
      vars:
        CASE: add_httptools
    - task: benchmark
      vars:
        CASE: uvloop_and_httptools
