An alias to "execute task-*" confuses task
Using task
2.6.0 (at commit 51a5a73c0, but also on the master
branch), the following command:
task rc.alias.attach='execute task-attach' attach …
really confuses task
, which seems to handle the task-*
prefix specially. According to strace
, the above results in the following call:
[pid 25304] execve("/bin/sh", ["sh", "-c", "- task - execute task - execute task - execute task - execute task - execute task - execute task - execute task - execute task - execute task - execute task - execute task - execute task - execute task - execute task - execute task - execute task - execute task - execute task - execute task - execute task - attach 33"], 0x7ffd7da8e000 /* 56 vars */) = 0
Using task_attach
works, as does anything-else
.
Note that using anything-doesnotexist
actually causes task
to attempt to evaluate the expression:
~/.bin% task rc.alias.test='execute task-nonexistent' test
[task next ( - nonexistent )]
Cannot subtract strings
Configuration override rc.alias.test:execute task-nonexistent
~/.bin% task rc.alias.test='execute foo-nonexistent' test
sh: 1: foo: not found
Configuration override rc.alias.test:execute foo-nonexistent
Good find, thanks.
Reproduced on 2.6.0.
