`needs` is missing from `main` namespace
Describe the bug
As a side-effect of 3c87437a4fee8ba40fbb8ffe878178b0a09eda9c via #1414, needs is no longer registered in the main namespace, which might break some of the expected behavior. Tasks that depends on another task from the Rexfile are failing with error messages similar to:
Can't locate object method "needs" via package "main" at /loader/0x55c93d31c3b8/__Rexfile__.pm line 16, <> line 1
Expected behavior
needs should be present in the main namespace to stay backwards compatible with the established behavior.
How to reproduce it
- create a task
twothat depends on another task in the Rexfile vianeeds main 'one'; - execute
twowithrex two
Code example
use Rex -feature => [ '1.4' ];
task 'one', sub {
say 'hello from one';
};
task 'two', sub {
needs main 'one';
say 'hello from two';
};
Additional context
Discovered while investigating #1543, so the code example is also taken from there, but fixed to show only this bug.
