@ -495,863 +495,6 @@ stabilize the API in the future. #121 now tracks this piece of work.
## v3.32.0 - 2023-11-29
- Added ability to exclude some files from `sources:` by using `exclude:` (#225,
#1324 by @pd93 and @andreynering).
- The
[Remote Taskfiles experiment](https://taskfile.dev/experiments/remote-taskfiles)
now prefers remote files over cached ones by default (#1317, #1345 by @pd93).
- Added `--timeout` flag to the
[Remote Taskfiles experiment](https://taskfile.dev/experiments/remote-taskfiles)
(#1317, #1345 by @pd93).
- Fix bug where dynamic `vars:` and `env:` were being executed when they should
actually be skipped by `platforms:` (#1273, #1377 by @andreynering).
- Fix `schema.json` to make `silent` valid in `cmds` that use `for` (#1385,
#1386 by @iainvm).
- Add new `--no-status` flag to skip expensive status checks when running
`task --list --json` (#1348, #1368 by @amancevice).
## v3.31.0 - 2023-10-07
- Enabled the `--yes` flag for the
[Remote Taskfiles experiment](https://taskfile.dev/experiments/remote-taskfiles)
(#1317, #1344 by @pd93).
- Add ability to set `watch: true` in a task to automatically run it in watch
mode (#231, #1361 by @andreynering).
- Fixed a bug on the watch mode where paths that contained `.git` (like
`.github`), for example, were also being ignored (#1356 by @butuzov).
- Fixed a nil pointer error when running a Taskfile with no contents (#1341,
#1342 by @pd93).
- Added a new [exit code](https://taskfile.dev/api/#exit-codes) (107) for when a
Taskfile does not contain a schema version (#1342 by @pd93).
- Increased limit of maximum task calls from 100 to 1000 for now, as some people
have been reaching this limit organically now that we have loops. This check
exists to detect recursive calls, but will be removed in favor of a better
algorithm soon (#1321, #1332).
- Fixed templating on descriptions on `task --list` (#1343 by @blackjid).
- Fixed a bug where precondition errors were incorrectly being printed when task
execution was aborted (#1337, #1338 by @sylv-io).
## v3.30.1 - 2023-09-14
- Fixed a regression where some special variables weren't being set correctly
(#1331, #1334 by @pd93).
## v3.30.0 - 2023-09-13
- Prep work for Remote Taskfiles (#1316 by @pd93).
- Added the
[Remote Taskfiles experiment](https://taskfile.dev/experiments/remote-taskfiles)
as a draft (#1152, #1317 by @pd93).
- Improve performance of content checksumming on `sources:` by replacing md5
with [XXH3](https://xxhash.com/) which is much faster. This is a soft breaking
change because checksums will be invalidated when upgrading to this release
(#1325 by @ReillyBrogan).
## v3.29.1 - 2023-08-26
- Update to Go 1.21 (bump minimum version to 1.20) (#1302 by @pd93)
- Fix a missing a line break on log when using `--watch` mode (#1285, #1297 by
@FilipSolich).
- Fix `defer` on JSON Schema (#1288 by @calvinmclean and @andreynering).
- Fix bug in usage of special variables like
<span v-pre>`{{.USER_WORKING_DIR}}`</span> in combination with `includes`
(#1046, #1205, #1250, #1293, #1312, #1274 by @andarto, #1309 by
@andreynering).
- Fix bug on `--status` flag. Running this flag should not have side-effects: it
should not update the checksum on `.task`, only report its status (#1305,
#1307 by @visciang, #1313 by @andreynering).
## v3.28.0 - 2023-07-24
- Added the ability to
[loop over commands and tasks](https://taskfile.dev/usage/#looping-over-values)
using `for` (#82, #1220 by @pd93).
- Fixed variable propagation in multi-level includes (#778, #996, #1256 by
@hudclark).
- Fixed a bug where the `--exit-code` code flag was not returning the correct
exit code when calling commands indirectly (#1266, #1270 by @pd93).
- Fixed a `nil` panic when a dependency was commented out or left empty (#1263
by @neomantra).
## v3.27.1 - 2023-06-30
- Fix panic when a `.env` directory (not file) is present on current directory
(#1244, #1245 by @pd93).
## v3.27.0 - 2023-06-29
- Allow Taskfiles starting with lowercase characters (#947, #1221 by @pd93).
- e.g. `taskfile.yml`, `taskfile.yaml`, `taskfile.dist.yml` &
`taskfile.dist.yaml`
- Bug fixes were made to the
[npm installation method](https://taskfile.dev/installation/#npm). (#1190, by
@sounisi5011).
- Added the
[gentle force experiment](https://taskfile.dev/experiments/gentle-force) as a
draft (#1200, #1216 by @pd93).
- Added an `--experiments` flag to allow you to see which experiments are
enabled (#1242 by @pd93).
- Added ability to specify which variables are required in a task (#1203, #1204
by @benc-uk).
## v3.26.0 - 2023-06-10
- Only rewrite checksum files in `.task` if the checksum has changed (#1185,
#1194 by @deviantintegral).
- Added [experiments documentation](https://taskfile.dev/experiments) to the
website (#1198 by @pd93).
- Deprecated `version: 2` schema. This will be removed in the next major release
(#1197, #1198, #1199 by @pd93).
- Added a new `prompt:` prop to set a warning prompt to be shown before running
a potential dangerous task (#100, #1163 by @MaxCheetham,
[Documentation](https://taskfile.dev/usage/#warning-prompts)).
- Added support for single command task syntax. With this change, it's now
possible to declare just `cmd:` in a task, avoiding the more complex
`cmds: []` when you have only a single command for that task (#1130, #1131 by
@timdp).
## v3.25.0 - 2023-05-22
- Support `silent:` when calling another tasks (#680, #1142 by @danquah).
- Improve PowerShell completion script (#1168 by @trim21).
- Add more languages to the website menu and show translation progress
percentage (#1173 by @misitebao).
- Starting on this release, official binaries for FreeBSD will be available to
download (#1068 by @andreynering).
- Fix some errors being unintendedly suppressed (#1134 by @clintmod).
- Fix a nil pointer error when `version` is omitted from a Taskfile (#1148,
#1149 by @pd93).
- Fix duplicate error message when a task does not exists (#1141, #1144 by
@pd93).
## v3.24.0 - 2023-04-15
- Fix Fish shell completion for tasks with aliases (#1113 by @patricksjackson).
- The default branch was renamed from `master` to `main` (#1049, #1048 by
@pd93).
- Fix bug where "up-to-date" logs were not being omitted for silent tasks (#546,
#1107 by @danquah).
- Add `.hg` (Mercurial) to the list of ignored directories when using `--watch`
(#1098 by @misery).
- More improvements to the release tool (#1096 by @pd93).
- Enforce [gofumpt](https://github.com/mvdan/gofumpt) linter (#1099 by @pd93)
- Add `--sort` flag for use with `--list` and `--list-all` (#946, #1105 by
@pd93).
- Task now has [custom exit codes](https://taskfile.dev/api/#exit-codes)
depending on the error (#1114 by @pd93).
## v3.23.0 - 2023-03-26
Task now has an
[official extension for Visual Studio Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=task.vscode-task)
contributed by @pd93! :tada: The extension is maintained in a
[new repository](https://github.com/go-task/vscode-task) under the `go-task`
organization. We're looking to gather feedback from the community so please give
it a go and let us know what you think via a
[discussion](https://github.com/go-task/vscode-task/discussions),
[issue](https://github.com/go-task/vscode-task/issues) or on our
[Discord](https://discord.gg/6TY36E39UK)!
> **NOTE:** The extension _requires_ v3.23.0 to be installed in order to work.
- The website was integrated with
[Crowdin](https://crowdin.com/project/taskfile) to allow the community to
contribute with translations! [Chinese](https://taskfile.dev/zh-Hans/) is the
first language available (#1057, #1058 by @misitebao).
- Added task location data to the `--json` flag output (#1056 by @pd93)
- Change the name of the file generated by `task --init` from `Taskfile.yaml` to
`Taskfile.yml` (#1062 by @misitebao).
- Added new `splitArgs` template function
(<span v-pre>`{{splitArgs "foo bar 'foo bar baz'"}}`</span>) to ensure string
is split as arguments (#1040, #1059 by @dhanusaputra).
- Fix the value of <span v-pre>`{{.CHECKSUM}}`</span> variable in status (#1076,
#1080 by @pd93).
- Fixed deep copy implementation (#1072 by @pd93)
- Created a tool to assist with releases (#1086 by @pd93).
## v3.22.0 - 2023-03-10
- Add a brand new `--global` (`-g`) flag that will run a Taskfile from your
`$HOME` directory. This is useful to have automation that you can run from
anywhere in your system!
([Documentation](https://taskfile.dev/usage/#running-a-global-taskfile), #1029
by @andreynering).
- Add ability to set `error_only: true` on the `group` output mode. This will
instruct Task to only print a command output if it returned with a non-zero
exit code (#664, #1022 by @jaedle).
- Fixed bug where `.task/checksum` file was sometimes not being created when
task also declares a `status:` (#840, #1035 by @harelwa, #1037 by @pd93).
- Refactored and decoupled fingerprinting from the main Task executor (#1039 by
@pd93).
- Fixed deadlock issue when using `run: once` (#715, #1025 by
@theunrepentantgeek).
## v3.21.0 - 2023-02-22
- Added new `TASK_VERSION` special variable (#990, #1014 by @ja1code).
- Fixed a bug where tasks were sometimes incorrectly marked as internal (#1007
by @pd93).
- Update to Go 1.20 (bump minimum version to 1.19) (#1010 by @pd93)
- Added environment variable `FORCE_COLOR` support to force color output. Useful
for environments without TTY (#1003 by @automation-stack)
## v3.20.0 - 2023-01-14
- Improve behavior and performance of status checking when using the `timestamp`
mode (#976, #977 by @aminya).
- Performance optimizations were made for large Taskfiles (#982 by @pd93).
- Add ability to configure options for the
[`set`](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/The-Set-Builtin.html)
and
[`shopt`](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/The-Shopt-Builtin.html)
builtins (#908, #929 by @pd93,
[Documentation](http://taskfile.dev/usage/#set-and-shopt)).
- Add new `platforms:` attribute to `task` and `cmd`, so it's now possible to
choose in which platforms that given task or command will be run on. Possible
values are operating system (GOOS), architecture (GOARCH) or a combination of
the two. Example: `platforms: [linux]`, `platforms: [amd64]` or
`platforms: [linux/amd64]`. Other platforms will be skipped (#978, #980 by
@leaanthony).
## v3.19.1 - 2022-12-31
- Small bug fix: closing `Taskfile.yml` once we're done reading it (#963, #964
by @HeCorr).
- Fixes a bug in v2 that caused a panic when using a
<span v-pre>`Taskfile_{{OS}}.yml`</span> file (#961, #971 by @pd93).
- Fixed a bug where watch intervals set in the Taskfile were not being respected
(#969, #970 by @pd93)
- Add `--json` flag (alias `-j`) with the intent to improve support for code
editors and add room to other possible integrations. This is basic for now,
but we plan to add more info in the near future (#936 by @davidalpert, #764).
## v3.19.0 - 2022-12-05
- Installation via npm now supports [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/) as well
([go-task/go-npm#2](https://github.com/go-task/go-npm/issues/2),
[go-task/go-npm#3](https://github.com/go-task/go-npm/pull/3)).
- It's now possible to run Taskfiles from subdirectories! A new
`USER_WORKING_DIR` special variable was added to add even more flexibility for
monorepos (#289, #920).
- Add task-level `dotenv` support (#389, #904).
- It's now possible to use global level variables on `includes` (#942, #943).
- The website got a brand new
[translation to Chinese](https://task-zh.readthedocs.io/zh_CN/latest/) by
@DeronW. Thanks!
## v3.18.0 - 2022-11-12
- Show aliases on `task --list --silent` (`task --ls`). This means that aliases
will be completed by the completion scripts (#919).
- Tasks in the root Taskfile will now be displayed first in
`--list`/`--list-all` output (#806, #890).
- It's now possible to call a `default` task in an included Taskfile by using
just the namespace. For example: `docs:default` is now automatically aliased
to `docs` (#661, #815).
## v3.17.0 - 2022-10-14
- Add a "Did you mean ...?" suggestion when a task does not exits another one
with a similar name is found (#867, #880).
- Now YAML parse errors will print which Taskfile failed to parse (#885, #887).
- Add ability to set `aliases` for tasks and namespaces (#268, #340, #879).
- Improvements to Fish shell completion (#897).
- Added ability to set a different watch interval by setting `interval: '500ms'`
or using the `--interval=500ms` flag (#813, #865).
- Add colored output to `--list`, `--list-all` and `--summary` flags (#845,
#874).
- Fix unexpected behavior where `label:` was being shown instead of the task
name on `--list` (#603, #877).
## v3.16.0 - 2022-09-29
- Add `npm` as new installation method: `npm i -g @go-task/cli` (#870, #871,
[npm package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@go-task/cli)).
- Add support to marking tasks and includes as internal, which will hide them
from `--list` and `--list-all` (#818).
## v3.15.2 - 2022-09-08
- Fix error when using variable in `env:` introduced in the previous release
(#858, #866).
- Fix handling of `CLI_ARGS` (`--`) in Bash completion (#863).
- On zsh completion, add ability to replace `--list-all` with `--list` as
already possible on the Bash completion (#861).
## v3.15.0 - 2022-09-03
- Add new special variables `ROOT_DIR` and `TASKFILE_DIR`. This was a highly
requested feature (#215, #857,
[Documentation](https://taskfile.dev/api/#special-variables)).
- Follow symlinks on `sources` (#826, #831).
- Improvements and fixes to Bash completion (#835, #844).
## v3.14.1 - 2022-08-03
- Always resolve relative include paths relative to the including Taskfile
(#822, #823).
- Fix ZSH and PowerShell completions to consider all tasks instead of just the
public ones (those with descriptions) (#803).
## v3.14.0 - 2022-07-08
- Add ability to override the `.task` directory location with the
`TASK_TEMP_DIR` environment variable.
- Allow to override Task colors using environment variables: `TASK_COLOR_RESET`,
`TASK_COLOR_BLUE`, `TASK_COLOR_GREEN`, `TASK_COLOR_CYAN`, `TASK_COLOR_YELLOW`,
`TASK_COLOR_MAGENTA` and `TASK_COLOR_RED` (#568, #792).
- Fixed bug when using the `output: group` mode where STDOUT and STDERR were
being print in separated blocks instead of in the right order (#779).
- Starting on this release, ARM architecture binaries are been released to Snap
as well (#795).
- i386 binaries won't be available anymore on Snap because Ubuntu removed the
support for this architecture.
- Upgrade mvdan.cc/sh, which fixes a bug with associative arrays (#785,
[mvdan/sh#884](https://github.com/mvdan/sh/issues/884),
[mvdan/sh#893](https://github.com/mvdan/sh/pull/893)).
## v3.13.0 - 2022-06-13
- Added `-n` as an alias to `--dry` (#776, #777).
- Fix behavior of interrupt (SIGINT, SIGTERM) signals. Task will now give time
for the processes running to do cleanup work (#458, #479, #728, #769).
- Add new `--exit-code` (`-x`) flag that will pass-through the exit form the
command being ran (#755).
## v3.12.1 - 2022-05-10
- Fixed bug where, on Windows, variables were ending with `\r` because we were
only removing the final `\n` but not `\r\n` (#717).
## v3.12.0 - 2022-03-31
- The `--list` and `--list-all` flags can now be combined with the `--silent`
flag to print the task names only, without their description (#691).
- Added support for multi-level inclusion of Taskfiles. This means that included
Taskfiles can also include other Taskfiles. Before this was limited to one
level (#390, #623, #656).
- Add ability to specify vars when including a Taskfile.
[Check out the documentation](https://taskfile.dev/#/usage?id=vars-of-included-taskfiles)
for more information (#677).
## v3.11.0 - 2022-02-19
- Task now supports printing begin and end messages when using the `group`
output mode, useful for grouping tasks in CI systems.
[Check out the documentation](http://taskfile.dev/#/usage?id=output-syntax)
for more information (#647, #651).
- Add `Taskfile.dist.yml` and `Taskfile.dist.yaml` to the supported file name
list.
[Check out the documentation](https://taskfile.dev/#/usage?id=supported-file-names)
for more information (#498, #666).
## v3.10.0 - 2022-01-04
- A new `--list-all` (alias `-a`) flag is now available. It's similar to the
exiting `--list` (`-l`) but prints all tasks, even those without a description
(#383, #401).
- It's now possible to schedule cleanup commands to run once a task finishes
with the `defer:` keyword
([Documentation](https://taskfile.dev/#/usage?id=doing-task-cleanup-with-defer),
#475, #626).
- Remove long deprecated and undocumented `--- title: Changelog description:
Historique complet des versions et changements de Task, de la v3.44.1 jusqu'à
la v1.0.0 permalink: /changelog/ outline: deep
---
# Changelog
## v3.44.1 - 2025-07-23
- Internal tasks will no longer be shown as suggestions since they cannot be
called (#2309, #2323 by @maxmzkrcensys)
- Fixed install script for some ARM platforms (#1516, #2291 by @trulede).
- Fixed a regression where fingerprinting was not working correctly if the path
to you Taskfile contained a space (#2321, #2322 by @pd93).
- Reverted a breaking change to `randInt` (#2312, #2316 by @pd93).
- Made new variables `TEST_NAME` and `TEST_DIR` available in fixture tests
(#2265 by @pd93).
## v3.44.0 - 2025-06-08
- Added `uuid`, `randInt` and `randIntN` template functions (#1346, #2225 by
@pd93).
- Added new `CLI_ARGS_LIST` array variable which contains the arguments passed
to Task after the `--` (the same as `CLI_ARGS`, but an array instead of a
string). (#2138, #2139, #2140 by @pd93).
- Added `toYaml` and `fromYaml` templating functions (#2217, #2219 by @pd93).
- Added `task` field the `--list --json` output (#2256 by @aleksandersh).
- Added the ability to
[pin included taskfiles](https://taskfile.dev/next/experiments/remote-taskfiles/#manual-checksum-pinning)
by specifying a checksum. This works with both local and remote Taskfiles
(#2222, #2223 by @pd93).
- When using the
[Remote Taskfiles experiment](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/1317),
any credentials used in the URL will now be redacted in Task's output (#2100,
#2220 by @pd93).
- Fixed fuzzy suggestions not working when misspelling a task name (#2192, #2200
by @vmaerten).
- Fixed a bug where taskfiles in directories containing spaces created
directories in the wrong location (#2208, #2216 by @pd93).
- Added support for dual JSON schema files, allowing changes without affecting
the current schema. The current schemas will only be updated during releases.
(#2211 by @vmaerten).
- Improved fingerprint documentation by specifying that the method can be set at
the root level to apply to all tasks (#2233 by @vmaerten).
- Fixed some watcher regressions after #2048 (#2199, #2202, #2241, #2196 by
@wazazaby, #2271 by @andreynering).
## v3.43.3 - 2025-04-27
Reverted the changes made in #2113 and #2186 that affected the
`USER_WORKING_DIR` and built-in variables. This fixes #2206, #2195, #2207 and
#2208.
## v3.43.2 - 2025-04-21
- Fixed regresion of `CLI_ARGS` being exposed as the wrong type (#2190, #2191 by
@vmaerten).
## v3.43.1 - 2025-04-21
- Significant improvements were made to the watcher. We migrated from
[watcher](https://github.com/radovskyb/watcher) to
[fsnotify](https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify). The former library used
polling, which means Task had a high CPU usage when watching too many files.
`fsnotify` uses proper the APIs from each operating system to watch files,
which means a much better performance. The default interval changed from 5
seconds to 100 milliseconds, because now it configures the wait time for
duplicated events, instead of the polling time (#2048 by @andreynering, #1508,
#985, #1179).
- The [Map Variables experiment](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/1585)
was made generally available so you can now
[define map variables in your Taskfiles!](https://taskfile.dev/usage/#variables)
(#1585, #1547, #2081 by @pd93).
- Wildcards can now
[match multiple tasks](https://taskfile.dev/usage/#wildcard-arguments) (#2072,
#2121 by @pd93).
- Added the ability to
[loop over the files specified by the `generates` keyword](https://taskfile.dev/usage/#looping-over-your-tasks-sources-or-generated-files).
This works the same way as looping over sources (#2151 by @sedyh).
- Added the ability to resolve variables when defining an include variable
(#2108, #2113 by @pd93).
- A few changes have been made to the
[Remote Taskfiles experiment](https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/1317)
(#1402, #2176 by @pd93):
- Cached files are now prioritized over remote ones.
- Added an `--expiry` flag which sets the TTL for a remote file cache. By
default the value will be 0 (caching disabled). If Task is running in
offline mode or fails to make a connection, it will fallback on the cache.
- `.taskrc` files can now be used from subdirectories and will be searched for
recursively up the file tree in the same way that Taskfiles are (#2159, #2166
by @pd93).
- The default taskfile (output when using the `--init` flag) is now an embedded
file in the binary instead of being stored in the code (#2112 by @pd93).
- Improved the way we report the Task version when using the `--version` flag or
<span v-pre>`{{.TASK_VERSION}}`</span> variable. This should now be more
consistent and easier for package maintainers to use (#2131 by @pd93).
- Fixed a bug where globstar (`**`) matching in `sources` only resolved the
first result (#2073, #2075 by @pd93).
- Fixed a bug where sorting tasks by "none" would use the default sorting
instead of leaving tasks in the order they were defined (#2124, #2125 by
@trulede).
- Fixed Fish completion on newer Fish versions (#2130 by @atusy).
- Fixed a bug where undefined/null variables resolved to an empty string instead
of `nil` (#1911, #2144 by @pd93).
- The `USER_WORKING_DIR` special now will now properly account for the `--dir`
(`-d`) flag, if given (#2102, #2103 by @jaynis, #2186 by @andreynering).
- Fix Fish completions when `--global` (`-g`) is given (#2134 by @atusy).
- Fixed variables not available when using `defer:` (#1909, #2173 by @vmaerten).
### Package API
- The [`Executor`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-task/task/v3#Executor) now
uses the functional options pattern (#2085, #2147, #2148 by @pd93).
- The functional options for the
[`taskfile.Reader`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-task/task/v3/taskfile#Reader)
and
[`taskfile.Snippet`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-task/task/v3/taskfile#Snippet)
types no longer have the `Reader`/`Snippet` respective prefixes (#2148 by
@pd93).
- [`taskfile.Reader`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-task/task/v3/taskfile#Reader)
no longer accepts a
[`taskfile.Node`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-task/task/v3/taskfile#Node).
Instead nodes are passed directly into the
[`Reader.Read`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-task/task/v3/taskfile#Reader.Read)
method (#2169 by @pd93).
- [`Reader.Read`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-task/task/v3/taskfile#Reader.Read)
also now accepts a [`context.Context`](https://pkg.go.dev/context#Context)
(#2176 by @pd93).

`cmds` syntax were not considered valid (#2068 by @pd93).
- Refactored how task sorting functions work (#1798 by @pd93).
- Added a new `.taskrc.yml` (or `.taskrc.yaml`) file to let users enable
experiments (similar to `.env`) (#1982 by @vmaerten).
- Added new [Getting Started docs](https://taskfile.dev/getting-started) (#2086
by @pd93).

used, all other variables become unavailable in the templating system within
the include (#2092 by @vmaerten).
### Package API
Unlike our CLI tool,
[Task's package API is not currently stable](https://taskfile.dev/reference/package).
In an effort to ease the pain of breaking changes for our users, we will be
providing changelogs for our package API going forwards. The hope is that these
changes will provide a better long-term experience for our users and allow to
stabilize the API in the future. #121 now tracks this piece of work.

by @pd93).
- Users are now expected to pass a custom debug/prompt functions into
