babashka 0.3.7 Issues resolved: https://github.com/babashka/babashka/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#037 Task changes/improvements: https://github.com/babashka/babashka/issues/778

Most notable task changes: - Tasks now have :enter and :leave hook which can be set globally under :tasks and can be overridden per task - New current-task function which contains :name of the task and all of the other data of the task map from the bb.edn file - The above two things together can be used to log task names (at the start and/or end of a task) - New run function: (run 'my-task {:parallel true}) to invoke other tasks in serial, force parallel, do whatever you want.

I already kinda regret the run name, maybe I should have chosen run-task to not confuse it with run!?

Anyway, naming is hard.

Maybe a nice naming convention:

clean+dev (do (run 'clean)
              (run 'dev))

bb clean+dev

it's not too late to change it 🙂

Nothing is set in stone, esp with software 😉 You could accrete it, and notify deprecate the run name, then in a few releases, remove it completely.

Well, I chose it like this since the bb run subcommand is also called like this and this function accepts the same opts

But like with all names, I fret about those for weeks, change them, and sometimes and up reverting them to go back to the same name, so I take my regret with a grain of salt and I will listen to the feedback of users as well

Anyway, (shell "bb run --parallel ...") is now a thing of the past:

-dev {:depends [dev-cljs dev-less]}
         dev {:doc "Run app in dev mode, watch CLJS and LESS files for changes"
              :task (run '-dev {:parallel true})}

I think the run name is fine, there is the clojure run!, but in the babashka tasks context I think run makes sense

Thanks :)

Small demo of how you can use :enter and :leave to print task names while they progress: https://github.com/clj-kondo/clj-kondo.lsp/blob/e906d4fc64f070311644529430b035bf9cbb7a0d/bb.edn#L7-L12
