Description
Problem Statement
Currently, the excludes feature in Task only allows excluding individual tasks by their full names (e.g., "flight-recorder:start", "flight-recorder:dump"). This becomes cumbersome when you want to exclude all tasks within a specific namespace.
Current Behavior
version: "3"
includes:
common:
taskfile: ../common/Taskfile.yml
excludes:
- "flight-recorder:start"
- "flight-recorder:dump"
# Need to list each task individually
Desired Behavior
Allow excluding entire namespaces to simplify the configuration:
version: "3"
includes:
common:
taskfile: ../common/Taskfile.yml
excludes:
- "flight-recorder" # Excludes all tasks in flight-recorder namespace
Use Case
When including a large taskfile with multiple namespaces, it's common to want to exclude entire groups of related tasks rather than listing each one individually.
This is especially useful for:
- Excluding debugging/monitoring tools (like flight-recorder) from production services
- Excluding development-only tasks from deployment pipelines
- Excluding test suites that aren't relevant for certain contexts
Proposed Implementation
The excludes array could support both:
- Individual task names (current behavior): "namespace:task"
- Namespace patterns (new feature): "namespace" or "namespace:*"
Related
This builds upon the existing excludes feature introduced in #1859.
