MyCmd and MyProject Weekly Progress Report: 2025 Week 24

MyProject Demo

My demoable goals for this week were:

• Clean up the output mycmd myproject list-tasks – sorting tasks from main first and listing tasks by their namespaced parts strings instead of fully qualified names.
• Allow arguments at task registration time.
• Allow arguments at task execution time.

These are all shown in the following, which use tasks defined in this test project.

• task2 (defined here) takes execution-time arguments.
• task3 (defined here) takes registration-time arguments.

This Week’s MyProject Updates

I pushed 8 commits this week, including the following changes:

• Cleaning up the list-tasks output.
• Handling arguments in run.
• Adding global arrays and accessors for task argument related data.
• Updating project.register_task to handle arguments.

Next Week

My plans for next week include the following:

• updating the conventions and concepts document and design document to reflect the latest changes
• cleaning up the test suites. There’s a bit of redundancy in some things that I don’t need
• designing and implementing the support for filesets

Filesets are a concept from my original implementation. Essentially a fileset is a global array that has a list of a filenames. Tasks can be registered with filesets and they act on the files in that set. I think I want to make this new implementation a bit cleaner conceptually so I have some things to revisit first.
