`rust-just` is a handy way to save and run project-specific commands.
|
|
30
24
|
|
|
31
25
|
Commands, called recipes, are stored in a file called `justfile` with syntax
|
|
32
|
-
inspired by `make
|
|
33
|
-
|
|
34
|
-
|
|
35
|
-
|
|
36
|
-
You can then run them with `just RECIPE`:
|
|
37
|
-
|
|
38
|
-
```console
|
|
39
|
-
$ just test-all
|
|
40
|
-
cc *.c -o main
|
|
41
|
-
./test --all
|
|
42
|
-
Yay, all your tests passed!
|
|
43
|
-
```
|
|
44
|
-
|
|
45
|
-
`just` has a ton of useful features, and many improvements over `make`:
|
|
46
|
-
|
|
47
|
-
- `just` is a command runner, not a build system, so it avoids much of
|
|
48
|
-
[`make`'s complexity and idiosyncrasies](#what-are-the-idiosyncrasies-of-make-that-just-avoids).
|
|
49
|
-
No need for `.PHONY` recipes!
|
|
50
|
-
|
|
51
|
-
- Linux, MacOS, and Windows are supported with no additional dependencies.
|
|
52
|
-
(Although if your system doesn't have an `sh`, you'll need to
|
|
53
|
-
[choose a different shell](#shell).)
|
|
54
|
-
|
|
55
|
-
- Errors are specific and informative, and syntax errors are reported along
|
|
56
|
-
with their source context.
|
|
57
|
-
|
|
58
|
-
- Recipes can accept [command line arguments](#recipe-parameters).
|
|
59
|
-
|
|
60
|
-
- Wherever possible, errors are resolved statically. Unknown recipes and
|
|
61
|
-
circular dependencies are reported before anything runs.
|
|
62
|
-
|
|
63
|
-
- `just` [loads `.env` files](#dotenv-settings), making it easy to populate
|
|
64
|
-
environment variables.
|
|
65
|
-
|
|
66
|
-
- Recipes can be [listed from the command line](#listing-available-recipes).
|
|
67
|
-
|
|
68
|
-
- Command line completion scripts are
|
|
69
|
-
[available for most popular shells](#shell-completion-scripts).
|
|
70
|
-
|
|
71
|
-
- Recipes can be written in
|
|
72
|
-
[arbitrary languages](#shebang-recipes), like Python or NodeJS.
|
|
73
|
-
|
|
74
|
-
- `just` can be invoked from any subdirectory, not just the directory that
|
|
75
|
-
contains the `justfile`.
|
|
76
|
-
|
|
77
|
-
- And [much more](https://just.systems/man/en/)!

Installation
|
|
84
|
-
------------
|
|
85
|
-
|
|
86
|
-
### Prerequisites
|
|
87
|
-
|
|
88
|
-
`just` should run on any system with a reasonable `sh`, including Linux, MacOS,
|
|
89
|
-
and the BSDs.
|
|
90
|
-
|
|
91
|
-
On Windows, `just` works with the `sh` provided by
|
|
92
|
-
[Git for Windows](https://git-scm.com),
|
|
93
|
-
[GitHub Desktop](https://desktop.github.com), or
|
|
94
|
-
[Cygwin](http://www.cygwin.com).
|
|
95
|
-
|
|
96
|
-
If you'd rather not install `sh`, you can use the `shell` setting to use the
|
|
97
|
-
shell of your choice.
|
|
98
|
-
|
|
99
|
-
Like PowerShell:
|
|
100
|
-
|
|
101
|
-
```just
|
|
102
|
-
# use PowerShell instead of sh:
|
|
103
|
-
set shell := ["powershell.exe", "-c"]
|
|
104
|
-
|
|
105
|
-
hello:
|
|
106
|
-
Write-Host "Hello, world!"
|
|
107
|
-
```
|
|
108
|
-
|
|
109
|
-
…or `cmd.exe`:
|
|
110
|
-
|
|
111
|
-
```just
|
|
112
|
-
# use cmd.exe instead of sh:
|
|
113
|
-
set shell := ["cmd.exe", "/c"]
|
|
114
|
-
|
|
115
|
-
list:
|
|
116
|
-
dir
|
|
117
|
-
```
|
|
118
|
-
|
|
119
|
-
You can also set the shell using command-line arguments. For example, to use
|
|
120
|
-
PowerShell, launch `just` with `--shell powershell.exe --shell-arg -c`.
|
|
121
|
-
|
|
122
|
-
(PowerShell is installed by default on Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2
|
|
123
|
-
S1 and later, and `cmd.exe` is quite fiddly, so PowerShell is recommended for
|
|
124
|
-
most Windows users.)

### Pre-Built Binaries
|
|
348
|
-
|
|
349
|
-
Pre-built binaries for Linux, MacOS, and Windows can be found on
|
|
350
|
-
[the releases page](https://github.com/casey/just/releases).
|
|
351
|
-
|
|
352
|
-
You can use the following command on Linux, MacOS, or Windows to download the
|
|
353
|
-
latest release, just replace `DEST` with the directory where you'd like to put
|
|
354
|
-
`just`:
|
|
355
|
-
|
|
356
|
-
```console
|
|
357
|
-
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://just.systems/install.sh | bash -s -- --to DEST
|
|
358
|
-
```
|
|
359
|
-
|
|
360
|
-
For example, to install `just` to `~/bin`:
|
|
361
|
-
|
|
362
|
-
```console
|
|
363
|
-
# create ~/bin
|
|
364
|
-
mkdir -p ~/bin
|
|
365
|
-
|
|
366
|
-
# download and extract just to ~/bin/just
|
|
367
|
-
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://just.systems/install.sh | bash -s -- --to ~/bin
|
|
368
|
-
|
|
369
|
-
# add `~/bin` to the paths that your shell searches for executables
|
|
370
|
-
# this line should be added to your shells initialization file,
|
|
371
|
-
# e.g. `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc`
|
|
372
|
-
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/bin"
|
|
373
|
-
|
|
374
|
-
# just should now be executable
|
|
375
|
-
just --help
|
|
376
|
-
```
|
|
377
|
-
|
|
378
|
-
Note that `install.sh` may fail on GitHub Actions, or in other environments
|
|
379
|
-
where many machines share IP addresses. `install.sh` calls GitHub APIs in order
|
|
380
|
-
to determine the latest version of `just` to install, and those API calls are
|
|
381
|
-
rate-limited on a per-IP basis. To make `install.sh` more reliable in such
|
|
382
|
-
circumstances, pass a specific tag to install with `--tag`.
|
|
383
|
-
|
|
384
|
-
### GitHub Actions
|
|
385
|
-
|
|
386
|
-
`just` can be installed on GitHub Actions in a few ways.
|
|
387
|
-
|
|
388
|
-
Using package managers pre-installed on GitHub Actions runners on MacOS with
|
|
389
|
-
`brew install just`, and on Windows with `choco install just`.
|
|
390
|
-
|
|
391
|
-
With [extractions/setup-just](https://github.com/extractions/setup-just):
|
|
392
|
-
|
|
393
|
-
```yaml
|
|
394
|
-
- uses: extractions/setup-just@v1
|
|
395
|
-
with:
|
|
396
|
-
just-version: 1.5.0 # optional semver specification, otherwise latest
|
|
397
|
-
```
|
|
398
|
-
|
|
399
|
-
Or with [taiki-e/install-action](https://github.com/taiki-e/install-action):
|
|
400
|
-
|
|
401
|
-
```yaml
|
|
402
|
-
- uses: taiki-e/install-action@just
|
|
403
|
-
```
|
|
404
|
-
|
|
405
|
-
### Release RSS Feed
|
|
406
|
-
|
|
407
|
-
An [RSS feed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS) of `just` releases is available [here](https://github.com/casey/just/releases.atom).
|
|
408
|
-
|
|
409
|
-
### Node.js Installation
|
|
410
|
-
|
|
411
|
-
[just-install](https://npmjs.com/package/just-install) can be used to automate
|
|
412
|
-
installation of `just` in Node.js applications.
|
|
413
|
-
|
|
414
|
-
`just` is a great, more robust alternative to npm scripts. If you want to
|
|
415
|
-
include `just` in the dependencies of a Node.js application, `just-install`
|
|
416
|
-
will install a local, platform-specific binary as part of the `npm install`
|
|
417
|
-
command. This removes the need for every developer to install `just`
|
|
418
|
-
independently using one of the processes mentioned above. After installation,
|
|
419
|
-
the `just` command will work in npm scripts or with npx. It's great for teams
|
|
420
|
-
who want to make the set up process for their project as easy as possible.
|
|
421
|
-
|
|
422
|
-
For more information, see the
|
|
423
|

[just-install README file](https://github.com/brombal/just-install#readme).

Backwards Compatibility
|
|
426
|
-
-----------------------
|
|
427
|
-
|
|
428
|
-
With the release of version 1.0, `just` features a strong commitment to
|
|
429
|
-
backwards compatibility and stability.
|
|
430
|
-
|
|
431
|
-
Future releases will not introduce backwards incompatible changes that make
|
|
432
|
-
existing `justfile`s stop working, or break working invocations of the
|
|
433
|
-
command-line interface.
|
|
434
|
-
|
|
435
|
-
This does not, however, preclude fixing outright bugs, even if doing so might
|
|
436
|
-
break `justfiles` that rely on their behavior.
|
|
437
|
-
|
|
438
|
-
There will never be a `just` 2.0. Any desirable backwards-incompatible changes
|
|
439
|
-
will be opt-in on a per-`justfile` basis, so users may migrate at their
|
|
440
|
-
leisure.
|
|
441
|
-
|
|
442
|
-
Features that aren't yet ready for stabilization are marked as unstable and may
|
|
443
|
-
be changed or removed at any time. Using unstable features produces an error by
|
|
444
|
-
default, which can be suppressed with by passing the `--unstable` flag,
|
|
445
|
-
`set unstable`, or setting the environment variable `JUST_UNSTABLE`, to any
|
|
446
|
-
value other than `false`, `0`, or the empty string.

Editor Support
|
|
449
|
-
--------------
|
|
450
|
-
|
|
451
|
-
`justfile` syntax is close enough to `make` that you may want to tell your
|
|
452
|
-
editor to use `make` syntax highlighting for `just`.
|
|
453
|
-
|
|
454
|
-
### Vim and Neovim
|
|
455
|
-
|
|
456
|
-
#### `vim-just`
|
|
457
|
-
|
|
458
|
-
The [vim-just](https://github.com/NoahTheDuke/vim-just) plugin provides syntax
|
|
459
|
-
highlighting for `justfile`s.
|
|
460
|
-
|
|
461
|
-
Install it with your favorite package manager, like
|
|
462
|
-
[Plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug):
|
|
463
|
-
|
|
464
|
-
```vim
|
|
465
|
-
call plug#begin()
|
|
466
|
-
|
|
467
|
-
Plug 'NoahTheDuke/vim-just'
|
|
468
|
-
|
|
469
|
-
call plug#end()
|
|
470
|
-
```
|
|
471
|
-
|
|
472
|
-
Or with Vim's built-in package support:
|
|
473
|
-
|
|
474
|
-
```console
|
|
475
|
-
mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/vendor/start
|
|
476
|
-
cd ~/.vim/pack/vendor/start
|
|
477
|
-
git clone https://github.com/NoahTheDuke/vim-just.git
|
|
478
|
-
```
|
|
479
|
-
|
|
480
|
-
#### `tree-sitter-just`
|
|
481
|
-
|
|
482
|
-
[tree-sitter-just](https://github.com/IndianBoy42/tree-sitter-just) is an
|
|
483
|
-
[Nvim Treesitter](https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter) plugin
|
|
484
|
-
for Neovim.
|
|
485
|
-
|
|
486
|
-
#### Makefile Syntax Highlighting
|
|
487
|
-
|
|
488
|
-
Vim's built-in makefile syntax highlighting isn't perfect for `justfile`s, but
|
|
489
|
-
it's better than nothing. You can put the following in `~/.vim/filetype.vim`:
|
|
490
|
-
|
|
491
|
-
```vimscript
|
|
492
|
-
if exists("did_load_filetypes")
|
|
493
|
-
finish
|
|
494
|
-
endif
|
|
495
|
-
|
|
496
|
-
augroup filetypedetect
|
|
497
|
-
au BufNewFile,BufRead justfile setf make
|
|
498
|
-
augroup END
|
|
499
|
-
```
|
|
500
|
-
|
|
501
|
-
Or add the following to an individual `justfile` to enable `make` mode on a
|
|
502
|
-
per-file basis:
|
|
503
|
-
|
|
504
|
-
```text
|
|
505
|
-
# vim: set ft=make :
|
|
506
|
-
```
|
|
507
|
-
|
|
508
|
-
### Emacs
|
|
509
|
-
|
|
510
|
-
[just-mode](https://github.com/leon-barrett/just-mode.el) provides syntax
|
|
511
|
-
highlighting and automatic indentation of `justfile`s. It is available on
|
|
512
|
-
[MELPA](https://melpa.org/) as [just-mode](https://melpa.org/#/just-mode).
|
|
513
|
-
|
|
514
|
-
[justl](https://github.com/psibi/justl.el) provides commands for executing and
|
|
515
|
-
listing recipes.
|
|
516
|
-
|
|
517
|
-
You can add the following to an individual `justfile` to enable `make` mode on
|
|
518
|
-
a per-file basis:
|
|
519
|
-
|
|
520
|
-
```text
|
|
521
|
-
# Local Variables:
|
|
522
|
-
# mode: makefile
|
|
523
|
-
# End:
|
|
524
|
-
```
|
|
525
|
-
|
|
526
|
-

Quick Start
|
|
566
|
-
-----------
|
|
567
|
-
|
|
568
|
-
See [the installation section](#installation) for how to install `just` on your
|
|
569
|
-

another-recipe:
|
|
584
|
-
@echo 'This is another recipe.'
|
|
585
|
-
```
|
|
586
|
-
|
|
587
|
-
When you invoke `just` it looks for file `justfile` in the current directory
|
|
588
|
-
and upwards, so you can invoke it from any subdirectory of your project.
|
|
589
|
-
|
|
590
|
-
The search for a `justfile` is case insensitive, so any case, like `Justfile`,
|
|
591
|
-
`JUSTFILE`, or `JuStFiLe`, will work. `just` will also look for files with the
|
|
592
|
-
name `.justfile`, in case you'd like to hide a `justfile`.
|
|
593
|
-
|
|
594
|
-
Running `just` with no arguments runs the first recipe in the `justfile`:
|
|
595
|
-
|
|
596
|
-
```console
|
|
597
|
-
$ just
|
|
598
|
-
echo 'This is a recipe!'
|
|
599
|
-
This is a recipe!
|
|
600
|
-
```
|
|
601
|
-
|
|
602
|
-
One or more arguments specify the recipe(s) to run:
|
|
603
|
-
|
|
604
|
-
```console
|
|
605
|
-
$ just another-recipe
|
|
606
|
-
This is another recipe.
|
|
607
|
-
```
|
|
608
|
-
|
|
609
|
-
`just` prints each command to standard error before running it, which is why
|
|
610
|
-
`echo 'This is a recipe!'` was printed. This is suppressed for lines starting
|
|
611
|
-
with `@`, which is why `echo 'This is another recipe.'` was not printed.
|
|
612
|
-
|
|
613
|
-
Recipes stop running if a command fails. Here `cargo publish` will only run if
|
|
614
|
-
`cargo test` succeeds:
|
|
615
|
-
|
|
616
|
-
```just
|
|
617
|
-
publish:
|
|
618
|
-
cargo test
|
|
619
|
-
# tests passed, time to publish!
|
|
620
|
-
cargo publish
|
|
621
|
-
```
|
|
622
|
-
|
|
623
|
-
Recipes can depend on other recipes. Here the `test` recipe depends on the
|
|
624
|
-
`build` recipe, so `build` will run before `test`:
|
|
625
|
-
|
|
626
|
-
```just
|
|
627
|
-
build:
|
|
628
|
-
cc main.c foo.c bar.c -o main
|
|
629
|
-
|
|
630
|
-
test: build
|
|
631
|
-
./test
|
|
632
|
-
|
|
633
|
-
sloc:
|
|
634
|
-
@echo "`wc -l *.c` lines of code"
|
|
635
|
-
```
|
|
636
|
-
|
|
637
|
-
```console
|
|
638
|
-
$ just test
|
|
639
|
-
cc main.c foo.c bar.c -o main
|
|
640
|
-
./test
|
|
641
|
-
testing… all tests passed!
|
|
642
|
-
```
|
|
643
|
-
|
|
644
|
-
Recipes without dependencies will run in the order they're given on the command
|
|
645
|
-
line:
|
|
646
|
-
|
|
647
|
-
```console
|
|
648
|
-
$ just build sloc
|
|
649
|
-
cc main.c foo.c bar.c -o main
|
|
650
|
-
1337 lines of code
|
|
651
|
-
```
|
|
652
|
-
|
|
653
|
-
Dependencies will always run first, even if they are passed after a recipe that
|
|
654
|
-
depends on them:
|
|
655
|
-
|
|
656
|
-
```console
|
|
657
|
-
$ just test build
|
|
658
|
-
cc main.c foo.c bar.c -o main
|
|
659
|
-
./test
|
|
660
|
-
testing… all tests passed!
|
|
661
|
-
```

-
### The Default Recipe
|
|
674
|
-
|
|
675
|
-
When `just` is invoked without a recipe, it runs the first recipe in the
|
|
676
|
-
`justfile`. This recipe might be the most frequently run command in the
|
|
677
|
-
project, like running the tests:
|
|
678
|
-
|
|
679
|
-
```just
|
|
680
|
-
test:
|
|
681
|
-
cargo test
|
|
682
|
-
```
|
|
683
|
-
|
|
684
|
-
You can also use dependencies to run multiple recipes by default:
|
|
685
|
-
|
|
686
|
-
```just
|
|
687
|
-
default: lint build test
|
|
688
|
-
|
|
689
|
-
build:
|
|
690
|
-
echo Building…
|
|
691
|
-
|
|
692
|
-
test:
|
|
693
|
-
echo Testing…
|
|
694
|
-
|
|
695
|
-
lint:
|
|
696
|
-
echo Linting…
|
|
697
|
-
```
|
|
698
|
-
|
|
699
|
-
If no recipe makes sense as the default recipe, you can add a recipe to the
|
|
700
|
-
beginning of your `justfile` that lists the available recipes:
|
|
701
|
-
|
|
702
|
-
```just
|
|
703
|
-
default:
|
|
704
|
-
just --list
|
|
705
|
-
```
|
|
706
|
-
|
|
707
|
-
### Listing Available Recipes
|
|
708
|
-
|
|
709
|
-
Recipes can be listed in alphabetical order with `just --list`:
|
|
710
|
-
|
|
711
|
-
```console
|
|
712
|
-
$ just --list
|
|
713
|
-
Available recipes:
|
|
714
|
-
build
|
|
715
|
-
test
|
|
716
|
-
deploy
|
|
717
|
-
lint
|
|
718
|
-
```
|
|
719
|
-
|
|
720
|
-
Recipes in [submodules](#modules1190) can be listed with `just --list PATH`,
|
|
721
|
-
where `PATH` is a space- or `::`-separated module path:
|
|
722
|
-
|
|
723
|
-
```
|
|
724
|
-
$ cat justfile
|
|
725
|
-
mod foo
|
|
726
|
-
$ cat foo.just
|
|
727
|
-
mod bar
|
|
728
|
-
$ cat bar.just
|
|
729
|
-
baz:
|
|
730
|
-
$ just foo bar
|
|
731
|
-
Available recipes:
|
|
732
|
-
baz
|
|
733
|
-
$ just foo::bar
|
|
734
|
-
Available recipes:
|
|
735
|
-
baz
|
|
736
|
-
```
|
|
737
|
-
|
|
738
|
-
`just --summary` is more concise:
|
|
739
|
-
|
|
740
|
-
```console
|
|
741
|
-
$ just --summary
|
|
742
|
-
build test deploy lint
|
|
743
|
-
```
|
|
744
|
-
|
|
745
|
-
Pass `--unsorted` to print recipes in the order they appear in the `justfile`:
|
|
746
|
-
|
|
747
|
-
```just
|
|
748
|
-
test:
|
|
749
|
-
echo 'Testing!'
|
|
750
|
-
|
|
751
|
-
build:
|
|
752
|
-
echo 'Building!'
|
|
753
|
-
```
|
|
754
|
-
|
|
755
|
-
```console
|
|
756
|
-
$ just --list --unsorted
|
|
757
|
-
Available recipes:
|
|
758
|
-
test
|
|
759
|
-
build
|
|
760
|
-
```
|
|
761
|
-
|
|
762
|
-
```console
|
|
763
|
-
$ just --summary --unsorted
|
|
764
|
-
test build
|
|
765
|
-
```
|
|
766
|
-
|
|
767
|
-
If you'd like `just` to default to listing the recipes in the `justfile`, you
|
|
768
|
-
can use this as your default recipe:
|
|
769
|
-
|
|
770
|
-
```just
|
|
771
|
-
default:
|
|
772
|
-
@just --list
|
|
773
|
-
```
|
|
32
|
+
The recommended way to run `rust-just` without installing it on your system is by using <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/npx">`npx`</a>:
|
|
774
33
|
|
|
775
|
-
Note that you may need to add `--justfile {{justfile()}}` to the line above.
|
|
776
|
-
Without it, if you executed `just -f /some/distant/justfile -d .` or
|
|
777
|
-
`just -f ./non-standard-justfile`, the plain `just --list` inside the recipe
|
|
778
|
-
would not necessarily use the file you provided. It would try to find a
|
|
779
|
-
justfile in your current path, maybe even resulting in a `No justfile found`
|
|
780
|
-
error.
|
|
781
|
-
|
|
782
|
-
The heading text can be customized with `--list-heading`:
|
|
783
|
-
|
|
784
|
-
```console
|
|
785
|
-
$ just --list --list-heading $'Cool stuff…\n'
|
|
786
|
-
Cool stuff…
|
|
787
|
-
test
|
|
788
|
-
build
|
|
789
|
-
```
|
|
790
|
-
|
|
791
|
-
And the indentation can be customized with `--list-prefix`:
|
|
792
|
-
|
|
793
|
-
```console
|
|
794
|
-
$ just --list --list-prefix ····
|
|
795
|
-
Available recipes:
|
|
796
|
-
····test
|
|
797
|
-
····build
|
|
798
|
-
```
|
|
799
|
-
|
|
800
|
-
The argument to `--list-heading` replaces both the heading and the newline
|
|
801
|
-
following it, so it should contain a newline if non-empty. It works this way so
|
|
802
|
-
you can suppress the heading line entirely by passing the empty string:
|
|
803
|
-
|
|
804
|
-
```console
|
|
805
|
-
$ just --list --list-heading ''
|
|
806
|
-
test
|
|
807
|
-
build
|
|
808
|
-
```
|
|
809
|
-
|
|
810
|
-
### Invoking Multiple Recipes
|
|
811
|
-
|
|
812
|
-
Multiple recipes may be invoked on the command line at once:
|
|
813
|
-
|
|
814
|
-
```just
|
|
815
|
-
build:
|
|
816
|
-
make web
|
|
817
|
-
|
|
818
|
-
serve:
|
|
819
|
-
python3 -m http.server -d out 8000
|
|
820
|
-
```
|
|
821
|
-
|
|
822
|
-
```console
|
|
823
|
-
$ just build serve
|
|
824
|
-
make web
|
|
825
|
-
python3 -m http.server -d out 8000
|
|
826
|
-
```
|
|
827
|
-
|
|
828
|
-
Keep in mind that recipes with parameters will swallow arguments, even if they
|
|
829
|
-
match the names of other recipes:
|
|
830
|
-
|
|
831
|
-
```just
|
|
832
|
-
build project:
|
|
833
|
-
make {{project}}
|
|
834
|
-
|
|
835
|
-
serve:
|
|
836
|
-
python3 -m http.server -d out 8000
|
|
837
|
-
```
|
|
838
|
-
|
|
839
|
-
```console
|
|
840
|
-
$ just build serve
|
|
841
|
-
make: *** No rule to make target `serve'. Stop.
|
|
842
|
-
```
|
|
843
|
-
|
|
844
|
-
The `--one` flag can be used to restrict command-line invocations to a single
|
|
845
|
-
recipe:
|
|
846
|
-
|
|
847
|
-
```console
|
|
848
|
-
$ just --one build serve
|
|
849
|
-
error: Expected 1 command-line recipe invocation but found 2.
|
|
850
|
-
```
|
|
851
|
-
|
|
852
|
-
### Working Directory
|
|
853
|
-
|
|
854
|
-
By default, recipes run with the working directory set to the directory that
|
|
855
|
-
contains the `justfile`.
|
|
856
|
-
|
|
857
|
-
The `[no-cd]` attribute can be used to make recipes run with the working
|
|
858
|
-
directory set to directory in which `just` was invoked.
|
|
859
|
-
|
|
860
|
-
```just
|
|
861
|
-
@foo:
|
|
862
|
-
pwd
|
|
863
|
-
|
|
864
|
-
[no-cd]
|
|
865
|
-
@bar:
|
|
866
|
-
pwd
|
|
867
|
-
```
|
|
868
|
-
|
|
869
|
-
```console
|
|
870
|
-
$ cd subdir
|
|
871
|
-
$ just foo
|
|
872
|
-
/
|
|
873
|
-
$ just bar
|
|
874
|
-
/subdir
|
|
875
34
|
```
|
|
876
|
-
|
|
877
|
-
You can override working directory with `set working-directory := '…'`, whose value
|
|
878
|
-
is relative to the default working directory.
|
|
879
|
-
|
|
880
|
-
```just
|
|
881
|
-
set working-directory := 'bar'
|
|
882
|
-
|
|
883
|
-
@foo:
|
|
884
|
-
pwd
|
|
885
|
-
```
|
|
886
|
-
|
|
887
|
-
```console
|
|
888
|
-
$ pwd
|
|
889
|
-
/home/bob
|
|
890
|
-
$ just foo
|
|
891
|
-
/home/bob/bar
|
|
892
|
-
```
|
|
893
|
-
|
|
894
|
-
### Aliases
|
|
895
|
-
|
|
896
|
-
Aliases allow recipes to be invoked on the command line with alternative names:
|
|
897
|
-
|
|
898
|
-
```just
|
|
899
|
-
alias b := build
|
|
900
|
-
|
|
901
|
-
build:
|
|
902
|
-
echo 'Building!'
|
|
903
|

### Settings
|
|
912
|
-
|
|
913
|
-
Settings control interpretation and execution. Each setting may be specified at
|
|
914
|
-
most once, anywhere in the `justfile`.
|
|
915
|
-
|
|
916
|
-
For example:
|
|
917
|
-
|
|
918
|
-
```just
|
|
919
|
-
set shell := ["zsh", "-cu"]
|
|
920
|
-
|
|
921
|
-
foo:
|
|
922
|
-
# this line will be run as `zsh -cu 'ls **/*.txt'`
|
|
923
|
-
ls **/*.txt
|
|
35
|
+
~/$ npx rust-just@latest [OPTIONS] [ARGUMENTS]...
|
|
924
36
|
```
|
|
925
37
|
|
|
926
|
-
|
|
38
|
+
It will run the most recent version of `rust-just`.

### Installation as global dependency
|
|
947
41
|
|
|
948
|
-
|
|
42
|
+
`rust-just` could also be installed as a global dependency:
|
|
949
43
|
|
|
950
|
-
```justfile
|
|
951
|
-
set NAME
|
|
952
44
|
```
|
|
953
|
-
|
|
954
|
-
Which is equivalent to:
|
|
955
|
-
|
|
956
|
-
```justfile
|
|
957
|
-
set NAME := true
|
|
45
|
+
~/$ npm install -g rust-just
|
|
958
46
|
```
|
|
959
47
|
|
|
960
|
-
|
|
48
|
+
and then run with:
|
|
961
49
|
|
|
962
|
-
If `allow-duplicate-recipes` is set to `true`, defining multiple recipes with
|
|
963
|
-
the same name is not an error and the last definition is used. Defaults to
|
|
964
|
-
`false`.
|
|
965
|
-
|
|
966
|
-
```just
|
|
967
|
-
set allow-duplicate-recipes
|
|
968
|
-
|
|
969
|
-
@foo:
|
|
970
|
-
echo foo
|
|
971
|
-
|
|
972
|
-
@foo:
|
|
973
|
-
echo bar
|
|
974
50
|
```
|
|
975
|
-
|
|
976
|
-
```console
|
|
977
|
-
$ just foo
|
|
978
|
-
bar
|
|
51
|
+
~/$ rust-just [OPTIONS] [ARGUMENTS]...
|
|
979
52
|
```
|
|
980
53
|
|
|
981
|
-
|
|
54
|
+
### Installation as local dependency
|
|
982
55
|
|
|
983
|
-
If `allow-duplicate-variables` is set to `true`, defining multiple variables
|
|
984
|
-
with the same name is not an error and the last definition is used. Defaults to
|
|
985
|
-
`false`.
|
|
986
|
-
|
|
987
|
-
```just
|
|
988
|
-
set allow-duplicate-variables
|
|
989
|
-
|
|
990
|
-
a := "foo"
|
|
991
|
-
a := "bar"
|
|
992
|
-
|
|
993
|
-
@foo:
|
|
994
|
-
echo $a
|
|
995
56
|
```
|
|
996
|
-
|
|
997
|
-
```console
|
|
998
|
-
$ just foo
|
|
999
|
-
bar
|
|
57
|
+
~/$ npm install rust-just
|
|
1000
58
|
```
|
|
1001
59
|
|
|
1002
|
-
|
|
1003
|
-
|
|
1004
|
-
|
|
1005
|
-
|
|
1006
|
-
|
|
1007
|
-
|
|
1008
|
-
|
|
1009
|
-
|
|
1010
|
-
|
|
1011
|
-
override `dotenv-path` at runtime.
|
|
1012
|
-
|
|
1013
|
-
If `dotenv-filename` is set `just` will look for a file at the given path,
|
|
1014
|
-
relative to the working directory and each of its ancestors.
|
|
1015
|
-
|
|
1016
|
-
If `dotenv-filename` is not set, but `dotenv-load` or `dotenv-required` are
|
|
1017
|
-
set, just will look for a file named `.env`, relative to the working directory
|
|
1018
|
-
and each of its ancestors.
|
|
1019
|
-
|
|
1020
|
-
`dotenv-filename` and `dotenv-path` are similar, but `dotenv-path` is only
|
|
1021
|
-
checked relative to the working directory, whereas `dotenv-filename` is checked
|
|
1022
|
-
relative to the working directory and each of its ancestors.
|
|
1023
|
-
|
|
1024
|
-
It is not an error if an environment file is not found, unless
|
|
1025
|
-
`dotenv-required` is set.
|
|
1026
|
-
|
|
1027
|
-
The loaded variables are environment variables, not `just` variables, and so
|
|
1028
|
-
must be accessed using `$VARIABLE_NAME` in recipes and backticks.
|
|
1029
|
-
|
|
1030
|
-
For example, if your `.env` file contains:
|
|
1031
|
-
|
|
1032
|
-
```console
|
|
1033
|
-
# a comment, will be ignored
|
|
1034
|
-
DATABASE_ADDRESS=localhost:6379
|
|
1035
|
-
SERVER_PORT=1337
|
|
1036
|
-
```
|
|
1037
|
-
|
|
1038
|
-
And your `justfile` contains:
|
|
1039
|
-
|
|
1040
|
-
```just
|
|
1041
|
-
set dotenv-load
|
|
1042
|
-
|
|
1043
|
-
serve:
|
|
1044
|
-
@echo "Starting server with database $DATABASE_ADDRESS on port $SERVER_PORT…"
|
|
1045
|
-
./server --database $DATABASE_ADDRESS --port $SERVER_PORT
|
|
1046
|
-
```
|
|
1047
|
-
|
|
1048
|
-
`just serve` will output:
|
|
1049
|
-
|
|
1050
|
-
```console
|
|
1051
|
-
$ just serve
|
|
1052
|
-
Starting server with database localhost:6379 on port 1337…
|
|
1053
|
-
./server --database $DATABASE_ADDRESS --port $SERVER_PORT
|
|
1054
|
-
```
|
|
1055
|
-
|
|
1056
|
-
#### Export
|
|
1057
|
-
|
|
1058
|
-
The `export` setting causes all `just` variables to be exported as environment
|
|
1059
|
-
variables. Defaults to `false`.
|
|
1060
|
-
|
|
1061
|
-
```just
|
|
1062
|
-
set export
|
|
1063
|
-
|
|
1064
|
-
a := "hello"
|
|
1065
|
-
|
|
1066
|
-
@foo b:
|
|
1067
|
-
echo $a
|
|
1068
|
-
echo $b
|
|
1069
|
-
```
|
|
1070
|
-
|
|
1071
|
-
```console
|
|
1072
|
-
$ just foo goodbye
|
|
1073
|
-
hello
|
|
1074
|
-
goodbye
|
|
1075
|
-
```
|
|
1076
|
-
|
|
1077
|
-
#### Positional Arguments
|
|
1078
|
-
|
|
1079
|
-
If `positional-arguments` is `true`, recipe arguments will be passed as
|
|
1080
|
-
positional arguments to commands. For linewise recipes, argument `$0` will be
|
|
1081
|
-
the name of the recipe.
|
|
1082
|
-
|
|
1083
|
-
For example, running this recipe:
|
|
1084
|
-
|
|
1085
|
-
```just
|
|
1086
|
-
set positional-arguments
|
|
1087
|
-
|
|
1088
|
-
@foo bar:
|
|
1089
|
-
echo $0
|
|
1090
|
-
echo $1
|
|
1091
|
-
```
|
|
1092
|
-
|
|
1093
|
-
Will produce the following output:
|
|
1094
|
-
|
|
1095
|
-
```console
|
|
1096
|
-
$ just foo hello
|
|
1097
|
-
foo
|
|
1098
|
-
hello
|
|
1099
|
-
```
|
|
1100
|
-
|
|
1101
|
-
When using an `sh`-compatible shell, such as `bash` or `zsh`, `$@` expands to
|
|
1102
|
-
the positional arguments given to the recipe, starting from one. When used
|
|
1103
|
-
within double quotes as `"$@"`, arguments including whitespace will be passed
|
|
1104
|
-
on as if they were double-quoted. That is, `"$@"` is equivalent to `"$1" "$2"`…
|
|
1105
|
-
When there are no positional parameters, `"$@"` and `$@` expand to nothing
|
|
1106
|
-
(i.e., they are removed).
|
|
1107
|
-
|
|
1108
|
-
This example recipe will print arguments one by one on separate lines:
|
|
1109
|
-
|
|
1110
|
-
```just
|
|
1111
|
-
set positional-arguments
|
|
1112
|
-
|
|
1113
|
-
@test *args='':
|
|
1114
|
-
bash -c 'while (( "$#" )); do echo - $1; shift; done' -- "$@"
|
|
1115
|
-
```
|
|
1116
|
-
|
|
1117
|
-
Running it with _two_ arguments:
|
|
1118
|
-
|
|
1119
|
-
```console
|
|
1120
|
-
$ just test foo "bar baz"
|
|
1121
|
-
- foo
|
|
1122
|
-
- bar baz
|
|
1123
|
-
```
|
|
1124
|
-
|
|
1125
|
-
Positional arguments may also be turned on on a per-recipe basis with the
|
|
1126
|
-
`[positional-arguments]` attribute<sup>1.29.0</sup>:
|
|
1127
|
-
|
|
1128
|
-
```just
|
|
1129
|
-
[positional-arguments]
|
|
1130
|
-
@foo bar:
|
|
1131
|
-
echo $0
|
|
1132
|
-
echo $1
|
|
1133
|
-
```
|
|
1134
|
-
|
|
1135
|
-
Note that PowerShell does not handle positional arguments in the same way as
|
|
1136
|
-
other shells, so turning on positional arguments will likely break recipes that
|
|
1137
|
-
use PowerShell.
|
|
1138
|
-
|
|
1139
|
-
#### Shell
|
|
1140
|
-
|
|
1141
|
-
The `shell` setting controls the command used to invoke recipe lines and
|
|
1142
|
-
backticks. Shebang recipes are unaffected. The default shell is `sh -cu`.
|
|
1143
|
-
|
|
1144
|
-
```just
|
|
1145
|
-
# use python3 to execute recipe lines and backticks
|
|
1146
|
-
set shell := ["python3", "-c"]
|
|
1147
|
-
|
|
1148
|
-
# use print to capture result of evaluation
|
|
1149
|
-
foos := `print("foo" * 4)`
|
|
1150
|
-
|
|
1151
|
-
foo:
|
|
1152
|
-
print("Snake snake snake snake.")
|
|
1153
|
-
print("{{foos}}")
|
|
1154
|
-
```
|
|
1155
|
-
|
|
1156
|
-
`just` passes the command to be executed as an argument. Many shells will need
|
|
1157
|
-
an additional flag, often `-c`, to make them evaluate the first argument.
|
|
1158
|
-
|
|
1159
|
-
##### Windows Shell
|
|
1160
|
-
|
|
1161
|
-
`just` uses `sh` on Windows by default. To use a different shell on Windows,
|
|
1162
|
-
use `windows-shell`:
|
|
1163
|
-
|
|
1164
|
-
```just
|
|
1165
|
-
set windows-shell := ["powershell.exe", "-NoLogo", "-Command"]
|
|
1166
|
-
|
|
1167
|
-
hello:
|
|
1168
|
-
Write-Host "Hello, world!"
|
|
1169
|
-
```
|
|
1170
|
-
|
|
1171
|
-
See
|
|
1172
|
-
[powershell.just](https://github.com/casey/just/blob/master/examples/powershell.just)
|
|
1173
|
-
for a justfile that uses PowerShell on all platforms.
|
|
1174
|
-
|
|
1175
|
-
##### Windows PowerShell
|
|
1176
|
-
|
|
1177
|
-
*`set windows-powershell` uses the legacy `powershell.exe` binary, and is no
|
|
1178
|
-
longer recommended. See the `windows-shell` setting above for a more flexible
|
|
1179
|
-
way to control which shell is used on Windows.*
|
|
1180
|
-
|
|
1181
|
-
`just` uses `sh` on Windows by default. To use `powershell.exe` instead, set
|
|
1182
|
-
`windows-powershell` to true.
|
|
1183
|
-
|
|
1184
|
-
```just
|
|
1185
|
-
set windows-powershell := true
|
|
1186
|
-
|
|
1187
|
-
hello:
|
|
1188
|
-
Write-Host "Hello, world!"
|
|
1189
|
-
```
|
|
1190
|
-
|
|
1191
|
-
##### Python 3

### Documentation Comments
|
|
1231
|
-
|
|
1232
|
-
Comments immediately preceding a recipe will appear in `just --list`:
|
|
1233
|
-
|
|
1234
|
-
```just
|
|
1235
|
-

### Variables and Substitution
|
|
1273
|
-
|
|
1274
|
-
Variables, strings, concatenation, path joining, and substitution using `{{…}}`
|
|
1275
|
-
are supported:
|
|
1276
|
-
|
|
1277
|
-
```just
|
|
1278
|
-
tmpdir := `mktemp -d`
|
|
1279
|
-
version := "0.2.7"
|
|
1280
|
-
tardir := tmpdir / "awesomesauce-" + version
|
|
1281
|
-
tarball := tardir + ".tar.gz"
|
|
1282
|
-
|
|
1283
|
-
publish:
|
|
1284
|
-
rm -f {{tarball}}
|
|
1285
|
-
mkdir {{tardir}}
|
|
1286
|
-
cp README.md *.c {{tardir}}
|
|
1287
|
-
tar zcvf {{tarball}} {{tardir}}
|
|
1288
|
-
scp {{tarball}} me@server.com:release/
|
|
1289
|
-
rm -rf {{tarball}} {{tardir}}
|
|
1290
|
-
```
|
|
1291
|
-
|
|
1292
|
-
#### Joining Paths
|
|
1293
|
-
|
|
1294
|
-
The `/` operator can be used to join two strings with a slash:
|
|
1295
|
-
|
|
1296
|
-
```just
|
|
1297
|
-
foo := "a" / "b"
|
|
1298
|
-
```
|
|
1299
|
-
|
|
1300
|
-
```
|
|
1301
|
-
$ just --evaluate foo
|
|
1302
|
-
a/b
|
|
1303
|
-
```
|
|
1304
|
-
|
|
1305
|
-
Note that a `/` is added even if one is already present:
|
|
1306
|
-
|
|
1307
|
-
```just
|
|
1308
|
-
foo := "a/"
|
|
1309
|
-
bar := foo / "b"
|
|
1310
|
-
```
|
|
1311
|
-
|
|
1312
|
-
```
|
|
1313
|
-
$ just --evaluate bar
|
|
1314
|
-
a//b
|
|
1315
|
-
```
|
|
1316
|
-
|
|
1317
|
-
Absolute paths can also be constructed<sup>1.5.0</sup>:
|
|
1318
|
-
|
|
1319
|
-
```just
|
|
1320
|
-
foo := / "b"
|
|
1321
|
-
```
|
|
1322
|
-
|
|
1323
|
-
```
|
|
1324
|
-
$ just --evaluate foo
|
|
1325
|
-
/b
|
|
1326
|
-
```
|
|
1327
|
-
|
|
1328
|
-
The `/` operator uses the `/` character, even on Windows. Thus, using the `/`
|
|
1329
|
-
operator should be avoided with paths that use universal naming convention
|
|
1330
|
-
(UNC), i.e., those that start with `\?`, since forward slashes are not
|
|
1331
|
-
supported with UNC paths.
|
|
1332
|
-
|
|
1333
|
-
#### Escaping `{{`
|
|
1334
|
-
|
|
1335
|
-
To write a recipe containing `{{`, use `{{{{`:
|
|
1336
|
-
|
|
1337
|
-
```just
|
|
1338
|
-
braces:
|
|
1339
|
-
echo 'I {{{{LOVE}} curly braces!'
|
|
1340
|
-
```
|
|
1341
|
-
|
|
1342
|
-
(An unmatched `}}` is ignored, so it doesn't need to be escaped.)
|
|
1343
|
-
|
|
1344
|
-
Another option is to put all the text you'd like to escape inside of an
|
|
1345
|
-
interpolation:
|
|
1346
|
-
|
|
1347
|
-
```just
|
|
1348
|
-
braces:
|
|
1349
|
-
echo '{{'I {{LOVE}} curly braces!'}}'
|
|
1350
|
-
```
|
|
1351
|
-
|
|
1352
|
-
Yet another option is to use `{{ "{{" }}`:
|
|
1353
|
-
|
|
1354
|
-
```just
|
|
1355
|
-
braces:
|
|
1356
|
-
echo 'I {{ "{{" }}LOVE}} curly braces!'
|
|
1357
|
-
```
|
|
1358
|
-
|
|
1359
|
-
### Strings
|
|
1360
|
-
|
|
1361
|
-
Double-quoted strings support escape sequences:
|
|
1362
|
-
|
|
1363
|
-
```just
|
|
1364
|
-
carriage-return := "\r"
|
|
1365
|
-
double-quote := "\""
|
|
1366
|
-
newline := "\n"
|
|
1367
|
-
no-newline := "\
|
|
1368
|
-
"
|
|
1369
|
-
slash := "\\"
|
|
1370
|
-
tab := "\t"
|
|
1371
|
-
unicode-codepoint := "\u{1F916}"
|
|
1372
|
-
```
|
|
1373
|
-
|
|
1374
|
-
```console
|
|
1375
|
-
$ just --evaluate
|
|
1376
|
-
"arriage-return := "
|
|
1377
|
-
double-quote := """
|
|
1378
|
-
newline := "
|
|
1379
|
-
"
|
|
1380
|
-
no-newline := ""
|
|
1381
|
-
slash := "\"
|
|
1382
|
-
tab := " "
|
|
1383
|
-
unicode-codepoint := "🤖"
|
|
1384
|
-
```
|
|
1385
|
-
|
|
1386
|
-
The unicode character escape sequence `\u{…}`<sup>1.36.0</sup> accepts up to
|
|
1387
|
-
six hex digits.
|
|
1388
|
-
|
|
1389
|
-
Strings may contain line breaks:
|
|
1390
|
-
|
|
1391
|
-
```just
|
|
1392
|
-
single := '
|
|
1393
|
-
hello
|
|
1394
|
-
'
|
|
1395
|
-
|
|
1396
|
-
double := "
|
|
1397
|
-
goodbye
|
|
1398
|
-
"
|
|
1399
|
-
```
|
|
1400
|
-
|
|
1401
|
-
Single-quoted strings do not recognize escape sequences:
|
|
1402
|
-
|
|
1403
|
-
```just
|
|
1404
|
-
escapes := '\t\n\r\"\\'
|
|
1405
|
-
```
|
|
1406
|
-
|
|
1407
|
-
```console
|
|
1408
|
-
$ just --evaluate
|
|
1409
|
-
escapes := "\t\n\r\"\\"
|
|
1410
|
-
```
|
|
1411
|
-
|
|
1412
|
-
Indented versions of both single- and double-quoted strings, delimited by
|
|
1413
|
-
triple single- or double-quotes, are supported. Indented string lines are
|
|
1414
|
-
stripped of a leading line break, and leading whitespace common to all
|
|
1415
|
-
non-blank lines:
|
|
1416
|
-
|
|
1417
|
-
```just
|
|
1418
|
-
# this string will evaluate to `foo\nbar\n`
|
|
1419
|
-
x := '''
|
|
1420
|
-
foo
|
|
1421
|
-
bar
|
|
1422
|
-
'''
|
|
1423
|
-
|
|
1424
|
-
# this string will evaluate to `abc\n wuv\nxyz\n`
|
|
1425
|
-
y := """
|
|
1426
|
-
abc
|
|
1427
|
-
wuv
|
|
1428
|
-
xyz
|
|
1429
|
-
"""
|
|
1430
|
-
```
|
|
1431
|
-
|
|
1432
|
-
Similar to unindented strings, indented double-quoted strings process escape
|
|
1433
|
-
sequences, and indented single-quoted strings ignore escape sequences. Escape
|
|
1434
|
-
sequence processing takes place after unindentation. The unindentation
|
|
1435
|
-
algorithm does not take escape-sequence produced whitespace or newlines into
|
|
1436
|
-
account.
|
|
1437
|
-
|
|
1438
|
-
Strings prefixed with `x` are shell expanded<sup>1.27.0</sup>:
|
|
1439
|
-
|
|
1440
|
-
```justfile
|
|
1441
|
-
foobar := x'~/$FOO/${BAR}'
|
|
1442
|
-
```
|
|
1443
|
-
|
|
1444
|
-
| Value | Replacement |
|
|
1445
|
-
|------|-------------|
|
|
1446
|
-
| `$VAR` | value of environment variable `VAR` |
|
|
1447
|
-
| `${VAR}` | value of environment variable `VAR` |
|
|
1448
|
-
| `${VAR:-DEFAULT}` | value of environment variable `VAR`, or `DEFAULT` if `VAR` is not set |
|
|
1449
|
-
| Leading `~` | path to current user's home directory |
|
|
1450
|
-
| Leading `~USER` | path to `USER`'s home directory |
|
|
1451
|
-
|
|
1452
|
-
This expansion is performed at compile time, so variables from `.env` files and
|
|
1453
|
-
exported `just` variables cannot be used. However, this allows shell expanded
|
|
1454
|
-
strings to be used in places like settings and import paths, which cannot
|
|
1455
|
-
depend on `just` variables and `.env` files.
|
|
1456
|
-
|
|
1457
|
-
### Ignoring Errors
|
|
1458
|
-
|
|
1459
|
-
Normally, if a command returns a non-zero exit status, execution will stop. To
|
|
1460
|
-
continue execution after a command, even if it fails, prefix the command with
|
|
1461
|
-
`-`:
|
|
1462
|
-
|
|
1463
|
-
```just
|
|
1464
|
-
foo:
|
|
1465
|
-
-cat foo
|
|
1466
|
-
echo 'Done!'
|
|
1467
|
-
```
|
|
1468
|
-
|
|
1469
|
-
```console
|
|
1470
|
-
$ just foo
|
|
1471
|
-
cat foo
|
|
1472
|
-
cat: foo: No such file or directory
|
|
1473
|
-
echo 'Done!'
|
|
1474
|
-
Done!
|
|
1475
|
-
```
|
|
1476
|
-
|
|
1477
|
-
### Functions
|
|
1478
|
-
|
|
1479
|
-
`just` provides a few built-in functions that might be useful when writing
|
|
1480
|
-
recipes.
|
|
1481
|
-
|
|
1482
|
-
All functions ending in `_directory` can be abbreviated to `_dir`. So
|
|
1483
|
-
`home_directory()` can also be written as `home_dir()`. In addition,
|
|
1484
|
-
`invocation_directory_native()` can be abbreviated to
|
|
1485
|
-
`invocation_dir_native()`.
|
|
1486

|
|
1487

#### System Information
|
|
1488
|
-
|
|
1489
|
-
- `arch()` — Instruction set architecture. Possible values are: `"aarch64"`,
|
|
1490
|
-
`"arm"`, `"asmjs"`, `"hexagon"`, `"mips"`, `"msp430"`, `"powerpc"`,
|
|
1491
|
-
`"powerpc64"`, `"s390x"`, `"sparc"`, `"wasm32"`, `"x86"`, `"x86_64"`, and
|
|
1492
|
-
`"xcore"`.
|
|
1493
|
-
- `num_cpus()`<sup>1.15.0</sup> - Number of logical CPUs.
|
|
1494
|
-
- `os()` — Operating system. Possible values are: `"android"`, `"bitrig"`,
|
|
1495
|
-
`"dragonfly"`, `"emscripten"`, `"freebsd"`, `"haiku"`, `"ios"`, `"linux"`,
|
|
1496
|
-
`"macos"`, `"netbsd"`, `"openbsd"`, `"solaris"`, and `"windows"`.
|
|
1497
|
-
- `os_family()` — Operating system family; possible values are: `"unix"` and
|
|
1498
|
-
`"windows"`.
|
|
1499
|
-
|
|
1500
|
-
For example:
|
|
1501
|
-
|
|
1502
|
-
```just
|
|
1503
|
-
system-info:
|
|
1504
|
-
@echo "This is an {{arch()}} machine".
|
|
1505
|
-
```
|
|
1506
|
-
|
|
1507
|
-
```console
|
|
1508
|
-
$ just system-info
|
|
1509
|
-
This is an x86_64 machine
|
|
1510
|
-
```
|
|
1511
|
-
|
|
1512
|
-
The `os_family()` function can be used to create cross-platform `justfile`s
|
|
1513
|
-
that work on various operating systems. For an example, see
|
|
1514
|
-
[cross-platform.just](https://github.com/casey/just/blob/master/examples/cross-platform.just)
|
|
1515

#### External Commands
|
|
1518
|
-
|
|
1519
|
-
- `shell(command, args...)`<sup>1.27.0</sup> returns the standard output of shell script
|
|
1520
|
-
`command` with zero or more positional arguments `args`. The shell used to
|
|
1521

-
interpret `command` is the same shell that is used to evaluate recipe lines,
|
|
1522
|
-
and can be changed with `set shell := […]`.
|
|
1523
|
-
|
|
1524
|
-
`command` is passed as the first argument, so if the command is `'echo $@'`,
|
|
1525
|
-
the full command line, with the default shell command `shell -cu` and `args`
|
|
1526
|
-
`'foo'` and `'bar'` will be:
|
|
1527
|
-
|
|
1528
|
-
```
|
|
1529
|
-
'shell' '-cu' 'echo $@' 'echo $@' 'foo' 'bar'
|
|
1530
|
-
```
|
|
1531
|
-
|
|
1532
|
-
This is so that `$@` works as expected, and `$1` refers to the first
|
|
1533
|
-
argument. `$@` does not include the first positional argument, which is
|
|
1534
|
-
expected to be the name of the program being run.
|
|
1535
|

#### Environment Variables
|
|
1559
|
-
|
|
1560
|
-
- `env_var(key)` — Retrieves the environment variable with name `key`, aborting
|
|
1561
|
-
if it is not present.
|
|
1562
|
-
|
|
1563
|
-
```just
|
|
1564
|
-
home_dir := env_var('HOME')
|
|
1565
|
-
|
|
1566
|
-
test:
|
|
1567
|
-
echo "{{home_dir}}"
|
|
1568
|
-
```
|
|
1569
|
-
|
|
1570
|
-
```console
|
|
1571
|
-
$ just
|
|
1572
|
-
/home/user1
|
|
1573
|
-
```
|
|
1574
|
-
|
|
1575
|
-
- `env_var_or_default(key, default)` — Retrieves the environment variable with
|
|
1576
|
-
name `key`, returning `default` if it is not present.
|
|
1577
|
-
- `env(key)`<sup>1.15.0</sup> — Alias for `env_var(key)`.
|
|
1578
|
-
- `env(key, default)`<sup>1.15.0</sup> — Alias for `env_var_or_default(key, default)`.
|
|
1579
|
-
|
|
1580
|
-
#### Invocation Information
|
|
1581
|
-
|
|
1582
|
-
- `is_dependency()` - Returns the string `true` if the current recipe is being
|
|
1583
|
-
run as a dependency of another recipe, rather than being run directly,
|
|
1584
|
-
otherwise returns the string `false`.
|
|
1585
|
-
|
|
1586
|
-
#### Invocation Directory
|
|
1587
|
-
|
|
1588
|
-
- `invocation_directory()` - Retrieves the absolute path to the current
|
|
1589
|
-
directory when `just` was invoked, before `just` changed it (chdir'd) prior
|
|
1590
|
-
to executing commands. On Windows, `invocation_directory()` uses `cygpath` to
|
|
1591
|
-
convert the invocation directory to a Cygwin-compatible `/`-separated path.
|
|
1592
|
-
Use `invocation_directory_native()` to return the verbatim invocation
|
|
1593
|
-
directory on all platforms.
|
|
1594
|
-
|
|
1595
|
-
For example, to call `rustfmt` on files just under the "current directory"
|
|
1596
|
-
(from the user/invoker's perspective), use the following rule:
|
|
1597
|
-
|
|
1598
|
-
```just
|
|
1599
|
-
rustfmt:
|
|
1600
|
-
find {{invocation_directory()}} -name \*.rs -exec rustfmt {} \;
|
|
1601
|
-
```
|
|
1602
|
-
|
|
1603
|
-
Alternatively, if your command needs to be run from the current directory, you
|
|
1604
|
-
could use (e.g.):
|
|
1605
|
-
|
|
1606
|
-
```just
|
|
1607
|
-
build:
|
|
1608
|
-
cd {{invocation_directory()}}; ./some_script_that_needs_to_be_run_from_here
|
|
1609
|
-
```
|
|
1610
|
-
|
|
1611
|
-
- `invocation_directory_native()` - Retrieves the absolute path to the current
|
|
1612
|
-
directory when `just` was invoked, before `just` changed it (chdir'd) prior
|
|
1613
|
-
to executing commands.
|
|
1614
|
-
|
|
1615
|
-
#### Justfile and Justfile Directory
|
|
1616
|
-
|
|
1617
|
-
- `justfile()` - Retrieves the path of the current `justfile`.
|
|
1618
|
-
|
|
1619
|
-
- `justfile_directory()` - Retrieves the path of the parent directory of the
|
|
1620
|
-
current `justfile`.
|
|
1621
|
-
|
|
1622
|
-
For example, to run a command relative to the location of the current
|
|
1623
|
-
`justfile`:
|
|
1624
|
-
|
|
1625
|
-
```just
|
|
1626
|
-
script:
|
|
1627
|
-
{{justfile_directory()}}/scripts/some_script
|
|
1628
|
-
```
|
|
1629
|
-
|
|
1630
|
-
#### Source and Source Directory
|
|
1631
|
-
|
|
1632
|
-
- `source_file()`<sup>1.27.0</sup> - Retrieves the path of the current source file.
|
|
1633
|
-
|
|
1634
|
-
- `source_directory()`<sup>1.27.0</sup> - Retrieves the path of the parent directory of the
|
|
1635
|
-
current source file.
|
|
1636
|
-
|
|
1637
|
-
`source_file()` and `source_directory()` behave the same as `justfile()` and
|
|
1638
|
-
`justfile_directory()` in the root `justfile`, but will return the path and
|
|
1639
|
-
directory, respectively, of the current `import` or `mod` source file when
|
|
1640
|
-
called from within an import or submodule.
|
|
1641
|
-
|
|
1642
|
-
#### Just Executable
|
|
1643
|
-
|
|
1644
|
-
- `just_executable()` - Absolute path to the `just` executable.
|
|
1645
|
-
|
|
1646
|
-
For example:
|
|
1647
|
-
|
|
1648
|
-
```just
|
|
1649
|
-
executable:
|
|
1650
|
-
@echo The executable is at: {{just_executable()}}
|
|
1651
|
-
```
|
|
1652
|
-
|
|
1653
|
-
```console
|
|
1654
|
-
$ just
|
|
1655
|
-
The executable is at: /bin/just
|
|
1656
|
-
```
|
|
1657
|
-
|
|
1658
|
-
#### Just Process ID
|
|
1659
|
-
|
|
1660
|
-
- `just_pid()` - Process ID of the `just` executable.
|
|
1661
|
-
|
|
1662
|
-
For example:
|
|
1663
|
-
|
|
1664
|
-
```just
|
|
1665
|
-
pid:
|
|
1666
|
-
@echo The process ID is: {{ just_pid() }}
|
|
1667
|
-
```
|
|
1668
|
-
|
|
1669
|
-
```console
|
|
1670
|
-
$ just
|
|
1671
|
-
The process ID is: 420
|
|
1672
|
-
```
|
|
1673
|
-
|
|
1674
|
-
#### String Manipulation
|
|
1675
|
-
|
|
1676
|
-
- `append(suffix, s)`<sup>1.27.0</sup> Append `suffix` to whitespace-separated
|
|
1677
|
-
strings in `s`. `append('/src', 'foo bar baz')` → `'foo/src bar/src baz/src'`
|
|
1678
|
-
- `prepend(prefix, s)`<sup>1.27.0</sup> Prepend `prefix` to
|
|
1679
|
-
whitespace-separated strings in `s`. `prepend('src/', 'foo bar baz')` →
|
|
1680
|
-
`'src/foo src/bar src/baz'`
|
|
1681
|
-
- `encode_uri_component(s)`<sup>1.27.0</sup> - Percent-encode characters in `s`
|
|
1682
|
-
except `[A-Za-z0-9_.!~*'()-]`, matching the behavior of the
|
|
1683
|
-
[JavaScript `encodeURIComponent` function](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/encodeURIComponent).
|
|
1684
|
-
- `quote(s)` - Replace all single quotes with `'\''` and prepend and append
|
|
1685
|
-
single quotes to `s`. This is sufficient to escape special characters for
|
|
1686
|
-
many shells, including most Bourne shell descendants.
|
|
1687
|
-
- `replace(s, from, to)` - Replace all occurrences of `from` in `s` to `to`.
|
|
1688
|
-
- `replace_regex(s, regex, replacement)` - Replace all occurrences of `regex`
|
|
1689
|
-
in `s` to `replacement`. Regular expressions are provided by the
|
|
1690
|
-
[Rust `regex` crate](https://docs.rs/regex/latest/regex/). See the
|
|
1691
|
-
[syntax documentation](https://docs.rs/regex/latest/regex/#syntax) for usage
|
|
1692
|
-
examples. Capture groups are supported. The `replacement` string uses
|
|
1693
|
-
[Replacement string syntax](https://docs.rs/regex/latest/regex/struct.Regex.html#replacement-string-syntax).
|
|
1694
|
-
- `trim(s)` - Remove leading and trailing whitespace from `s`.
|
|
1695
|
-
- `trim_end(s)` - Remove trailing whitespace from `s`.
|
|
1696
|
-
- `trim_end_match(s, pat)` - Remove suffix of `s` matching `pat`.
|
|
1697
|
-
- `trim_end_matches(s, pat)` - Repeatedly remove suffixes of `s` matching
|
|
1698
|
-
`pat`.
|
|
1699
|
-
- `trim_start(s)` - Remove leading whitespace from `s`.
|
|
1700
|
-
- `trim_start_match(s, pat)` - Remove prefix of `s` matching `pat`.
|
|
1701
|
-
- `trim_start_matches(s, pat)` - Repeatedly remove prefixes of `s` matching
|
|
1702
|
-
`pat`.
|
|
1703
|
-
|
|
1704
|
-
#### Case Conversion
|
|
1705
|
-
|
|
1706
|
-
- `capitalize(s)`<sup>1.7.0</sup> - Convert first character of `s` to uppercase
|
|
1707
|
-
and the rest to lowercase.
|
|
1708
|
-
- `kebabcase(s)`<sup>1.7.0</sup> - Convert `s` to `kebab-case`.
|
|
1709
|
-
- `lowercamelcase(s)`<sup>1.7.0</sup> - Convert `s` to `lowerCamelCase`.
|
|
1710
|
-
- `lowercase(s)` - Convert `s` to lowercase.
|
|
1711
|
-
- `shoutykebabcase(s)`<sup>1.7.0</sup> - Convert `s` to `SHOUTY-KEBAB-CASE`.
|
|
1712
|
-
- `shoutysnakecase(s)`<sup>1.7.0</sup> - Convert `s` to `SHOUTY_SNAKE_CASE`.
|
|
1713
|
-
- `snakecase(s)`<sup>1.7.0</sup> - Convert `s` to `snake_case`.
|
|
1714
|
-

1717
|
-
|
|
1718
|
-
#### Path Manipulation
|
|
1719
|
-
|
|
1720
|
-
##### Fallible
|
|
1721
|
-
|
|
1722
|
-
- `absolute_path(path)` - Absolute path to relative `path` in the working
|
|
1723
|
-
directory. `absolute_path("./bar.txt")` in directory `/foo` is
|
|
1724
|
-
`/foo/bar.txt`.
|
|
1725
|
-
- `canonicalize(path)`<sup>1.24.0</sup> - Canonicalize `path` by resolving symlinks and removing
|
|
1726
|
-
`.`, `..`, and extra `/`s where possible.
|
|
1727
|
-
- `extension(path)` - Extension of `path`. `extension("/foo/bar.txt")` is
|
|
1728
|
-
`txt`.
|
|
1729
|
-
- `file_name(path)` - File name of `path` with any leading directory components
|
|
1730
|
-
removed. `file_name("/foo/bar.txt")` is `bar.txt`.
|
|
1731
|
-
- `file_stem(path)` - File name of `path` without extension.
|
|
1732
|
-
`file_stem("/foo/bar.txt")` is `bar`.
|
|
1733
|
-
- `parent_directory(path)` - Parent directory of `path`.
|
|
1734
|
-
`parent_directory("/foo/bar.txt")` is `/foo`.
|
|
1735
|
-
- `without_extension(path)` - `path` without extension.
|
|
1736
|
-
`without_extension("/foo/bar.txt")` is `/foo/bar`.
|
|
1737
|
-
|
|
1738
|
-
These functions can fail, for example if a path does not have an extension,
|
|
1739
|
-
which will halt execution.
|
|
1740
|
-
|
|
1741
|
-
##### Infallible
|
|
1742
|
-
|
|
1743
|
-
- `clean(path)` - Simplify `path` by removing extra path separators,
|
|
1744
|
-
intermediate `.` components, and `..` where possible. `clean("foo//bar")` is
|
|
1745
|
-
`foo/bar`, `clean("foo/..")` is `.`, `clean("foo/./bar")` is `foo/bar`.
|
|
1746
|
-
- `join(a, b…)` - *This function uses `/` on Unix and `\` on Windows, which can
|
|
1747
|
-
be lead to unwanted behavior. The `/` operator, e.g., `a / b`, which always
|
|
1748
|
-
uses `/`, should be considered as a replacement unless `\`s are specifically
|
|
1749
|
-
desired on Windows.* Join path `a` with path `b`. `join("foo/bar", "baz")` is
|
|
1750
|
-
`foo/bar/baz`. Accepts two or more arguments.
|
|
1751
|
-
|
|
1752
|
-
#### Filesystem Access
|
|
1753
|
-
|
|
1754
|
-
- `path_exists(path)` - Returns `true` if the path points at an existing entity
|
|
1755
|
-
and `false` otherwise. Traverses symbolic links, and returns `false` if the
|
|
1756
|
-
path is inaccessible or points to a broken symlink.
|
|
1757
|
-
|
|
1758
|
-
##### Error Reporting
|
|
1759
|
-
|
|
1760
|
-
- `error(message)` - Abort execution and report error `message` to user.
|
|
1761
|
-
|
|
1762
|
-
#### UUID and Hash Generation
|
|
1763
|
-
|
|
1764
|
-
- `blake3(string)`<sup>1.25.0</sup> - Return [BLAKE3] hash of `string` as hexadecimal string.
|
|
1765
|
-
- `blake3_file(path)`<sup>1.25.0</sup> - Return [BLAKE3] hash of file at `path` as hexadecimal
|
|
1766
|
-
string.
|
|
1767
|
-
- `sha256(string)` - Return the SHA-256 hash of `string` as hexadecimal string.
|
|
1768
|
-
- `sha256_file(path)` - Return SHA-256 hash of file at `path` as hexadecimal
|
|
1769
|
-
string.
|
|
1770
|
-
- `uuid()` - Generate a random version 4 UUID.

|
|
1774
|
-
#### Random
|
|
1775
|
-
|
|
1776
|
-
- `choose(n, alphabet)`<sup>1.27.0</sup> - Generate a string of `n` randomly
|
|
1777
|
-
selected characters from `alphabet`, which may not contain repeated
|
|
1778
|
-
characters. For example, `choose('64', HEX)` will generate a random
|
|
1779
|
-
64-character lowercase hex string.
|
|
1780
|
-
|
|
1781
|
-
#### Datetime
|
|
1782
|
-
|

- `datetime_utc(format)`<sup>1.30.0</sup> - Return UTC time with `format`.
|
|
1785
|
-
|

-
The arguments to `datetime` and `datetime_utc` are `strftime`-style format
|
|
1787
|
-
strings, see the

#### Semantic Versions
|
|
1792
|
-
|
|
1793
|
-
- `semver_matches(version, requirement)`<sup>1.16.0</sup> - Check whether a
|
|
1794
|
-
[semantic `version`](https://semver.org), e.g., `"0.1.0"` matches a
|
|
1795
|
-
`requirement`, e.g., `">=0.1.0"`, returning `"true"` if so and `"false"`
|
|
1796
|

##### XDG Directories<sup>1.23.0</sup>
|
|
1799
|
-
|
|
1800
|
-
These functions return paths to user-specific directories for things like
|
|
1801
|
-
configuration, data, caches, executables, and the user's home directory. These
|
|
1802
|
-
functions follow the
|
|
1803
|
-
[XDG Base Directory Specification](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html),
|
|
1804
|
-
and are implemented with the
|
|
1805
|
-
[`dirs`](https://docs.rs/dirs/latest/dirs/index.html) crate.
|
|
1806
|
-
|
|
1807
|
-
- `cache_directory()` - The user-specific cache directory.
|
|
1808
|
-
- `config_directory()` - The user-specific configuration directory.
|
|
1809
|
-
- `config_local_directory()` - The local user-specific configuration directory.
|
|
1810
|
-
- `data_directory()` - The user-specific data directory.
|
|
1811
|
-
- `data_local_directory()` - The local user-specific data directory.
|
|
1812
|
-
- `executable_directory()` - The user-specific executable directory.
|
|
1813
|
-
- `home_directory()` - The user's home directory.

A recipe can have multiple attributes, either on multiple lines:
|
|
1859
|
-
|
|
1860
|
-
```just
|
|
1861
|
-
[no-cd]
|
|
1862
|
-
[private]
|
|
1863
|
-
foo:
|
|
1864
|
-
echo "foo"
|
|
1865
|
-
```
|
|
1866
|
-
|
|
1867
|
-
Or separated by commas on a single line<sup>1.14.0</sup>:
|
|
1868
|
-
|
|
1869
|
-
```just
|
|
1870
|
-
[no-cd, private]
|
|
1871
|
-
foo:
|
|
1872
|
-
echo "foo"
|
|
1873
|
-
```
|
|
1874
|
-
|
|
1875
|
-
#### Enabling and Disabling Recipes<sup>1.8.0</sup>
|
|
1876
|
-
|
|
1877
|
-
The `[linux]`, `[macos]`, `[unix]`, and `[windows]` attributes are
|
|
1878
|
-
configuration attributes. By default, recipes are always enabled. A recipe with
|
|
1879
|
-
one or more configuration attributes will only be enabled when one or more of
|
|
1880
|
-
those configurations is active.
|
|
1881
|
-
|
|
1882
|
-
This can be used to write `justfile`s that behave differently depending on
|
|
1883
|
-
which operating system they run on. The `run` recipe in this `justfile` will
|
|
1884
|
-
compile and run `main.c`, using a different C compiler and using the correct
|
|
1885
|
-
output binary name for that compiler depending on the operating system:
|
|
1886
|
-
|
|
1887
|
-
```just
|
|
1888
|
-
[unix]
|
|
1889
|
-
run:
|
|
1890
|
-
cc main.c
|
|
1891
|
-
./a.out
|
|
1892
|
-
|
|
1893
|
-
[windows]
|
|
1894
|
-
run:
|
|
1895
|
-
cl main.c
|
|
1896
|
-
main.exe
|
|
1897
|
-
```
|
|
1898
|
-
|
|
1899
|
-
#### Disabling Changing Directory<sup>1.9.0</sup>
|
|
1900
|
-
|
|
1901
|
-
`just` normally executes recipes with the current directory set to the
|
|
1902
|
-
directory that contains the `justfile`. This can be disabled using the
|
|
1903
|
-
`[no-cd]` attribute. This can be used to create recipes which use paths
|
|
1904
|
-
relative to the invocation directory, or which operate on the current
|
|
1905
|
-
directory.
|
|
1906
|
-
|
|
1907
|
-
For example, this `commit` recipe:
|
|
1908
|
-
|
|
1909
|
-
```just
|
|
1910
|
-
[no-cd]
|
|
1911
|
-
commit file:
|
|
1912
|
-
git add {{file}}
|
|
1913
|
-
git commit
|
|
1914
|
-
```
|
|
1915
|
-
|
|
1916
|
-
Can be used with paths that are relative to the current directory, because
|
|
1917
|
-
`[no-cd]` prevents `just` from changing the current directory when executing
|
|
1918
|
-
`commit`.
|
|
1919
|
-
|
|
1920
|
-
#### Requiring Confirmation for Recipes<sup>1.17.0</sup>
|
|
1921
|
-
|
|
1922
|
-
`just` normally executes all recipes unless there is an error. The `[confirm]`
|
|
1923
|
-
attribute allows recipes require confirmation in the terminal prior to running.
|
|
1924
|
-
This can be overridden by passing `--yes` to `just`, which will automatically
|
|
1925
|
-
confirm any recipes marked by this attribute.
|
|
1926
|
-
|
|
1927
|
-
Recipes dependent on a recipe that requires confirmation will not be run if the
|
|
1928
|
-
relied upon recipe is not confirmed, as well as recipes passed after any recipe
|
|
1929
|
-
that requires confirmation.
|
|
1930
|
-
|
|
1931
|
-
```just
|
|
1932
|
-
[confirm]
|
|
1933
|
-
delete-all:
|
|
1934
|
-
rm -rf *
|
|
1935
|
-
```
|
|
1936
|
-
|
|
1937
|
-
#### Custom Confirmation Prompt<sup>1.23.0</sup>
|
|
1938
|
-
|
|
1939
|
-
The default confirmation prompt can be overridden with `[confirm(PROMPT)]`:
|
|
1940
|
-
|
|
1941
|
-
```just
|
|
1942
|
-
[confirm("Are you sure you want to delete everything?")]
|
|
1943
|
-
delete-everything:
|
|
1944
|
-
rm -rf *
|
|
1945
|
-
```
|
|
1946
|
-
|
|
1947
|
-
### Groups
|
|
1948
|
-
|
|
1949
|
-
Recipes and modules may be annotated with a group name:
|
|
1950
|
-
|
|
1951
|
-
```just
|
|
1952
|
-
[group('lint')]
|
|
1953
|
-
js-lint:
|
|
1954
|
-
echo 'Running JS linter…'
|
|
1955

|
|
1968
|

```
|
|
1969
|
-
|
|
1970
|

2005
|
-
```
|
|
2006
|

```
|
|
2011
|

### Command Evaluation Using Backticks
|
|
2015
|
-
|
|
2016
|
-
Backticks can be used to store the result of commands:
|
|
2017
|
-
|
|
2018
|
-
```just
|
|
2019
|
-
localhost := `dumpinterfaces | cut -d: -f2 | sed 's/\/.*//' | sed 's/ //g'`
|
|
2020
|
-
|
|
2021
|
-
serve:
|
|
2022
|
-
./serve {{localhost}} 8080
|
|
2023
|
-
```
|
|
2024
|
-
|
|
2025
|
-
Indented backticks, delimited by three backticks, are de-indented in the same
|
|
2026
|
-
manner as indented strings:
|
|
2027
|
-
|
|
2028
|
-
````just
|
|
2029
|
-
# This backtick evaluates the command `echo foo\necho bar\n`, which produces the value `foo\nbar\n`.
|
|
2030
|
-
stuff := ```
|
|
2031
|
-
echo foo
|
|
2032
|
-
echo bar
|
|
2033
|
-
```
|
|
2034
|
-
````
|
|
2035
|
-
|
|
2036
|
-
See the [Strings](#strings) section for details on unindenting.
|
|
2037
|
-
|
|
2038
|
-
Backticks may not start with `#!`. This syntax is reserved for a future
|
|
2039
|
-
upgrade.
|
|
2040
|
-
|
|
2041
|
-
### Conditional Expressions
|
|
2042
|
-
|
|
2043
|
-
`if`/`else` expressions evaluate different branches depending on if two
|
|
2044
|
-
expressions evaluate to the same value:
|
|
2045
|
-
|
|
2046
|
-
```just
|
|
2047
|
-
foo := if "2" == "2" { "Good!" } else { "1984" }
|
|
2048
|
-
|
|
2049
|
-
bar:
|
|
2050
|
-
@echo "{{foo}}"
|
|
2051
|
-
```
|
|
2052
|
-
|
|
2053
|
-
```console
|
|
2054
|
-
$ just bar
|
|
2055
|
-
Good!
|
|
2056
|
-
```
|
|
2057
|
-
|
|
2058
|
-
It is also possible to test for inequality:
|
|
2059
|
-
|
|
2060
|
-
```just
|
|
2061
|
-
foo := if "hello" != "goodbye" { "xyz" } else { "abc" }
|
|
2062
|
-
|
|
2063
|
-
bar:
|
|
2064
|
-
@echo {{foo}}
|
|
2065
|
-
```
|
|
2066
|
-
|
|
2067
|
-
```console
|
|
2068
|
-
$ just bar
|
|
2069
|
-
xyz
|
|
2070
|
-
```
|
|
2071
|
-
|
|
2072
|
-
And match against regular expressions:
|
|
2073
|
-
|
|
2074
|
-
```just
|
|
2075
|
-
foo := if "hello" =~ 'hel+o' { "match" } else { "mismatch" }
|
|
2076
|
-
|
|
2077
|
-
bar:
|
|
2078
|
-
@echo {{foo}}
|
|
2079
|
-
```
|
|
2080
|
-
|
|
2081
|
-
```console
|
|
2082
|
-
$ just bar
|
|
2083
|
-
match
|
|
2084
|
-
```
|
|
2085
|

Regular expressions are provided by the
|
|
2087
|
-
[regex crate](https://github.com/rust-lang/regex), whose syntax is documented on
|
|
2088
|
-
[docs.rs](https://docs.rs/regex/1.5.4/regex/#syntax). Since regular expressions
|
|
2089
|
-
commonly use backslash escape sequences, consider using single-quoted string
|
|
2090
|
-
literals, which will pass slashes to the regex parser unmolested.
|
|
2091
|
-
|
|
2092
|
-
Conditional expressions short-circuit, which means they only evaluate one of
|
|
2093
|
-
their branches. This can be used to make sure that backtick expressions don't
|
|
2094
|
-
run when they shouldn't.
|
|
2095
|
-
|
|
2096
|
-
```just
|
|
2097
|
-
foo := if env_var("RELEASE") == "true" { `get-something-from-release-database` } else { "dummy-value" }
|
|
2098
|
-
```
|
|
2099
|
-
|
|
2100
|
-
Conditionals can be used inside of recipes:
|
|
2101
|
-
|
|
2102
|
-
```just
|
|
2103
|
-
bar foo:
|
|
2104
|
-
echo {{ if foo == "bar" { "hello" } else { "goodbye" } }}
|
|
2105
|
-
```
|
|
2106
|
-
|
|
2107
|
-
Note the space after the final `}`! Without the space, the interpolation will
|
|
2108
|
-
be prematurely closed.
|
|
2109
|
-
|
|
2110
|
-
Multiple conditionals can be chained:
|
|
2111
|
-
|
|
2112
|
-
```just
|
|
2113
|
-
foo := if "hello" == "goodbye" {
|
|
2114
|
-
"xyz"
|
|
2115
|
-
} else if "a" == "a" {
|
|
2116
|
-
"abc"
|
|
2117
|
-
} else {
|
|
2118
|
-
"123"
|
|
2119
|
-
}
|
|
2120
|
-
|
|
2121
|
-
bar:
|
|
2122
|
-
@echo {{foo}}
|
|
2123
|
-
```
|
|
2124
|
-
|
|
2125
|
-
```console
|
|
2126
|
-
$ just bar
|
|
2127
|
-
abc
|
|
2128
|
-
```
|
|
2129
|
-
|
|
2130
|
-
### Stopping execution with error
|
|
2131
|
-
|
|
2132
|
-
Execution can be halted with the `error` function. For example:
|
|
2133
|
-
|
|
2134
|
-
```just
|
|
2135
|
-
foo := if "hello" == "goodbye" {
|
|
2136
|
-
"xyz"
|
|
2137
|
-
} else if "a" == "b" {
|
|
2138
|
-
"abc"
|
|
2139
|
-
} else {
|
|
2140
|
-
error("123")
|
|
2141
|
-
}
|
|
2142
|
-
```
|
|
2143
|
-
|
|
2144
|
-
Which produce the following error when run:
|
|
2145
|
-
|
|
2146
|
-
```
|
|
2147
|
-
error: Call to function `error` failed: 123
|
|
2148
|
-
|
|
|
2149
|
-
16 | error("123")
|
|
2150
|
-
```
|
|
2151
|
-
|
|
2152
|
-
### Setting Variables from the Command Line
|
|
2153
|
-
|
|
2154
|
-
Variables can be overridden from the command line.
|
|
2155
|
-
|
|
2156
|
-
```just
|
|
2157
|
-
os := "linux"
|
|
2158
|
-
|
|
2159
|
-
test: build
|
|
2160
|
-
./test --test {{os}}
|
|
2161
|
-
|
|
2162
|
-
build:
|
|
2163
|
-
./build {{os}}
|
|
2164
|
-
```
|
|
2165
|
-
|
|
2166
|
-
```console
|
|
2167
|
-
$ just
|
|
2168
|
-
./build linux
|
|
2169
|
-
./test --test linux
|
|
2170
|
-
```
|
|
2171
|
-
|
|
2172
|
-
Any number of arguments of the form `NAME=VALUE` can be passed before recipes:
|
|
2173
|
-
|
|
2174
|
-
```console
|
|
2175
|
-
$ just os=plan9
|
|
2176
|
-
./build plan9
|
|
2177
|
-
./test --test plan9
|
|
2178
|
-
```
|
|
2179
|
-
|
|
2180
|
-
Or you can use the `--set` flag:
|
|
2181
|
-
|
|
2182
|
-
```console
|
|
2183
|
-
$ just --set os bsd
|
|
2184
|
-
./build bsd
|
|
2185
|
-
./test --test bsd
|
|
2186
|
-
```
|
|
2187
|
-
|
|
2188
|
-
### Getting and Setting Environment Variables
|
|
2189
|
-
|
|
2190
|
-
#### Exporting `just` Variables
|
|
2191
|
-
|
|
2192
|
-
Assignments prefixed with the `export` keyword will be exported to recipes as
|
|
2193
|
-
environment variables:
|
|
2194
|
-
|
|
2195
|
-
```just
|
|
2196
|
-
export RUST_BACKTRACE := "1"
|
|
2197
|
-
|
|
2198
|
-
test:
|
|
2199
|
-
# will print a stack trace if it crashes
|
|
2200
|
-
cargo test
|
|
2201
|
-
```
|
|
2202
|
-
|
|
2203
|
-
Parameters prefixed with a `$` will be exported as environment variables:
|
|
2204
|
-
|
|
2205
|
-
```just
|
|
2206
|
-
test $RUST_BACKTRACE="1":
|
|
2207
|
-
# will print a stack trace if it crashes
|
|
2208
|
-
cargo test
|
|
2209
|
-
```
|
|
2210
|
-
|
|
2211
|
-
Exported variables and parameters are not exported to backticks in the same scope.
|
|
2212
|
-
|
|
2213
|
-
```just
|
|
2214
|
-
export WORLD := "world"
|
|
2215
|
-
# This backtick will fail with "WORLD: unbound variable"
|
|
2216
|
-
BAR := `echo hello $WORLD`
|
|
2217
|
-
```
|
|
2218
|
-
|
|
2219
|
-
```just
|
|
2220
|
-
# Running `just a foo` will fail with "A: unbound variable"
|
|
2221
|
-
a $A $B=`echo $A`:
|
|
2222
|
-
echo $A $B
|
|
2223
|
-
```
|
|
2224
|
-
|
|
2225
|
-
When [export](#export) is set, all `just` variables are exported as environment
|
|
2226
|
-
variables.
|
|
2227
|
-
|
|
2228
|
-
#### Unexporting Environment Variables<sup>1.29.0</sup>
|
|
2229
|
-
|
|
2230
|
-
Environment variables can be unexported with the `unexport keyword`:
|
|
2231
|
-
|
|
2232
|
-
```just
|
|
2233
|
-
unexport FOO
|
|
2234
|
-
|
|
2235
|
-
@foo:
|
|
2236
|
-
echo $FOO
|
|
2237
|
-
```
|
|
2238
|
-
|
|
2239
|
-
```
|
|
2240
|
-
$ export FOO=bar
|
|
2241
|
-
$ just foo
|
|
2242
|
-
sh: FOO: unbound variable
|
|
2243
|
-
```
|
|
2244
|
-
|
|
2245
|
-
#### Getting Environment Variables from the environment
|
|
2246
|
-
|
|
2247
|
-
Environment variables from the environment are passed automatically to the
|
|
2248
|
-
recipes.
|
|
2249
|
-
|
|
2250
|
-
```just
|
|
2251
|
-
print_home_folder:
|
|
2252
|
-
echo "HOME is: '${HOME}'"
|
|
2253
|
-
```
|
|
2254
|
-
|
|
2255
|
-
```console
|
|
2256
|
-
$ just
|
|
2257
|
-
HOME is '/home/myuser'
|
|
2258
|
-
```
|
|
2259
|
-
|
|
2260
|
-
#### Setting `just` Variables from Environment Variables
|
|
2261
|
-
|
|
2262
|
-
Environment variables can be propagated to `just` variables using the functions
|
|
2263
|
-
`env_var()` and `env_var_or_default()`. See
|
|
2264
|
-
[environment-variables](#environment-variables).
|
|
2265
|
-
|
|
2266
|
-
### Recipe Parameters
|
|
2267
|
-
|
|
2268
|
-
Recipes may have parameters. Here recipe `build` has a parameter called
|
|
2269
|
-
`target`:
|
|
2270
|
-
|
|
2271
|
-
```just
|
|
2272
|
-
build target:
|
|
2273
|
-
@echo 'Building {{target}}…'
|
|
2274
|
-
cd {{target}} && make
|
|
2275
|
-
```
|
|
2276
|
-
|
|
2277
|
-
To pass arguments on the command line, put them after the recipe name:
|
|
2278
|
-
|
|
2279
|
-
```console
|
|
2280
|
-
$ just build my-awesome-project
|
|
2281
|
-
Building my-awesome-project…
|
|
2282
|
-
cd my-awesome-project && make
|
|
2283
|
-
```
|
|
2284
|
-
|
|
2285
|
-
To pass arguments to a dependency, put the dependency in parentheses along with
|
|
2286
|
-
the arguments:
|
|
2287
|
-
|
|
2288
|
-
```just
|
|
2289
|
-
default: (build "main")
|
|
2290
|
-
|
|
2291
|
-
build target:
|
|
2292
|
-
@echo 'Building {{target}}…'
|
|
2293
|
-
cd {{target}} && make
|
|
2294
|
-
```
|
|
2295
|
-
|
|
2296
|
-
Variables can also be passed as arguments to dependencies:
|
|
2297
|
-
|
|
2298
|
-
```just
|
|
2299
|
-
target := "main"
|
|
2300
|
-
|
|
2301
|
-
_build version:
|
|
2302
|
-
@echo 'Building {{version}}…'
|
|
2303
|
-
cd {{version}} && make
|
|
2304
|
-
|
|
2305
|
-
build: (_build target)
|
|
2306
|
-
```
|
|
2307
|
-
|
|
2308
|
-
A command's arguments can be passed to dependency by putting the dependency in
|
|
2309
|
-
parentheses along with the arguments:
|
|
2310
|
-
|
|
2311
|
-
```just
|
|
2312
|
-
build target:
|
|
2313
|
-
@echo "Building {{target}}…"
|
|
2314
|
-
|
|
2315
|
-
push target: (build target)
|
|
2316
|
-
@echo 'Pushing {{target}}…'
|
|
2317
|
-
```
|
|
2318
|
-
|
|
2319
|
-
Parameters may have default values:
|
|
2320
|
-
|
|
2321
|
-
```just
|
|
2322
|
-
default := 'all'
|
|
2323
|
-
|
|
2324
|
-
test target tests=default:
|
|
2325
|
-
@echo 'Testing {{target}}:{{tests}}…'
|
|
2326
|
-
./test --tests {{tests}} {{target}}
|
|
2327
|
-
```
|
|
2328
|
-
|
|
2329
|
-
Parameters with default values may be omitted:
|
|
2330
|
-
|
|
2331
|
-
```console
|
|
2332
|
-
$ just test server
|
|
2333
|
-
Testing server:all…
|
|
2334
|
-
./test --tests all server
|
|
2335
|
-
```
|
|
2336
|
-
|
|
2337
|
-
Or supplied:
|
|
2338
|
-
|
|
2339
|
-
```console
|
|
2340
|
-
$ just test server unit
|
|
2341
|
-
Testing server:unit…
|
|
2342
|
-
./test --tests unit server
|
|
2343
|
-
```
|
|
2344
|
-
|
|
2345
|
-
Default values may be arbitrary expressions, but concatenations or path joins
|
|
2346
|
-
must be parenthesized:
|
|
2347
|
-
|
|
2348
|
-
```just
|
|
2349
|
-
arch := "wasm"
|
|
2350
|
-
|
|
2351
|
-
test triple=(arch + "-unknown-unknown") input=(arch / "input.dat"):
|
|
2352
|
-
./test {{triple}}
|
|
2353
|
-
```
|
|
2354
|
-
|
|
2355
|
-
The last parameter of a recipe may be variadic, indicated with either a `+` or
|
|
2356
|
-
a `*` before the argument name:
|
|
2357
|
-
|
|
2358
|
-
```just
|
|
2359
|
-
backup +FILES:
|
|
2360
|
-
scp {{FILES}} me@server.com:
|
|
2361
|
-
```
|
|
2362
|
-
|
|
2363
|
-
Variadic parameters prefixed with `+` accept _one or more_ arguments and expand
|
|
2364
|
-
to a string containing those arguments separated by spaces:
|
|
2365
|
-
|
|
2366
|
-
```console
|
|
2367
|
-
$ just backup FAQ.md GRAMMAR.md
|
|
2368
|
-
scp FAQ.md GRAMMAR.md me@server.com:
|
|
2369
|
-
FAQ.md 100% 1831 1.8KB/s 00:00
|
|
2370
|
-
GRAMMAR.md 100% 1666 1.6KB/s 00:00
|
|
2371
|
-
```
|
|
2372
|
-
|
|
2373
|
-
Variadic parameters prefixed with `*` accept _zero or more_ arguments and
|
|
2374
|
-
expand to a string containing those arguments separated by spaces, or an empty
|
|
2375
|
-
string if no arguments are present:
|
|
2376
|
-
|
|
2377
|
-
```just
|
|
2378
|
-
commit MESSAGE *FLAGS:
|
|
2379
|
-
git commit {{FLAGS}} -m "{{MESSAGE}}"
|
|
2380
|
-
```
|
|
2381
|
-
|
|
2382
|
-
Variadic parameters can be assigned default values. These are overridden by
|
|
2383
|
-
arguments passed on the command line:
|
|
2384
|
-
|
|
2385
|
-
```just
|
|
2386
|
-
test +FLAGS='-q':
|
|
2387
|
-
cargo test {{FLAGS}}
|
|
2388
|
-
```
|
|
2389
|
-
|
|
2390
|
-
`{{…}}` substitutions may need to be quoted if they contain spaces. For
|
|
2391
|
-
example, if you have the following recipe:
|
|
2392
|
-
|
|
2393
|
-
```just
|
|
2394
|
-
search QUERY:
|
|
2395
|
-
lynx https://www.google.com/?q={{QUERY}}
|
|
2396
|
-
```
|
|
2397
|
-
|
|
2398
|
-
And you type:
|
|
2399
|
-
|
|
2400
|
-
```console
|
|
2401
|
-
$ just search "cat toupee"
|
|
2402
|
-
```
|
|
2403
|
-
|
|
2404
|
-
`just` will run the command `lynx https://www.google.com/?q=cat toupee`, which
|
|
2405
|
-
will get parsed by `sh` as `lynx`, `https://www.google.com/?q=cat`, and
|
|
2406
|
-
`toupee`, and not the intended `lynx` and `https://www.google.com/?q=cat toupee`.
|
|
2407
|
-
|
|
2408
|
-
You can fix this by adding quotes:
|
|
2409
|
-
|
|
2410
|
-
```just
|
|
2411
|
-
search QUERY:
|
|
2412
|
-
lynx 'https://www.google.com/?q={{QUERY}}'
|
|
2413
|
-
```
|
|
2414
|
-
|
|
2415
|
-
Parameters prefixed with a `$` will be exported as environment variables:
|
|
2416
|
-
|
|
2417
|
-
```just
|
|
2418
|
-
foo $bar:
|
|
2419
|
-
echo $bar
|
|
2420
|
-
```
|
|
2421
|
-
|
|
2422
|
-
### Dependencies
|
|
2423
|
-
|
|
2424
|
-
Dependencies run before recipes that depend on them:
|
|
2425
|
-
|
|
2426
|
-
```just
|
|
2427
|
-
a: b
|
|
2428
|
-
@echo A
|
|
2429
|
-
|
|
2430
|
-
b:
|
|
2431
|
-
@echo B
|
|
2432
|
-
```
|
|
2433
|
-
|
|
2434
|
-
```
|
|
2435
|
-
$ just a
|
|
2436
|
-
B
|
|
2437
|
-
A
|
|
2438
|
-
```
|
|
2439
|
-
|
|
2440
|
-
In a given invocation of `just`, a recipe with the same arguments will only run
|
|
2441
|
-
once, regardless of how many times it appears in the command-line invocation,
|
|
2442
|
-
or how many times it appears as a dependency:
|
|
2443
|
-
|
|
2444
|
-
```just
|
|
2445
|
-
a:
|
|
2446
|
-
@echo A
|
|
2447
|
-
|
|
2448
|
-
b: a
|
|
2449
|
-
@echo B
|
|
2450
|
-
|
|
2451
|
-
c: a
|
|
2452
|
-
@echo C
|
|
2453
|
-
```
|
|
2454
|
-
|
|
2455
|
-
```
|
|
2456
|
-
$ just a a a a a
|
|
2457
|
-
A
|
|
2458
|
-
$ just b c
|
|
2459
|
-
A
|
|
2460
|
-
B
|
|
2461
|
-
C
|
|
2462
|
-
```
|
|
2463
|
-
|
|
2464
|
-
Multiple recipes may depend on a recipe that performs some kind of setup, and
|
|
2465
|
-
when those recipes run, that setup will only be performed once:
|
|
2466
|
-
|
|
2467
|
-
```just
|
|
2468
|
-
build:
|
|
2469
|
-
cc main.c
|
|
2470
|
-
|
|
2471
|
-
test-foo: build
|
|
2472
|
-
./a.out --test foo
|
|
2473
|
-
|
|
2474
|
-
test-bar: build
|
|
2475
|
-
./a.out --test bar
|
|
2476
|
-
```
|
|
2477
|
-
|
|
2478
|
-
```
|
|
2479
|
-
$ just test-foo test-bar
|
|
2480
|
-
cc main.c
|
|
2481
|
-
./a.out --test foo
|
|
2482
|
-
./a.out --test bar
|
|
2483
|
-
```
|
|
2484
|
-
|
|
2485
|
-
Recipes in a given run are only skipped when they receive the same arguments:
|
|
2486
|
-
|
|
2487
|
-
```just
|
|
2488
|
-
build:
|
|
2489
|
-
cc main.c
|
|
2490
|
-
|
|
2491
|
-
test TEST: build
|
|
2492
|
-
./a.out --test {{TEST}}
|
|
2493
|
-
```
|
|
2494
|
-
|
|
2495
|
-
```
|
|
2496
|
-
$ just test foo test bar
|
|
2497
|
-
cc main.c
|
|
2498
|
-
./a.out --test foo
|
|
2499
|
-
./a.out --test bar
|
|
2500
|
-
```
|
|
2501
|
-
|
|
2502
|
-
#### Running Recipes at the End of a Recipe
|
|
2503
|
-
|
|
2504
|
-
Normal dependencies of a recipes always run before a recipe starts. That is to
|
|
2505
|
-
say, the dependee always runs before the depender. These dependencies are
|
|
2506
|
-
called "prior dependencies".
|
|
2507
|
-
|
|
2508
|
-
A recipe can also have subsequent dependencies, which run immediately after the
|
|
2509
|
-
recipe and are introduced with an `&&`:
|
|
2510
|
-
|
|
2511
|
-
```just
|
|
2512
|
-
a:
|
|
2513
|
-
echo 'A!'
|
|
2514
|
-
|
|
2515
|
-
b: a && c d
|
|
2516
|
-
echo 'B!'
|
|
2517
|
-
|
|
2518
|
-
c:
|
|
2519
|
-
echo 'C!'
|
|
2520
|
-
|
|
2521
|
-
d:
|
|
2522
|
-
echo 'D!'
|
|
2523
|
-
```
|
|
2524
|
-
|
|
2525
|
-
…running _b_ prints:
|
|
2526
|
-
|
|
2527
|
-
```console
|
|
2528
|
-
$ just b
|
|
2529
|
-
echo 'A!'
|
|
2530
|
-
A!
|
|
2531
|
-
echo 'B!'
|
|
2532
|
-
B!
|
|
2533
|
-
echo 'C!'
|
|
2534
|
-
C!
|
|
2535
|
-
echo 'D!'
|
|
2536
|
-
D!
|
|
2537
|
-
```
|
|
2538
|
-
|
|
2539
|
-
#### Running Recipes in the Middle of a Recipe
|
|
2540
|
-
|
|
2541
|
-
`just` doesn't support running recipes in the middle of another recipe, but you
|
|
2542
|
-
can call `just` recursively in the middle of a recipe. Given the following
|
|
2543
|
-
`justfile`:
|
|
2544
|
-
|
|
2545
|
-
```just
|
|
2546
|
-
a:
|
|
2547
|
-
echo 'A!'
|
|
2548
|
-
|
|
2549
|
-
b: a
|
|
2550
|
-
echo 'B start!'
|
|
2551
|
-
just c
|
|
2552
|
-
echo 'B end!'
|
|
2553
|
-
|
|
2554
|
-
c:
|
|
2555
|
-
echo 'C!'
|
|
2556
|
-
```
|
|
2557
|
-
|
|
2558
|
-
…running _b_ prints:
|
|
2559
|
-
|
|
2560
|
-
```console
|
|
2561
|
-
$ just b
|
|
2562
|
-
echo 'A!'
|
|
2563
|
-
A!
|
|
2564
|
-
echo 'B start!'
|
|
2565
|
-
B start!
|
|
2566
|
-
echo 'C!'
|
|
2567
|
-
C!
|
|
2568
|
-
echo 'B end!'
|
|
2569
|
-
B end!
|
|
2570
|
-
```
|
|
2571
|
-
|
|
2572
|
-
This has limitations, since recipe `c` is run with an entirely new invocation
|
|
2573
|
-
of `just`: Assignments will be recalculated, dependencies might run twice, and
|
|
2574
|
-
command line arguments will not be propagated to the child `just` process.
|
|
2575
|
-
|
|
2576
|
-
### Shebang Recipes
|
|
2577
|
-
|
|
2578
|
-
Recipes that start with `#!` are called shebang recipes, and are executed by
|
|
2579
|
-
saving the recipe body to a file and running it. This lets you write recipes in
|
|
2580
|
-
different languages:
|
|
2581
|
-
|
|
2582
|
-
```just
|
|
2583
|
-
polyglot: python js perl sh ruby nu
|
|
2584
|
-
|
|
2585
|
-
python:
|
|
2586
|
-
#!/usr/bin/env python3
|
|
2587
|
-
print('Hello from python!')
|
|
2588
|
-
|
|
2589
|
-
js:
|
|
2590
|
-
#!/usr/bin/env node
|
|
2591
|
-
console.log('Greetings from JavaScript!')
|
|
2592
|
-
|
|
2593
|
-
perl:
|
|
2594
|
-
#!/usr/bin/env perl
|
|
2595
|
-
print "Larry Wall says Hi!\n";
|
|
2596
|
-
|
|
2597
|
-
sh:
|
|
2598
|
-
#!/usr/bin/env sh
|
|
2599
|
-
hello='Yo'
|
|
2600
|
-
echo "$hello from a shell script!"
|
|
2601
|
-
|
|
2602
|
-
nu:
|
|
2603
|
-
#!/usr/bin/env nu
|
|
2604
|
-
let hello = 'Hola'
|
|
2605
|
-
echo $"($hello) from a nushell script!"
|
|
2606
|
-
|
|
2607
|
-
ruby:
|
|
2608
|
-
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
|
|
2609
|
-
puts "Hello from ruby!"
|
|
2610
|
-
```
|
|
2611
|
-
|
|
2612
|
-
```console
|
|
2613
|
-
$ just polyglot
|
|
2614
|
-
Hello from python!
|
|
2615
|
-
Greetings from JavaScript!
|
|
2616
|
-
Larry Wall says Hi!
|
|
2617
|
-
Yo from a shell script!
|
|
2618
|
-
Hola from a nushell script!
|
|
2619
|
-
Hello from ruby!
|
|
2620
|
-
```
|
|
2621
|
-
|
|
2622
|
-
On Unix-like operating systems, including Linux and MacOS, shebang recipes are
|
|
2623
|
-
executed by saving the recipe body to a file in a temporary directory, marking
|
|
2624
|
-
the file as executable, and executing it. The OS then parses the shebang line
|
|
2625
|
-
into a command line and invokes it, including the path to the file. For
|
|
2626
|
-
example, if a recipe starts with `#!/usr/bin/env bash`, the final command that
|
|
2627
|
-
the OS runs will be something like `/usr/bin/env bash
|
|
2628
|
-
/tmp/PATH_TO_SAVED_RECIPE_BODY`.
|
|
2629
|
-
|
|
2630
|
-
Shebang line splitting is operating system dependent. When passing a command
|
|
2631
|
-
with arguments, you may need to tell `env` to split them explicitly by using
|
|
2632
|
-
the `-S` flag:
|
|
2633
|
-
|
|
2634
|
-
```just
|
|
2635
|
-
run:
|
|
2636
|
-
#!/usr/bin/env -S bash -x
|
|
2637
|
-
ls
|
|
2638
|
-
```
|
|
2639
|
-
|
|
2640
|
-
Windows does not support shebang lines. On Windows, `just` splits the shebang
|
|
2641
|
-
line into a command and arguments, saves the recipe body to a file, and invokes
|
|
2642
|
-
the split command and arguments, adding the path to the saved recipe body as
|
|
2643
|
-
the final argument. For example, on Windows, if a recipe starts with `#! py`,
|
|
2644
|
-
the final command the OS runs will be something like
|
|
2645
|
-
`py C:\Temp\PATH_TO_SAVED_RECIPE_BODY`.
|
|
2646
|
-
|
|
2647
|
-
### Script Recipes
|
|
2648
|
-
|
|
2649
|
-
Recipes with a `[script(COMMAND)]`<sup>1.32.0</sup> attribute are run as
|
|
2650
|
-
scripts interpreted by `COMMAND`. This avoids some of the issues with shebang
|
|
2651
|
-
recipes, such as the use of `cygpath` on Windows, the need to use
|
|
2652
|
-
`/usr/bin/env`, and inconsistences in shebang line splitting across Unix OSs.
|
|
2653
|
-
|
|
2654
|
-
Recipes with an empty `[script]` attribute are executed with the value of
|
|
2655
|
-
`set script-interpreter := […]`<sup>1.33.0</sup>, defaulting to `sh -eu`.
|
|
2656
|
-
|
|
2657
|
-
The body of the recipe is evaluated, written to disk in the temporary
|
|
2658
|
-
directory, and run by passing its path as an argument to `COMMAND`.
|
|
2659
|
-
|
|
2660
|
-
The `[script(…)]` attribute is unstable, so you'll need to use `set unstable`,
|
|
2661
|
-
set the `JUST_UNSTABLE` environment variable, or pass `--unstable` on the
|
|
2662
|
-
command line.
|
|
2663
|
-
|
|
2664
|
-
### Safer Bash Shebang Recipes
|
|
2665
|
-
|
|
2666
|
-
If you're writing a `bash` shebang recipe, consider adding `set -euxo
|
|
2667
|
-
pipefail`:
|
|
2668
|
-
|
|
2669
|
-
```just
|
|
2670
|
-
foo:
|
|
2671
|
-
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
|
2672
|
-
set -euxo pipefail
|
|
2673
|
-
hello='Yo'
|
|
2674
|
-
echo "$hello from Bash!"
|
|
2675
|
-
```
|
|
2676
|
-
|
|
2677
|
-
It isn't strictly necessary, but `set -euxo pipefail` turns on a few useful
|
|
2678
|
-
features that make `bash` shebang recipes behave more like normal, linewise
|
|
2679
|
-
`just` recipe:
|
|
2680
|
-
|
|
2681
|
-
- `set -e` makes `bash` exit if a command fails.
|
|
2682
|
-
|
|
2683
|
-
- `set -u` makes `bash` exit if a variable is undefined.
|
|
2684
|
-
|
|
2685
|
-
- `set -x` makes `bash` print each script line before it's run.
|
|
2686
|
-
|
|
2687
|
-
- `set -o pipefail` makes `bash` exit if a command in a pipeline fails. This is
|
|
2688
|
-
`bash`-specific, so isn't turned on in normal linewise `just` recipes.
|
|
2689
|
-
|
|
2690
|
-
Together, these avoid a lot of shell scripting gotchas.
|
|
2691
|
-
|
|
2692
|
-
#### Shebang Recipe Execution on Windows
|
|
2693
|
-
|
|
2694
|
-
On Windows, shebang interpreter paths containing a `/` are translated from
|
|
2695
|
-
Unix-style paths to Windows-style paths using `cygpath`, a utility that ships
|
|
2696
|
-
with [Cygwin](http://www.cygwin.com).
|
|
2697
|
-
|
|
2698
|
-
For example, to execute this recipe on Windows:
|
|
2699
|
-
|
|
2700
|
-
```just
|
|
2701
|
-
echo:
|
|
2702
|
-
#!/bin/sh
|
|
2703
|
-
echo "Hello!"
|
|
2704
|
-
```
|
|
2705
|
-
|
|
2706
|
-
The interpreter path `/bin/sh` will be translated to a Windows-style path using
|
|
2707
|
-
`cygpath` before being executed.
|
|
2708
|
-
|
|
2709
|
-
If the interpreter path does not contain a `/` it will be executed without
|
|
2710
|
-
being translated. This is useful if `cygpath` is not available, or you wish to
|
|
2711
|
-
pass a Windows-style path to the interpreter.
|
|
2712
|
-
|
|
2713
|
-
### Setting Variables in a Recipe
|
|
2714
|
-
|
|
2715
|
-
Recipe lines are interpreted by the shell, not `just`, so it's not possible to
|
|
2716
|
-
set `just` variables in the middle of a recipe:
|
|
2717
|
-
|
|
2718
|
-
```mf
|
|
2719
|
-
foo:
|
|
2720
|
-
x := "hello" # This doesn't work!
|
|
2721
|
-
echo {{x}}
|
|
2722
|
-
```
|
|
2723
|
-
|
|
2724
|
-
It is possible to use shell variables, but there's another problem. Every
|
|
2725
|
-
recipe line is run by a new shell instance, so variables set in one line won't
|
|
2726
|
-
be set in the next:
|
|
2727
|
-
|
|
2728
|
-
```just
|
|
2729
|
-
foo:
|
|
2730
|
-
x=hello && echo $x # This works!
|
|
2731
|
-
y=bye
|
|
2732
|
-
echo $y # This doesn't, `y` is undefined here!
|
|
2733
|
-
```
|
|
2734
|
-
|
|
2735
|
-
The best way to work around this is to use a shebang recipe. Shebang recipe
|
|
2736
|
-
bodies are extracted and run as scripts, so a single shell instance will run
|
|
2737
|
-
the whole thing:
|
|
2738
|
-
|
|
2739
|
-
```just
|
|
2740
|
-
foo:
|
|
2741
|
-
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
|
2742
|
-
set -euxo pipefail
|
|
2743
|
-
x=hello
|
|
2744
|
-
echo $x
|
|
2745
|
-
```
|
|
2746
|
-
|
|
2747
|
-
### Sharing Environment Variables Between Recipes
|
|
2748
|
-
|
|
2749
|
-
Each line of each recipe is executed by a fresh shell, so it is not possible to
|
|
2750
|
-
share environment variables between recipes.
|
|
2751
|
-
|
|
2752
|
-
#### Using Python Virtual Environments
|
|
2753
|
-
|
|
2754
|
-
Some tools, like [Python's venv](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html),
|
|
2755
|
-
require loading environment variables in order to work, making them challenging
|
|
2756
|
-
to use with `just`. As a workaround, you can execute the virtual environment
|
|
2757
|
-
binaries directly:
|
|
2758
|
-
|
|
2759
|
-
```just
|
|
2760
|
-
venv:
|
|
2761
|
-
[ -d foo ] || python3 -m venv foo
|
|
2762
|
-
|
|
2763
|
-
run: venv
|
|
2764
|
-
./foo/bin/python3 main.py
|
|
2765
|
-
```
|
|
2766
|
-
|
|
2767
|
-
### Changing the Working Directory in a Recipe
|
|
2768
|
-
|
|
2769
|
-
Each recipe line is executed by a new shell, so if you change the working
|
|
2770
|
-
directory on one line, it won't have an effect on later lines:
|
|
2771
|
-
|
|
2772
|
-
```just
|
|
2773
|
-
foo:
|
|
2774
|
-
pwd # This `pwd` will print the same directory…
|
|
2775
|
-
cd bar
|
|
2776
|
-
pwd # …as this `pwd`!
|
|
2777
|
-
```
|
|
2778
|
-
|
|
2779
|
-
There are a couple ways around this. One is to call `cd` on the same line as
|
|
2780
|
-
the command you want to run:
|
|
2781
|
-
|
|
2782
|
-
```just
|
|
2783
|
-
foo:
|
|
2784
|
-
cd bar && pwd
|
|
2785
|
-
```
|
|
2786
|
-
|
|
2787
|
-
The other is to use a shebang recipe. Shebang recipe bodies are extracted and
|
|
2788
|
-
run as scripts, so a single shell instance will run the whole thing, and thus a
|
|
2789
|
-
`pwd` on one line will affect later lines, just like a shell script:
|
|
2790
|
-
|
|
2791
|
-
```just
|
|
2792
|
-
foo:
|
|
2793
|
-
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
|
2794
|
-
set -euxo pipefail
|
|
2795
|
-
cd bar
|
|
2796
|
-
pwd
|
|
2797
|
-
```
|
|
2798
|
-
|
|
2799
|
-
### Indentation
|
|
2800
|
-
|
|
2801
|
-
Recipe lines can be indented with spaces or tabs, but not a mix of both. All of
|
|
2802
|
-
a recipe's lines must have the same type of indentation, but different recipes
|
|
2803
|
-
in the same `justfile` may use different indentation.
|
|
2804
|
-
|
|
2805
|
-
Each recipe must be indented at least one level from the `recipe-name` but
|
|
2806
|
-
after that may be further indented.
|
|
2807
|
-
|
|
2808
|
-
Here's a justfile with a recipe indented with spaces, represented as `·`, and
|
|
2809
|
-
tabs, represented as `→`.
|
|
2810
|
-
|
|
2811
|
-
```justfile
|
|
2812
|
-
set windows-shell := ["pwsh", "-NoLogo", "-NoProfileLoadTime", "-Command"]
|
|
2813
|
-
|
|
2814
|
-
set ignore-comments
|
|
2815
|
-
|
|
2816
|
-
list-space directory:
|
|
2817
|
-
··#!pwsh
|
|
2818
|
-
··foreach ($item in $(Get-ChildItem {{directory}} )) {
|
|
2819
|
-
····echo $item.Name
|
|
2820
|
-
··}
|
|
2821
|
-
··echo ""
|
|
2822
|
-
|
|
2823
|
-
# indentation nesting works even when newlines are escaped
|
|
2824
|
-
list-tab directory:
|
|
2825
|
-
→ @foreach ($item in $(Get-ChildItem {{directory}} )) { \
|
|
2826
|
-
→ → echo $item.Name \
|
|
2827
|
-
→ }
|
|
2828
|
-
→ @echo ""
|
|
2829
|
-
```
|
|
2830
|
-
|
|
2831
|
-

### Multi-Line Constructs
|
|
2844
|
-
|
|
2845
|
-
Recipes without an initial shebang are evaluated and run line-by-line, which
|
|
2846
|
-
means that multi-line constructs probably won't do what you want.
|
|
2847
|
-
|
|
2848
|
-
For example, with the following `justfile`:
|
|
2849
|
-
|
|
2850
|
-
```mf
|
|
2851
|
-
conditional:
|
|
2852
|
-
if true; then
|
|
2853
|
-
echo 'True!'
|
|
2854
|
-
fi
|
|
2855
|
-
```
|
|
2856
|
-
|
|
2857
|
-
The extra leading whitespace before the second line of the `conditional` recipe
|
|
2858
|
-
will produce a parse error:
|
|
2859
|
-
|
|
2860
|
-
```console
|
|
2861
|
-
$ just conditional
|
|
2862
|
-
error: Recipe line has extra leading whitespace
|
|
2863
|
-
|
|
|
2864
|
-
3 | echo 'True!'
|
|
2865
|
-
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
2866
|
-
```
|
|
2867
|
-
|
|
2868
|
-
To work around this, you can write conditionals on one line, escape newlines
|
|
2869
|
-
with slashes, or add a shebang to your recipe. Some examples of multi-line
|
|
2870
|
-
constructs are provided for reference.
|
|
2871
|
-
|
|
2872
|
-
#### `if` statements

|
2873
|
-
|
|
2874
|
-
```just

#### Outside Recipe Bodies
|
|
2939
|
-
|
|
2940
|
-
Parenthesized expressions can span multiple lines:
|
|
2941
|
-
|
|
2942
|
-
```just
|
|
2943
|
-
abc := ('a' +
|
|
2944
|
-
'b'
|
|
2945
|
-
+ 'c')
|
|
2946
|
-
|
|
2947
|
-
abc2 := (
|
|
2948
|
-
'a' +
|
|
2949
|
-
'b' +
|
|
2950
|
-
'c'
|
|
2951
|
-
)
|
|
2952
|
-
|
|
2953
|
-
foo param=('foo'
|
|
2954
|
-
+ 'bar'
|
|
2955
|
-
):
|
|
2956
|
-
echo {{param}}
|
|
2957
|
-
|
|
2958
|
-
bar: (foo
|
|
2959
|
-
'Foo'
|
|
2960
|
-
)
|
|
2961
|
-
echo 'Bar!'
|
|
2962
|
-
```
|
|
2963
|
-
|
|
2964
|
-
Lines ending with a backslash continue on to the next line as if the lines were
|
|
2965
|
-
joined by whitespace<sup>1.15.0</sup>:
|
|
2966
|
-
|
|
2967
|
-
```just
|
|
2968
|
-
a := 'foo' + \
|
|
2969
|
-
'bar'
|
|
2970
|
-
|
|
2971
|
-
foo param1 \
|
|
2972
|
-
param2='foo' \
|
|
2973
|
-
*varparam='': dep1 \
|
|
2974
|
-
(dep2 'foo')
|
|
2975
|
-
echo {{param1}} {{param2}} {{varparam}}
|
|
2976
|
-
|
|
2977
|
-
dep1: \
|
|
2978
|
-
# this comment is not part of the recipe body
|
|
2979
|
-
echo 'dep1'
|
|
2980
|
-
|
|
2981
|
-
dep2 \
|
|
2982
|
-
param:
|
|
2983
|
-
echo 'Dependency with parameter {{param}}'
|
|
2984
|
-
```
|
|
2985
|
-
|
|
2986
|
-
Backslash line continuations can also be used in interpolations. The line
|
|
2987
|
-
following the backslash must be indented.
|
|
2988
|
-
|
|
2989
|
-
```just
|
|
2990
|
-
recipe:
|
|
2991
|
-
echo '{{ \
|
|
2992
|
-
"This interpolation " + \
|
|
2993
|
-
"has a lot of text." \
|
|
2994
|
-
}}'
|
|
2995
|
-
echo 'back to recipe body'
|
|
2996
|
-
```
|
|
2997

2998
|

### Command Line Options
|
|
2999
|
-
|
|
3000
|
-
`just` supports a number of useful command line options for listing, dumping,
|
|
3001
|
-
and debugging recipes and variables:
|
|
3002
|
-
|
|
3003
|
-
```console
|
|
3004
|
-
$ just --list
|
|
3005
|
-
Available recipes:
|
|
3006
|
-
js
|
|
3007
|
-
perl
|
|
3008
|
-
polyglot
|
|
3009
|
-
python
|
|
3010
|
-
ruby
|
|
3011
|
-
$ just --show perl
|
|
3012
|
-
perl:
|
|
3013
|
-
#!/usr/bin/env perl
|
|
3014
|
-
print "Larry Wall says Hi!\n";
|
|
3015
|
-
$ just --show polyglot
|
|
3016
|
-
polyglot: python js perl sh ruby
|
|
3017
|
-
```
|
|
3018
|
-
|
|
3019
|
-
Some command-line options can be set with environment variables. For example:
|
|
3020
|
-
|
|
3021
|
-
```console
|
|
3022
|
-
$ export JUST_UNSTABLE=1
|
|
3023
|
-
$ just
|
|
3024
|
-
```
|
|
3025
|
-
|
|
3026
|
-
Is equivalent to:
|
|
3027
|
-
|
|
3028
|
-
```console
|
|
3029
|
-
$ just --unstable
|
|
3030
|
-
```
|
|
3031
|
-
|
|
3032
|
-
Consult `just --help` to see which options can be set from environment
|
|
3033
|
-
variables.
|
|
3034
|
-
|
|
3035
|
-
### Private Recipes
|
|
3036
|
-
|
|
3037
|
-
Recipes and aliases whose name starts with a `_` are omitted from `just --list`:
|
|
3038
|
-
|
|
3039
|
-
```just
|
|
3040
|
-
test: _test-helper
|
|
3041
|
-
./bin/test
|
|
3042
|
-
|
|
3043
|
-
_test-helper:
|
|
3044
|
-
./bin/super-secret-test-helper-stuff
|
|
3045
|
-
```
|
|
3046
|
-
|
|
3047
|
-
```console
|
|
3048
|
-

|
|
3050
|
-
test
|
|
3051
|
-
```
|
|
3052
|
-
|
|
3053
|
-
And from `just --summary`:
|
|
3054
|
-
|
|
3055
|
-
```console
|
|
3056
|
-
$ just --summary
|
|
3057
|
-
test
|
|
3058
|
-
```
|
|
3059
|
-
|
|
3060
|
-
The `[private]` attribute<sup>1.10.0</sup> may also be used to hide recipes or
|
|
3061
|
-
aliases without needing to change the name:
|
|
3062
|
-
|
|
3063
|
-
```just
|
|
3064
|
-
[private]
|
|
3065
|
-
foo:
|
|
3066
|
-
|
|
3067
|
-
[private]
|
|
3068
|
-
alias b := bar
|
|
3069
|
-
|
|
3070
|
-
bar:
|
|
3071
|
-
```
|
|
3072
|
-
|
|
3073
|
-
```console
|
|
3074
|
-
$ just --list
|
|
3075
|
-
Available recipes:
|
|
3076
|
-
bar
|
|
3077
|
-
```
|
|
3078
|
-
|
|
3079
|
-
This is useful for helper recipes which are only meant to be used as
|
|
3080
|
-
dependencies of other recipes.
|
|
3081
|
-
|
|
3082
|
-
### Quiet Recipes
|
|
3083
|
-
|
|
3084
|
-
A recipe name may be prefixed with `@` to invert the meaning of `@` before each
|
|
3085
|
-
line:
|
|
3086
|
-
|
|
3087
|
-
```just
|
|
3088
|
-
@quiet:
|
|
3089
|
-
echo hello
|
|
3090
|
-
echo goodbye
|
|
3091
|
-
@# all done!
|
|
3092
|
-
```
|
|
3093
|
-
|
|
3094
|
-
Now only the lines starting with `@` will be echoed:
|
|
3095
|
-
|
|
3096
|
-
```console
|
|
3097
|
-
$ just quiet
|
|
3098
|
-
hello
|
|
3099
|
-
goodbye
|
|
3100
|
-
# all done!
|
|
3101
|
-
```
|
|
3102
|
-
|
|
3103
|
-
All recipes in a Justfile can be made quiet with `set quiet`:
|
|
3104
|
-
|
|
3105
|
-
```just
|
|
3106
|
-
set quiet
|
|
3107
|
-
|
|
3108
|
-
foo:
|
|
3109
|
-
echo "This is quiet"
|
|
3110
|
-
|
|
3111
|
-
@foo2:
|
|
3112
|
-
echo "This is also quiet"
|
|
3113
|
-
```
|
|
3114
|
-
|
|
3115
|
-
The `[no-quiet]` attribute overrides this setting:
|
|
3116
|
-
|
|
3117
|
-
```just
|
|
3118
|
-
set quiet
|
|
3119
|
-
|
|
3120
|
-
foo:
|
|
3121
|
-
echo "This is quiet"
|
|
3122
|
-
|
|
3123
|
-
[no-quiet]
|
|
3124
|
-
foo2:
|
|
3125
|
-
echo "This is not quiet"
|
|
3126
|
-
```
|
|
3127
|
-
|
|
3128
|
-
Shebang recipes are quiet by default:
|
|
3129
|
-
|
|
3130
|
-
```just
|
|
3131
|
-
foo:
|
|
3132
|
-
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
|
3133
|
-
echo 'Foo!'
|
|
3134
|
-
```
|
|
3135
|
-
|
|
3136
|
-
```console
|
|
3137
|
-
$ just foo
|
|
3138
|
-
Foo!
|
|
3139
|
-
```
|
|
3140
|
-
|
|
3141
|
-
Adding `@` to a shebang recipe name makes `just` print the recipe before
|
|
3142
|
-
executing it:
|
|
3143
|
-
|
|
3144
|
-
```just
|
|
3145
|
-
@bar:
|
|
3146
|
-
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
|
3147
|
-
echo 'Bar!'
|
|
3148
|
-
```
|
|
3149
|
-
|
|
3150
|
-
```console
|
|
3151
|
-
$ just bar
|
|
3152
|
-
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
|
3153
|
-
echo 'Bar!'
|
|
3154
|
-
Bar!
|
|
3155
|
-
```
|
|
3156
|
-
|
|
3157
|
-
`just` normally prints error messages when a recipe line fails. These error
|
|
3158
|
-
messages can be suppressed using the `[no-exit-message]`<sup>1.7.0</sup>
|
|
3159
|
-
attribute. You may find this especially useful with a recipe that wraps a tool:
|
|
3160
|
-
|
|
3161
|
-
```just
|
|
3162
|
-
git *args:
|
|
3163
|
-
@git {{args}}
|
|
3164
|
-
```
|
|
3165
|
-
|
|
3166
|
-
```console
|
|
3167
|
-
$ just git status
|
|
3168
|
-
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
|
|
3169
|
-
error: Recipe `git` failed on line 2 with exit code 128
|
|
3170
|
-
```
|
|
3171
|
-
|
|
3172
|
-
Add the attribute to suppress the exit error message when the tool exits with a
|
|
3173
|
-
non-zero code:
|
|
3174
|
-
|
|
3175
|
-
```just
|
|
3176
|
-
[no-exit-message]
|
|
3177
|
-
git *args:
|
|
3178
|
-
@git {{args}}
|
|
3179
|
-
```
|
|
3180
|
-
|
|
3181
|
-
```console
|
|
3182
|
-
$ just git status
|
|
3183
|
-
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
|
|
3184
|
-
```
|
|
3185
|
-
|
|
3186
|
-
### Selecting Recipes to Run With an Interactive Chooser
|
|
3187
|
-
|
|
3188
|
-
The `--choose` subcommand makes `just` invoke a chooser to select which recipes
|
|
3189
|
-
to run. Choosers should read lines containing recipe names from standard input
|
|
3190
|
-
and print one or more of those names separated by spaces to standard output.
|
|
3191
|
-
|
|
3192
|
-
Because there is currently no way to run a recipe that requires arguments with
|
|
3193
|
-
`--choose`, such recipes will not be given to the chooser. Private recipes and
|
|
3194
|
-
aliases are also skipped.
|
|
3195
|
-
|
|
3196
|
-
The chooser can be overridden with the `--chooser` flag. If `--chooser` is not
|
|
3197
|
-
given, then `just` first checks if `$JUST_CHOOSER` is set. If it isn't, then
|
|
3198
|
-
the chooser defaults to `fzf`, a popular fuzzy finder.
|
|
3199
|
-
|
|
3200
|
-
Arguments can be included in the chooser, i.e. `fzf --exact`.
|
|
3201
|
-
|
|
3202
|
-
The chooser is invoked in the same way as recipe lines. For example, if the
|
|
3203
|
-
chooser is `fzf`, it will be invoked with `sh -cu 'fzf'`, and if the shell, or
|
|
3204
|
-
the shell arguments are overridden, the chooser invocation will respect those
|
|
3205
|
-
overrides.
|
|
3206
|
-
|
|
3207
|
-
If you'd like `just` to default to selecting recipes with a chooser, you can
|
|
3208
|
-
use this as your default recipe:
|
|
3209
|
-
|
|
3210
|
-
```just
|
|
3211
|
-
default:
|
|
3212
|
-
@just --choose
|
|
3213
|
-
```
|
|
3214
|
-
|
|
3215
|
-
### Invoking `justfile`s in Other Directories
|
|
3216
|
-
|
|
3217
|
-
If the first argument passed to `just` contains a `/`, then the following
|
|
3218
|
-
occurs:
|
|
3219
|
-
|
|
3220
|
-
1. The argument is split at the last `/`.
|
|
3221
|
-
|
|
3222
|
-
2. The part before the last `/` is treated as a directory. `just` will start
|
|
3223
|
-
its search for the `justfile` there, instead of in the current directory.
|
|
3224
|
-
|
|
3225
|
-
3. The part after the last slash is treated as a normal argument, or ignored
|
|
3226
|
-
if it is empty.
|
|
3227
|
-
|
|
3228
|
-
This may seem a little strange, but it's useful if you wish to run a command in
|
|
3229
|
-
a `justfile` that is in a subdirectory.
|
|
3230
|
-
|
|
3231
|
-
For example, if you are in a directory which contains a subdirectory named
|
|
3232
|
-
`foo`, which contains a `justfile` with the recipe `build`, which is also the
|
|
3233
|
-
default recipe, the following are all equivalent:
|
|
3234
|
-
|
|
3235
|
-
```console
|
|
3236
|
-
$ (cd foo && just build)
|
|
3237
|
-
$ just foo/build
|
|
3238
|
-
$ just foo/
|
|
3239
|
-
```
|
|
3240
|
-
|
|
3241
|
-
Additional recipes after the first are sought in the same `justfile`. For
|
|
3242
|
-
example, the following are both equivalent:
|
|
3243
|
-
|
|
3244
|
-
```console
|
|
3245
|
-
$ just foo/a b
|
|
3246
|
-
$ (cd foo && just a b)
|
|
3247
|
-
```
|
|
3248
|
-
|
|
3249
|
-
And will both invoke recipes `a` and `b` in `foo/justfile`.
|
|
3250
|
-
|
|
3251
|
-
### Imports
|
|
3252
|
-
|
|
3253
|
-
One `justfile` can include the contents of another using `import` statements.
|
|
3254
|
-
|
|
3255
|
-
If you have the following `justfile`:
|
|
3256
|
-
|
|
3257
|
-
```mf
|
|
3258
|
-
import 'foo/bar.just'
|
|
3259
|
-
|
|
3260
|
-
a: b
|
|
3261
|
-
@echo A
|
|
3262
|
-
```
|
|
3263
|
-
|
|
3264
|
-
And the following text in `foo/bar.just`:
|
|
3265
|
-
|
|
3266
|
-
```just
|
|
3267
|
-
b:
|
|
3268
|
-
@echo B
|
|
3269
|
-
```
|
|
3270
|
-
|
|
3271
|
-
`foo/bar.just` will be included in `justfile` and recipe `b` will be defined:
|
|
3272
|
-
|
|
3273
|
-
```console
|
|
3274
|
-
$ just b
|
|
3275
|
-
B
|
|
3276
|
-
$ just a
|
|
3277
|
-
B
|
|
3278
|
-
A
|
|
3279
|
-
```
|
|
3280
|
-
|
|
3281
|
-
The `import` path can be absolute or relative to the location of the justfile
|
|
3282
|
-
containing it. A leading `~/` in the import path is replaced with the current
|
|
3283
|
-
users home directory.
|
|
3284
|
-
|
|
3285
|
-
Justfiles are insensitive to order, so included files can reference variables
|
|
3286
|
-
and recipes defined after the `import` statement.
|
|
3287
|
-
|
|
3288
|
-
Imported files can themselves contain `import`s, which are processed
|
|
3289
|
-
recursively.
|
|
3290
|
-
|
|
3291
|
-
When `allow-duplicate-recipes` is set, recipes in parent modules override
|
|
3292
|
-
recipes in imports. In a similar manner, when `allow-duplicate-variables` is
|
|
3293
|
-
set, variables in parent modules override variables in imports.
|
|
3294
|
-
|
|
3295
|
-
Imports may be made optional by putting a `?` after the `import` keyword:
|
|
3296
|
-
|
|
3297
|
-
```mf
|
|
3298
|
-
import? 'foo/bar.just'
|
|
3299
|
-
```
|
|
3300
|
-
|
|
3301
|
-
Missing source files for optional imports do not produce an error.
|
|
3302
|
-
|
|
3303
|
-
### Modules<sup>1.19.0</sup>
|
|
3304
|
-
|
|
3305
|
-
A `justfile` can declare modules using `mod` statements.
|
|
3306
|
-
|
|
3307
|
-
`mod` statements were stabilized in `just`<sup>1.31.0</sup>. In earlier
|
|
3308
|
-
versions, you'll need to use the `--unstable` flag, `set unstable`, or set the
|
|
3309
|
-
`JUST_UNSTABLE` environment variable to use them.
|
|
3310
|
-
|
|
3311
|
-
If you have the following `justfile`:
|
|
3312
|
-
|
|
3313
|
-
```mf
|
|
3314
|
-
mod bar
|
|
3315
|
-
|
|
3316
|
-
a:
|
|
3317
|
-
@echo A
|
|
3318
|
-
```
|
|
3319
|
-
|
|
3320
|
-
And the following text in `bar.just`:
|
|
3321
|
-
|
|
3322
|
-
```just
|
|
3323
|
-
b:
|
|
3324
|
-
@echo B
|
|
3325
|
-
```
|
|
3326
|
-
|
|
3327
|
-
`bar.just` will be included in `justfile` as a submodule. Recipes, aliases, and
|
|
3328
|
-
variables defined in one submodule cannot be used in another, and each module
|
|
3329
|
-
uses its own settings.
|
|
3330
|
-
|
|
3331
|
-
Recipes in submodules can be invoked as subcommands:
|
|
3332
|
-
|
|
3333
|
-
```console
|
|
3334
|
-
$ just bar b
|
|
3335
|
-
B
|
|
3336
|
-
```
|
|
3337
|
-
|
|
3338
|
-
Or with path syntax:
|
|
3339
|
-
|
|
3340
|
-
```console
|
|
3341
|
-
$ just bar::b
|
|
3342
|
-
B
|
|
3343
|
-
```
|
|
3344
|
-
|
|
3345
|
-
If a module is named `foo`, just will search for the module file in `foo.just`,
|
|
3346
|
-
`foo/mod.just`, `foo/justfile`, and `foo/.justfile`. In the latter two cases,
|
|
3347
|
-
the module file may have any capitalization.
|
|
3348
|
-
|
|
3349
|
-
Module statements may be of the form:
|
|
3350
|
-
|
|
3351
|
-
```mf
|
|
3352
|
-
mod foo 'PATH'
|
|
3353
|
-
```
|
|
3354
|
-
|
|
3355
|
-
Which loads the module's source file from `PATH`, instead of from the usual
|
|
3356
|
-
locations. A leading `~/` in `PATH` is replaced with the current user's home
|
|
3357
|
-
directory. `PATH` may point to the module source file itself, or to a directory
|
|
3358
|
-
containing the module source file with the name `mod.just`, `justfile`, or
|
|
3359
|
-
`.justfile`. In the latter two cases, the module file may have any
|
|
3360
|
-
capitalization.
|
|
3361
|
-
|
|
3362
|
-
Environment files are only loaded for the root justfile, and loaded environment
|
|
3363
|
-
variables are available in submodules. Settings in submodules that affect
|
|
3364
|
-
environment file loading are ignored.
|
|
3365
|
-
|
|
3366
|
-
Recipes in submodules without the `[no-cd]` attribute run with the working
|
|
3367
|
-
directory set to the directory containing the submodule source file.
|
|
3368
|
-
|
|
3369
|
-
`justfile()` and `justfile_directory()` always return the path to the root
|
|
3370
|
-
justfile and the directory that contains it, even when called from submodule
|
|
3371
|
-
recipes.
|
|
3372
|
-
|
|
3373
|
-
Modules may be made optional by putting a `?` after the `mod` keyword:
|
|
3374
|
-
|
|
3375
|
-
```mf
|
|
3376
|
-
mod? foo
|
|
3377
|
-
```
|
|
3378
|
-
|
|
3379
|
-
Missing source files for optional modules do not produce an error.
|
|
3380
|
-
|
|
3381
|
-
Optional modules with no source file do not conflict, so you can have multiple
|
|
3382
|
-
mod statements with the same name, but with different source file paths, as
|
|
3383
|
-
long as at most one source file exists:
|
|
3384
|
-
|
|
3385
|
-
```mf
|
|
3386
|
-
mod? foo 'bar.just'
|
|
3387
|
-
mod? foo 'baz.just'
|
|
3388
|
-
```
|
|
3389
|
-
|
|
3390
|
-
Modules may be given doc comments which appear in `--list`
|
|
3391
|
-
output<sup>1.30.0</sup>:
|
|
3392
|
-
|
|
3393
|
-
```mf
|
|
3394
|
-
# foo is a great module!
|
|
3395
|
-
mod foo
|
|
3396
|
-
```
|
|
3397
|
-
|
|
3398
|
-
```console
|
|
3399
|
-
$ just --list
|
|
3400
|
-
Available recipes:
|
|
3401
|
-
foo ... # foo is a great module!
|
|
3402
|
-
```
|
|
3403
|
-
|
|
3404
|
-
Modules are still missing a lot of features, for example, the ability to depend
|
|
3405
|
-
on recipes and refer to variables in other modules. See the
|
|
3406
|
-

### Hiding `justfile`s
|
|
3410
|
-
|
|
3411
|
-
`just` looks for `justfile`s named `justfile` and `.justfile`, which can be
|
|
3412
|
-
used to keep a `justfile` hidden.
|
|
3413
|
-
|
|
3414
|
-
### Just Scripts
|
|
3415
|
-
|
|
3416
|
-
By adding a shebang line to the top of a `justfile` and making it executable,
|
|
3417
|
-
`just` can be used as an interpreter for scripts:
|
|
3418
|
-
|
|
3419
|
-
```console
|
|
3420
|
-
$ cat > script <<EOF
|
|
3421
|
-
#!/usr/bin/env just --justfile
|
|
3422
|
-
|
|
3423
|
-
foo:
|
|
3424
|
-
echo foo
|
|
3425
|
-
EOF
|
|
3426
|
-
$ chmod +x script
|
|
3427
|
-
$ ./script foo
|
|
3428
|
-
echo foo
|
|
3429
|
-
foo
|
|
3430
|
-
```
|
|
3431
|
-
|
|
3432
|
-
When a script with a shebang is executed, the system supplies the path to the
|
|
3433
|
-
script as an argument to the command in the shebang. So, with a shebang of
|
|
3434
|
-
`#!/usr/bin/env just --justfile`, the command will be `/usr/bin/env just --justfile PATH_TO_SCRIPT`.
|
|
3435
|
-
|
|
3436
|
-
With the above shebang, `just` will change its working directory to the
|
|
3437
|
-
location of the script. If you'd rather leave the working directory unchanged,
|
|
3438
|
-
use `#!/usr/bin/env just --working-directory . --justfile`.
|
|
3439
|
-
|
|
3440
|
-
Note: Shebang line splitting is not consistent across operating systems. The
|
|
3441
|
-
previous examples have only been tested on macOS. On Linux, you may need to
|
|
3442
|
-
pass the `-S` flag to `env`:
|
|
3443
|
-
|
|
3444
|
-
```just
|
|
3445
|
-
#!/usr/bin/env -S just --justfile
|
|
3446
|
-
|
|
3447
|
-
default:
|
|
3448
|
-
echo foo
|
|
3449
|
-
```
|
|
3450
|
-
|
|
3451
|
-
### Formatting and dumping `justfile`s
|
|
3452
|
-
|
|
3453
|
-
Each `justfile` has a canonical formatting with respect to whitespace and
|
|
3454
|
-
newlines.
|
|
3455
|
-
|
|
3456
|
-
You can overwrite the current justfile with a canonically-formatted version
|
|
3457
|
-
using the currently-unstable `--fmt` flag:
|
|
3458
|
-
|
|
3459
|
-
```console
|
|
3460
|
-
$ cat justfile
|
|
3461
|
-
# A lot of blank lines
|
|
3462
|
-
|
|
3463
|
-
|
|
3464
|
-
|
|
3465
|
-
|
|
3466
|
-
|
|
3467
|
-
some-recipe:
|
|
3468
|
-
echo "foo"
|
|
3469
|
-
$ just --fmt --unstable
|
|
3470
|
-
$ cat justfile
|
|
3471
|
-
# A lot of blank lines
|
|
3472
|
-
|
|
3473
|
-
some-recipe:
|
|
3474
|
-
echo "foo"
|
|
3475
|
-
```
|
|
3476
|
-
|
|
3477
|
-
Invoking `just --fmt --check --unstable` runs `--fmt` in check mode. Instead of
|
|
3478
|
-
overwriting the `justfile`, `just` will exit with an exit code of 0 if it is
|
|
3479
|
-
formatted correctly, and will exit with 1 and print a diff if it is not.
|
|
3480
|
-
|
|
3481
|
-
You can use the `--dump` command to output a formatted version of the
|
|
3482
|
-
`justfile` to stdout:
|
|
3483
|
-
|
|
3484
|
-
```console
|
|
3485
|
-
$ just --dump > formatted-justfile
|
|
3486
|
-
```
|
|
3487
|
-
|
|
3488
|
-
The `--dump` command can be used with `--dump-format json` to print a JSON
|
|
3489
|
-
representation of a `justfile`.
|
|
3490
|
-
|
|
3491
|
-
### Fallback to parent `justfile`s
|
|
3492
|
-
|
|
3493
|
-
If a recipe is not found in a `justfile` and the `fallback` setting is set,
|
|
3494
|
-
`just` will look for `justfile`s in the parent directory and up, until it
|
|
3495
|
-
reaches the root directory. `just` will stop after it reaches a `justfile` in
|
|
3496
|
-
which the `fallback` setting is `false` or unset.
|
|
3497
|
-
|
|
3498
|
-
As an example, suppose the current directory contains this `justfile`:
|
|
3499
|
-
|
|
3500
|
-
```just
|
|
3501
|
-
set fallback
|
|
3502
|
-
foo:
|
|
3503
|
-
echo foo
|
|
3504
|
-
```
|
|
3505
|
-
|
|
3506
|
-
And the parent directory contains this `justfile`:
|
|
3507
|
-
|
|
3508
|
-
```just
|
|
3509
|
-
bar:
|
|
3510
|
-
echo bar
|
|
3511
|
-
```
|
|
3512
|
-
|
|
3513
|
-
```console
|
|
3514
|
-
$ just bar
|
|
3515
|
-
Trying ../justfile
|
|
3516
|
-
echo bar
|
|
3517
|
-
bar
|
|
3518
|
-
```
|
|
3519
|
-
|
|
3520
|
-
### Avoiding Argument Splitting
|
|
3521
|
-
|
|
3522
|
-
Given this `justfile`:
|
|
3523
|
-
|
|
3524
|
-
```just
|
|
3525
|
-
foo argument:
|
|
3526
|
-
touch {{argument}}
|
|
3527
|
-
```
|
|
3528
|
-
|
|
3529
|
-
The following command will create two files, `some` and `argument.txt`:
|
|
3530
|
-
|
|
3531
|
-
```console
|
|
3532
|
-
$ just foo "some argument.txt"
|
|
3533
|
-
```
|
|
3534
|
-
|
|
3535
|
-
The users shell will parse `"some argument.txt"` as a single argument, but when
|
|
3536
|
-
`just` replaces `touch {{argument}}` with `touch some argument.txt`, the quotes
|
|
3537
|
-
are not preserved, and `touch` will receive two arguments.
|
|
3538
|
-
|
|
3539
|
-
There are a few ways to avoid this: quoting, positional arguments, and exported
|
|
3540
|
-
arguments.
|
|
3541
|
-
|
|
3542
|
-
#### Quoting
|
|
3543
|
-
|
|
3544
|
-
Quotes can be added around the `{{argument}}` interpolation:
|
|
3545
|
-
|
|
3546
|
-
```just
|
|
3547
|
-
foo argument:
|
|
3548
|
-
touch '{{argument}}'
|
|
3549
|
-
```
|
|
3550
|
-
|
|
3551
|
-
This preserves `just`'s ability to catch variable name typos before running,
|
|
3552
|
-
for example if you were to write `{{argument}}`, but will not do what you want
|
|
3553
|
-
if the value of `argument` contains single quotes.
|
|
3554
|
-
|
|
3555
|
-
#### Positional Arguments
|
|
3556
|
-
|
|
3557
|
-
The `positional-arguments` setting causes all arguments to be passed as
|
|
3558
|
-
positional arguments, allowing them to be accessed with `$1`, `$2`, …, and
|
|
3559
|
-
`$@`, which can be then double-quoted to avoid further splitting by the shell:
|
|
3560
|
-
|
|
3561
|
-
```just
|
|
3562
|
-
set positional-arguments
|
|
3563
|
-
|
|
3564
|
-
foo argument:
|
|
3565
|
-
touch "$1"
|
|
3566
|
-
```
|
|
3567
|
-
|
|
3568
|
-
This defeats `just`'s ability to catch typos, for example if you type `$2`
|
|
3569
|
-
instead of `$1`, but works for all possible values of `argument`, including
|
|
3570
|
-
those with double quotes.
|
|
3571
|
-
|
|
3572
|
-
#### Exported Arguments
|
|
3573
|
-
|
|
3574
|
-
All arguments are exported when the `export` setting is set:
|
|
3575
|
-
|
|
3576
|
-
```just
|
|
3577
|
-
set export
|
|
3578
|
-
|
|
3579
|
-
foo argument:
|
|
3580
|
-
touch "$argument"
|
|
3581
|
-
```
|
|
3582
|
-
|
|
3583
|
-
Or individual arguments may be exported by prefixing them with `$`:
|
|
3584
|
-
|
|
3585
|
-
```just
|
|
3586
|
-
foo $argument:
|
|
3587
|
-
touch "$argument"
|
|
3588
|
-
```
|
|
3589
|
-
|
|
3590
|
-
This defeats `just`'s ability to catch typos, for example if you type
|
|
3591
|
-
`$argument`, but works for all possible values of `argument`, including those
|
|
3592
|
-
with double quotes.
|
|
3593
|
-
|
|
3594
|
-
### Configuring the Shell
|
|
3595
|
-
|
|
3596
|
-
There are a number of ways to configure the shell for linewise recipes, which
|
|
3597
|
-
are the default when a recipe does not start with a `#!` shebang. Their
|
|
3598
|
-
precedence, from highest to lowest, is:
|
|
3599
|
-
|
|
3600
|
-
1. The `--shell` and `--shell-arg` command line options. Passing either of
|
|
3601
|
-
these will cause `just` to ignore any settings in the current justfile.
|
|
3602
|
-
2. `set windows-shell := [...]`
|
|
3603
|
-
3. `set windows-powershell` (deprecated)
|
|
3604
|
-
4. `set shell := [...]`
|
|
3605
|
-
|
|
3606
|
-
Since `set windows-shell` has higher precedence than `set shell`, you can use
|
|
3607
|
-
`set windows-shell` to pick a shell on Windows, and `set shell` to pick a shell
|
|
3608
|
-
for all other platforms.
|
|
3609
|
-
|
|
3610
|
-
### Timestamps
|
|
3611
|
-
|
|
3612
|
-
`just` can print timestamps before each recipe commands:
|
|
3613
|
-
|
|
3614
|
-
```just
|
|
3615
|
-
recipe:
|
|
3616
|
-
echo one
|
|
3617
|
-
sleep 2
|
|
3618
|
-
echo two
|
|
3619
|
-
```
|
|
3620
|
-
|
|
3621
|
-
```
|
|
3622
|
-
$ just --timestamp recipe
|
|
3623
|
-
[07:28:46] echo one
|
|
3624
|
-
one
|
|
3625
|
-
[07:28:46] sleep 2
|
|
3626
|
-
[07:28:48] echo two
|
|
3627
|
-
two
|
|
3628
|
-
```
|
|
3629
|
-
|
|
3630
|
-
By default, timestamps are formatted as `HH:MM:SS`. The format can be changed
|
|
3631
|
-
with `--timestamp-format`:
|
|
3632
|
-
|
|
3633
|
-
```
|
|
3634
|
-
$ just --timestamp recipe --timestamp-format '%H:%M:%S%.3f %Z'
|
|
3635
|
-
[07:32:11:.349 UTC] echo one
|
|
3636
|
-
one
|
|
3637
|
-
[07:32:11:.350 UTC] sleep 2
|
|
3638
|
-
[07:32:13:.352 UTC] echo two
|
|
3639
|
-
two
|
|
3640
|
-
```
|
|
3641
|
-
|
|
3642
|
-
The argument to `--timestamp-format` is a `strftime`-style format string, see
|
|
3643
|
-

|
|
3644
|
-
[`chrono` library docs](https://docs.rs/chrono/latest/chrono/format/strftime/index.html)

### Re-running recipes when files change
|
|
3660
|
-
|
|
3661
|
-
[`watchexec`](https://github.com/mattgreen/watchexec) can re-run any command
|
|
3662
|
-
when files change.
|
|
3663
|
-
|
|
3664
|
-
To re-run the recipe `foo` when any file changes:
|
|
3665
|
-
|
|
3666
|
-
```console
|
|
3667
|
-
watchexec just foo
|
|
3668
|
-
```
|
|
3669
|
-
|
|
3670
|
-
See `watchexec --help` for more info, including how to specify which files
|
|
3671
|
-
should be watched for changes.
|
|
3672
|

|
3674
|
-
|

|
-
GNU parallel can be used to run tasks concurrently:
|
|
3676
|
-
|
|
3677
|
-
```just
|
|
3678
|
-
parallel:
|
|
3679
|
-
#!/usr/bin/env -S parallel --shebang --ungroup --jobs {{ num_cpus() }}
|
|
3680
|
-
echo task 1 start; sleep 3; echo task 1 done
|
|
3681
|
-
echo task 2 start; sleep 3; echo task 2 done
|
|
3682
|
-
echo task 3 start; sleep 3; echo task 3 done
|
|
3683
|
-
echo task 4 start; sleep 3; echo task 4 done
|

### Shell Alias
|
|
3687
|
-
|
|
3688
|
-
For lightning-fast command running, put `alias j=just` in your shell's
|
|
3689
|
-
configuration file.
|
|
3690
|
-
|
|
3691
|
-
In `bash`, the aliased command may not keep the shell completion functionality
|
|
3692
|
-
described in the next section. Add the following line to your `.bashrc` to use
|
|
3693
|
-
the same completion function as `just` for your aliased command:
|
|
3694
|
-
|
|
3695
|
-
```console
|
|
3696
|
-
complete -F _just -o bashdefault -o default j
|
|
3697
|
-
```
|
|
3698
|
-
|
|
3699
|
-
### Shell Completion Scripts
|
|
3700
|
-
|
|
3701
|
-
Shell completion scripts for Bash, Elvish, Fish, Nushell, PowerShell, and Zsh
|
|
3702
|
-
are available [release archives](https://github.com/casey/just/releases).
|
|
3703
|
-
|
|
3704
|
-
The `just` binary can also generate the same completion scripts at runtime
|
|
3705
|
-
using `just --completions SHELL`:
|
|
3706
|
-
|
|
3707
|
-
```console
|
|
3708
|
-
$ just --completions zsh > just.zsh
|
|
3709
|
-
```
|
|
3710
|
-
|
|
3711
|
-
Please refer to your shell's documentation for how to install them.
|
|
3712
|
-
|
|
3713
|
-
*macOS Note:* Recent versions of macOS use zsh as the default shell. If you use
|
|
3714
|
-
Homebrew to install `just`, it will automatically install the most recent copy
|
|
3715
|
-
of the zsh completion script in the Homebrew zsh directory, which the built-in
|
|
3716
|
-
version of zsh doesn't know about by default. It's best to use this copy of the
|
|
3717
|
-
script if possible, since it will be updated whenever you update `just` via
|
|
3718
|
-
Homebrew. Also, many other Homebrew packages use the same location for
|
|
3719
|
-
completion scripts, and the built-in zsh doesn't know about those either. To
|
|
3720
|
-
take advantage of `just` completion in zsh in this scenario, you can set
|
|
3721
|
-
`fpath` to the Homebrew location before calling `compinit`. Note also that Oh
|
|
3722
|
-
My Zsh runs `compinit` by default. So your `.zshrc` file could look like this:
|
|
3723
|
-
|
|
3724
|
-
```zsh
|
|
3725
|
-
# Init Homebrew, which adds environment variables
|
|
3726
|
-
eval "$(brew shellenv)"
|
|
3727
|
-
|
|
3728
|
-
fpath=($HOMEBREW_PREFIX/share/zsh/site-functions $fpath)
|
|
3729
|
-
|
|
3730
|
-
# Then choose one of these options:
|
|
3731
|
-
# 1. If you're using Oh My Zsh, you can initialize it here
|
|
3732
|
-
# source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh
|
|
3733
|
-
|
|
3734
|
-
# 2. Otherwise, run compinit yourself
|
|
3735
|
-
# autoload -U compinit
|
|
3736
|
-
# compinit
|
|
3737
|
-
```
|
|
3738
|
-
|
|
3739
|
-
### Man Page
|
|
3740
|
-
|
|
3741
|
-
`just` can print its own man page with `just --man`. Man pages are written in
|
|
3742
|
-
[`roff`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roff_%28software%29), a venerable markup
|
|
3743
|
-
language and one of the first practical applications of Unix. If you have
|
|
3744
|
-
[`groff`](https://www.gnu.org/software/groff/) installed you can view the man
|
|
3745
|
-
page with `just --man | groff -mandoc -Tascii | less`.
|
|
3746
|
-
|
|
3747
|
-
### Grammar
|
|
3748
|
-
|
|
3749
|
-
A non-normative grammar of `justfile`s can be found in
|
|
3750
|
-
[GRAMMAR.md](https://github.com/casey/just/blob/master/GRAMMAR.md).
|
|
3751
|
-
|
|
3752
|
-
### just.sh
|
|
3753
|
-
|
|
3754
|
-
Before `just` was a fancy Rust program it was a tiny shell script that called
|
|
3755
|
-
`make`. You can find the old version in
|
|
3756
|
-
[contrib/just.sh](https://github.com/casey/just/blob/master/contrib/just.sh).
|
|
3757
|

3758
|
-
### Global and User `justfile`s
|
|
3759
|
-
|
|
3760
|
-
If you want some recipes to be available everywhere, you have a few options.
|
|
3761
|
-
|
|
3762
|
-
#### Global Justfile
|
|
3763
|
-
|
|
3764
|
-
`just --global-justfile`, or `just -g` for short, searches the following paths,
|
|
3765
|
-
in-order, for a justfile:
|
|
3766
|
-
|
|
3767
|
-
- `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/just/justfile`
|
|
3768
|
-
- `$HOME/.config/just/justfile`
|
|
3769
|
-
- `$HOME/justfile`
|
|
3770
|
-
- `$HOME/.justfile`
|
|
3771
|
-
|
|
3772
|
-
You can put recipes that are used across many projects in a global justfile to
|
|
3773
|
-
easily invoke them from any directory.
|
|
3774
|
-
|
|
3775
|
-
#### User justfile tips
|
|
3776
|
-
|
|
3777
|
-
You can also adopt some of the following workflows. These tips assume you've
|
|
3778
|
-
created a `justfile` at `~/.user.justfile`, but you can put this `justfile`
|
|
3779
|
-
at any convenient path on your system.
|
|
3780
|
-
|
|
3781
|
-
##### Recipe Aliases
|
|
3782
|
-
|
|
3783
|
-
If you want to call the recipes in `~/.user.justfile` by name, and don't mind
|
|
3784
|
-
creating an alias for every recipe, add the following to your shell's
|
|
3785
|
-
initialization script:
|
|
3786
|
-
|
|
3787
|
-
```console
|
|
3788
|
-
for recipe in `just --justfile ~/.user.justfile --summary`; do
|
|
3789
|
-
alias $recipe="just --justfile ~/.user.justfile --working-directory . $recipe"
|
|
3790
|
-
done
|
|
3791
|
-
```
|
|
3792
|
-
|
|
3793
|
-
Now, if you have a recipe called `foo` in `~/.user.justfile`, you can just type
|
|
3794
|
-
`foo` at the command line to run it.
|
|
3795
|
-
|
|
3796
|
-
It took me way too long to realize that you could create recipe aliases like
|
|
3797
|
-
this. Notwithstanding my tardiness, I am very pleased to bring you this major
|
|
3798
|
-
advance in `justfile` technology.
|
|
3799
|
-
|
|
3800
|
-
##### Forwarding Alias
|
|
3801
|
-
|
|
3802
|
-
If you'd rather not create aliases for every recipe, you can create a single alias:
|
|
3803
|
-
|
|
3804
|
-
```console
|
|
3805
|
-
alias .j='just --justfile ~/.user.justfile --working-directory .'
|
|
3806
|
-
```
|
|
3807
|
-
|
|
3808
|
-
Now, if you have a recipe called `foo` in `~/.user.justfile`, you can just type
|
|
3809
|
-
`.j foo` at the command line to run it.
|
|
3810
|
-
|
|
3811
|
-
I'm pretty sure that nobody actually uses this feature, but it's there.
|
|
3812
|
-
|
|
3813
|
-
¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
|
|
3814
|
-
|
|
3815
|
-
##### Customization
|
|
3816
|
-
|
|
3817
|
-
You can customize the above aliases with additional options. For example, if
|
|
3818
|
-
you'd prefer to have the recipes in your `justfile` run in your home directory,
|
|
3819
|
-
instead of the current directory:
|
|
3820
|
-
|
|
3821
|
-
```console
|
|
3822
|
-
alias .j='just --justfile ~/.user.justfile --working-directory ~'
|
|
3823
|
-
```
|
|
3824
|
-
|
|
3825
|
-
### Node.js `package.json` Script Compatibility
|
|
3826
|
-
|
|
3827
|
-
The following export statement gives `just` recipes access to local Node module
|
|
3828
|
-
binaries, and makes `just` recipe commands behave more like `script` entries in
|
|
3829
|
-
Node.js `package.json` files:
|
|
3830
|
-
|
|
3831
|
-
```just
|
|
3832
|
-
export PATH := "./node_modules/.bin:" + env_var('PATH')
|
|
3833
|
-
```
|
|
3834
|
-
|
|
3835
|
-
### Paths on Windows
|
|
3836
|
-
|
|
3837
|
-
On Windows, functions that return paths will return `\`-separated paths. When
|
|
3838
|
-
not using PowerShell or `cmd.exe` these paths should be quoted to prevent the
|
|
3839
|
-
`\`s from being interpreted as character escapes:
|
|
3840
|
-
|
|
3841
|
-
```just
|
|
3842
|
-
ls:
|
|
3843
|
-
echo '{{absolute_path(".")}}'
|
|
3844
|
-
```
|
|
3845
|
-
|
|
3846
|
-
### Remote Justfiles
|
|
3847
|
-
|
|
3848
|
-
If you wish to include a `mod` or `import` source file in many `justfiles`
|
|
3849
|
-
without needing to duplicate it, you can use an optional `mod` or `import`,
|
|
3850
|
-
along with a recipe to fetch the module source:
|
|
3851
|
-
|
|
3852
|
-
```just
|
|
3853
|
-
import? 'foo.just'
|
|
3854
|
-
|
|
3855
|
-
fetch:
|
|
3856
|
-
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/casey/just/master/justfile > foo.just
|
|
3857
|
-
```
|
|
3858
|
-
|
|
3859
|
-
Given the above `justfile`, after running `just fetch`, the recipes in
|
|
3860
|
-
`foo.just` will be available.
|
|
3861
|
-
|
|
3862
|
-
### Alternatives and Prior Art

### Getting Started
|
|
3901
|
-
|
|
3902
|
-
`just` is written in Rust. Use
|
|
3903
|
-
[rustup](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) to install a Rust toolchain.
|
|
3904
|
-
|
|
3905
|
-
`just` is extensively tested. All new features must be covered by unit or
|
|
3906
|
-
integration tests. Unit tests are under
|
|
3907
|
-
[src](https://github.com/casey/just/blob/master/src), live alongside the code
|
|
3908
|
-
being tested, and test code in isolation. Integration tests are in the [tests
|
|
3909
|
-
directory](https://github.com/casey/just/blob/master/tests) and test the `just`
|
|
3910
|
-
binary from the outside by invoking `just` on a given `justfile` and set of
|
|
3911
|
-
command-line arguments, and checking the output.
|
|
3912
|
-
|
|
3913
|
-
You should write whichever type of tests are easiest to write for your feature
|
|
3914
|
-
while still providing good test coverage.
|
|
3915
|
-
|
|
3916
|
-
Unit tests are useful for testing new Rust functions that are used internally
|
|
3917
|
-
and as an aid for development. A good example are the unit tests which cover
|
|
3918
|
-
the
|
|
3919
|
-
[`unindent()` function](https://github.com/casey/just/blob/master/src/unindent.rs),
|
|
3920
|
-
used to unindent triple-quoted strings and backticks. `unindent()` has a bunch
|
|
3921
|
-
of tricky edge cases which are easy to exercise with unit tests that call
|
|
3922
|
-
`unindent()` directly.
|
|
3923
|
-
|
|
3924
|
-
Integration tests are useful for making sure that the final behavior of the
|
|
3925
|
-
`just` binary is correct. `unindent()` is also covered by integration tests
|
|
3926
|
-
which make sure that evaluating a triple-quoted string produces the correct
|
|
3927
|
-
unindented value. However, there are not integration tests for all possible
|
|
3928
|
-
cases. These are covered by faster, more concise unit tests that call
|
|
3929
|
-
`unindent()` directly.
|
|
3930
|
-
|
|
3931
|
-
Existing integration tests are in two forms, those that use the `test!` macro
|
|
3932
|
-
and those that use the `Test` struct directly. The `test!` macro, while often
|
|
3933
|
-
concise, is less flexible and harder to understand, so new tests should use the
|
|
3934
|
-
`Test` struct. The `Test` struct is a builder which allows for easily invoking
|
|
3935
|
-
`just` with a given `justfile`, arguments, and environment variables, and
|
|
3936
|
-
checking the program's stdout, stderr, and exit code .

### Contribution Workflow
|
|
3939
|
-
|
|
3940
|
-
1. Make sure the feature is wanted. There should be an open issue about the
|
|
3941
|
-
feature with a comment from [@casey](https://github.com/casey) saying that
|
|
3942
|
-
it's a good idea or seems reasonable. If there isn't, open a new issue and
|
|
3943
|
-
ask for feedback.
|
|
3944
|
-
|
|
3945
|
-
There are lots of good features which can't be merged, either because they
|
|
3946
|
-
aren't backwards compatible, have an implementation which would
|
|
3947
|
-
overcomplicate the codebase, or go against `just`'s design philosophy.
|
|
3948
|
-
|
|
3949
|
-
2. Settle on the design of the feature. If the feature has multiple possible
|
|
3950
|
-
implementations or syntaxes, make sure to nail down the details in the
|
|

issue.
|
|
3952
|
-
|
|
3953
|
-
3. Clone `just` and start hacking. The best workflow is to have the code you're
|
|
3954
|
-
working on in an editor alongside a job that re-runs tests whenever a file
|
|
3955
|
-
changes. You can run such a job by installing
|
|
3956
|
-
[cargo-watch](https://github.com/watchexec/cargo-watch) with `cargo install
|
|
3957
|
-
cargo-watch` and running `just watch test`.
|
|
3958
|
-
|
|
3959
|
-
4. Add a failing test for your feature. Most of the time this will be an
|
|
3960
|
-
integration test which exercises the feature end-to-end. Look for an
|
|
3961
|
-
appropriate file to put the test in in
|
|
3962
|
-
[tests](https://github.com/casey/just/blob/master/tests), or add a new file
|
|
3963
|
-
in [tests](https://github.com/casey/just/blob/master/tests) and add a `mod`
|
|
3964
|
-
statement importing that file in
|
|
3965
|
-
[tests/lib.rs](https://github.com/casey/just/blob/master/tests/lib.rs).
|
|
3966
|
-
|
|
3967
|
-
5. Implement the feature.
|
|
3968
|
-
|
|
3969
|
-
6. Run `just ci` to make sure that all tests, lints, and checks pass.
|
|
3970
|
-
|
|
3971
|
-
7. Open a PR with the new code that is editable by maintainers. PRs often
|
|
3972
|
-
require rebasing and minor tweaks. If the PR is not editable by maintainers,
|
|
3973
|
-
each rebase and tweak will require a round trip of code review. Your PR may
|
|
3974
|
-
be summarily closed if it is not editable by maintainers.
|
|
3975
|
-
|
|
3976
|
-
8. Incorporate feedback.
|
|
3977
|
-
|
|
3978
|
-
9. Enjoy the sweet feeling of your PR getting merged!
|
|
3979
|
-
|
|
3980
|
-
Feel free to open a draft PR at any time for discussion and feedback.

### Hints
|
|
3983
|
-
|
|
3984
|
-
Here are some hints to get you started with specific kinds of new features,
|
|
3985
|
-
which you can use in addition to the contribution workflow above.
|

#### Adding a New Attribute
|
|
3988
|
-
|
|
3989
|
-
1. Write a new integration test in
|
|
3990
|
-
[tests/attributes.rs](https://github.com/casey/just/blob/master/tests/attributes.rs).
|
|
3991
|
-
|
|
3992
|
-
2. Add a new variant to the
|
|
3993
|
-
[`Attribute`](https://github.com/casey/just/blob/master/src/attribute.rs)
|
|
3994
|
-
enum.
|
|
3995
|
-
|
|
3996
|
-
3. Implement the functionality of the new attribute.
|
|
3997
|
-
|
|
3998
|
-
4. Run `just ci` to make sure that all tests pass.

### Janus
|
|
4001
|
-
|
|
4002
|
-
[Janus](https://github.com/casey/janus) is a tool for checking whether a change
|
|
4003
|
-
to `just` breaks or changes the interpretation of existing `justfile`s. It
|
|
4004
|
-
collects and analyzes public `justfile`s on GitHub.
|
|
4005
|
-
|
|
4006
|
-
Before merging a particularly large or gruesome change, Janus should be run to
|
|
4007
|
-
make sure that nothing breaks. Don't worry about running Janus yourself, Casey
|
|
4008
|
-
will happily run it for you on changes that need it.
|
|

|
-
### Minimum Supported Rust Version
|
|
4011
|
-
|
|
4012
|
-
The minimum supported Rust version, or MSRV, is current stable Rust. It may
|
|
4013
|
-
build on older versions of Rust, but this is not guaranteed.
|
|
4014
|
-
|
|
4015
|
-

Frequently Asked Questions

|

### What are the idiosyncrasies of Make that Just avoids?
|
|
4036
|
-
|
|
4037
|
-
`make` has some behaviors which are confusing, complicated, or make it
|
|
4038
|
-
unsuitable for use as a general command runner.
|
|
4039
|
-
|
|
4040
|
-
One example is that under some circumstances, `make` won't actually run the
|
|
4041
|
-
commands in a recipe. For example, if you have a file called `test` and the
|
|
4042
|
-
following makefile:
|
|
4043
|
-
|
|
4044
|
-
```just
|
|
4045
|
-
test:
|
|
4046
|
-
./test
|
|
4047
|
-
```
|
|
4048
|
-
|
|
4049
|
-
`make` will refuse to run your tests:
|
|
4050
|
-
|
|
4051
|
-
```console
|
|
4052
|
-
$ make test
|
|
4053
|
-
make: `test' is up to date.
|
|
4054
|
-
```
|
|
4055
|
-
|
|
4056
|
-
`make` assumes that the `test` recipe produces a file called `test`. Since this
|
|
4057
|
-
file exists and the recipe has no other dependencies, `make` thinks that it
|
|
4058
|
-
doesn't have anything to do and exits.
|
|
4059
|
-
|
|
4060
|
-
To be fair, this behavior is desirable when using `make` as a build system, but
|
|
4061
|
-
not when using it as a command runner. You can disable this behavior for
|
|
4062
|
-
specific targets using `make`'s built-in
|
|
4063
|
-
[`.PHONY` target name](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Phony-Targets.html),
|
|
4064
|
-
but the syntax is verbose and can be hard to remember. The explicit list of
|
|
4065
|
-
phony targets, written separately from the recipe definitions, also introduces
|
|
4066
|
-
the risk of accidentally defining a new non-phony target. In `just`, all
|
|
4067
|
-
recipes are treated as if they were phony.
|
|
4068
|
-
|
|
4069
|
-
Other examples of `make`'s idiosyncrasies include the difference between `=`
|
|
4070
|
-
and `:=` in assignments, the confusing error messages that are produced if you
|
|
4071
|
-
mess up your makefile, needing `$$` to use environment variables in recipes,
|
|
4072
|
-
and incompatibilities between different flavors of `make`.

### What's the relationship between Just and Cargo build scripts?
|
|
4075
|
-
|
|
4076
|
-
[`cargo` build scripts](http://doc.crates.io/build-script.html) have a pretty
|
|
4077
|
-
specific use, which is to control how `cargo` builds your Rust project. This
|
|
4078
|
-
might include adding flags to `rustc` invocations, building an external
|
|
4079
|
-
dependency, or running some kind of codegen step.
|
|
4080
|
-
|
|
4081
|
-
`just`, on the other hand, is for all the other miscellaneous commands you
|
|
4082
|
-
might run as part of development. Things like running tests in different
|
|
4083
|
-
configurations, linting your code, pushing build artifacts to a server,
|
|
4084
|
-
removing temporary files, and the like.
|
|
4085
|
-
|
|
4086
|
-
Also, although `just` is written in Rust, it can be used regardless of the
|
|
4087
|
-
language or build system your project uses.

Further Ramblings
|
|
4090
|
-
-----------------
|
|
4091
|
-
|
|
4092
|
-
I personally find it very useful to write a `justfile` for almost every
|
|
4093
|
-
project, big or small.
|
|
4094
|
-
|
|
4095
|
-
On a big project with multiple contributors, it's very useful to have a file
|
|
4096
|
-
with all the commands needed to work on the project close at hand.
|
|
4097
|
-
|
|
4098
|
-
There are probably different commands to test, build, lint, deploy, and the
|
|
4099
|
-
like, and having them all in one place is useful and cuts down on the time you
|
|
4100
|
-
have to spend telling people which commands to run and how to type them.
|
|
4101
|
-
|
|
4102
|
-
And, with an easy place to put commands, it's likely that you'll come up with
|
|
4103
|
-
other useful things which are part of the project's collective wisdom, but
|
|
4104
|
-
which aren't written down anywhere, like the arcane commands needed for some
|
|
4105
|
-
part of your revision control workflow, to install all your project's
|
|
4106
|
-
dependencies, or all the random flags you might need to pass to the build
|
|
4107
|
-
system.
|
|
4108
|
-
|
|
4109
|
-
Some ideas for recipes:
|
|
4110
|
-
|
|
4111
|
-
- Deploying/publishing the project
|
|
4112
|
-
|
|
4113
|
-
- Building in release mode vs debug mode
|
|
4114
|
-
|
|
4115
|
-
- Running in debug mode or with logging enabled
|
|
4116
|
-
|
|
4117
|
-
- Complex git workflows
|
|
4118
|
-
|
|
4119
|
-
- Updating dependencies
|
|
4120
|
-
|
|
4121
|
-
- Running different sets of tests, for example fast tests vs slow tests, or
|
|
4122
|
-
running them with verbose output

mysterious build system and know that all the commands you need to do whatever
|
|
4131

you need to do are in the `justfile`, and that if you type `just` something

useful (or at least interesting!) will probably happen.
