File tasks can now share usage definitions without hard-coding absolute paths.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
#USAGE include file="$MISE_CONFIG_ROOT/shared.usage.kdl"
#USAGE use "common"

Relative include paths resolve from the directory containing the task file. Include paths also accept $NAME and ${NAME} references from mise's startup environment, with $$ producing a literal dollar sign. mise supplies MISE_CONFIG_ROOT, MISE_PROJECT_ROOT, MISE_TASK_DIR, and MISE_TASK_FILE while parsing file-task usage, including execution, help, listing, and validation paths. Task and project env directives are intentionally not used to select usage includes because preflight parsing runs before those directives and their hooks. Undefined variables produce an invalid-usage diagnostic while leaving the task loadable without that interface.

Dependency

This is stacked on jdx/usage#1446. The Cargo dependency and lockfile are intentionally unchanged, so CI will fail on the missing Spec::parse_str_with_path and Spec::parse_str_with_path_and_env APIs until a usage-lib release containing that PR is available and mise bumps to it.

Validation

Tested with a temporary local override to usage#1446, then removed the override before committing:

  • focused file-task usage tests pass, including relative includes and $MISE_CONFIG_ROOT
  • a new end-to-end test passes execution, help, task listing, validation, ambient-variable expansion, and the undefined-variable diagnostic
  • full all-feature, all-target clippy passes
  • mise run lint-fix passes against the temporary usage#1446 override; with the committed 6.9.1 lockfile, Rust checks fail at the expected missing usage-lib APIs

Note

Medium Risk
Changes how file-task usage specs are parsed across execution and display paths; incorrect path/env resolution could break shared usage includes, though failures are scoped to per-task usage with fallbacks for invalid specs.

Overview
File-task #USAGE include paths now resolve relative paths from the task file’s directory and expand $VAR / ${VAR} using mise’s startup environment plus MISE_CONFIG_ROOT, MISE_PROJECT_ROOT, MISE_TASK_DIR, and MISE_TASK_FILE when parsing usage (run, help, listing, validation, and preflight). Parsing goes through parse_str_with_path_and_env with that env map; undefined variables surface as invalid usage specs while the task remains loadable without the broken interface.

Docs replace the old “absolute path only” warning with the new resolution rules and recommend $MISE_CONFIG_ROOT in file tasks instead of Tera. An e2e script and unit tests cover shared includes, custom env vars, and missing-variable diagnostics.

Note: Depends on usage-lib APIs from jdx/usage#1446 until the dependency is bumped.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Updated task argument examples to use MISE_CONFIG_ROOT for shared usage files.
    • Clarified that relative include paths resolve from the task file’s directory.
    • Documented environment variable expansion, literal dollar signs, and undefined-variable handling in include paths.
    • Added guidance for constructing paths in mise.toml tasks and distinguishing them from file-task usage comments.
  • Bug Fixes

    • File-task usage specifications now correctly resolve relative includes and environment-based paths such as $MISE_CONFIG_ROOT.
    • Included usage flags are now recognized consistently during task execution, help display, listing, and validation.

Summary

This revision aligns file-task usage parsing across execution, help, listing, and validation, and adds end-to-end coverage.

  • Relative usage include paths resolve from the task file’s directory.
  • Include paths can expand startup-environment variables and mise-provided task paths.
  • Documentation now clarifies that task and project environment directives are unavailable during usage parsing.
  • End-to-end coverage exercises execution, help, listing, validation, ambient variables, and undefined-variable diagnostics.

P1 Dependency APIs Are Unavailable

The new code calls Spec::parse_str_with_path_and_env and Spec::parse_str_with_path, but the locked usage-lib 6.9.1 does not provide these APIs. As a result, this revision cannot compile or run tests until the dependency is updated to a release containing them.

Confirmed. This PR is intentionally stacked on jdx/usage#1446, and the dependency and lockfile are deliberately unchanged until an applicable usage-lib release exists. The PR description calls out the expected compile failure; I will bump the released crate here when it becomes available.

P1 Display Uses Incomplete Environment

Execution parses includes with the fully resolved task environment, but this display environment contains only the pristine process environment and four MISE_* paths. An include such as file="$USAGE_DIR/shared.usage.kdl", where USAGE_DIR is declared in task or project configuration, therefore works during execution but is undefined in task help, listing, info, and validation. The warning fallback then returns an empty spec and hides the task's real interface.

Resolved in 27179ec by making the supported environment explicit and consistent. Include selection uses mise startup environment plus the stable MISE_CONFIG_ROOT, MISE_PROJECT_ROOT, MISE_TASK_DIR, and MISE_TASK_FILE values in execution, display, and preflight. Task/project env directives are intentionally not eligible because preflight must not resolve source/module hooks ahead of dependencies; the docs now state that boundary. End-to-end coverage checks ambient variables across execution and help.

P2 Public Paths Lack Coverage

These tests cover a relative include and $MISE_CONFIG_ROOT only through direct or display parsing. There is no end-to-end test covering execution, help, and validation for file-task includes, including the documented undefined-variable diagnostic. Without that coverage, the separate environment-building paths can regress or diverge without detection.

Added end-to-end coverage in 27179ec. It exercises file-task includes through execution, help, tasks ls --usage, and tasks validate, plus ambient-variable expansion and the undefined-variable diagnostic. The test passes locally against the stacked usage change.

Line 1204 calls an API that the committed usage-rs 6.8 lockfile does not provide. The PR objectives confirm that normal full linting fails without a temporary local override. Update the dependency and lockfile to a release or pinned revision that contains this API before merge. Otherwise the default build cannot compile.

Confirmed. This PR is intentionally expected to fail until jdx/usage#1446 is included in a crates.io release. Per the requested sequencing, the dependency and lockfile remain unchanged until that release exists; I will then update them and validate the default build and end-to-end coverage before this is merge-ready.

@jdx, understood. The finding remains valid until the release of jdx/usage#1446 is available and this PR updates the dependency and lockfile. Please rerun the default build and end-to-end coverage after that update.
