Possibility to allow pass go template variable {{.XYZ}} as string

[pmysiak]

Description

There is no possibility to pass go template variables as string to command

Example:
I would like to run command
docker compose ps -a --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Image}}\t{{.Name}}"
but it's impossible due to go task engine evaluate {{.ID}}, {{.Image}}.

Task

docker:compose:services:
    cmds:
      - docker compose ps -a --format "table {{.ID}}"

I tried

• escaping $$ and {{ "{{" }}
• printing {{print "{{"}}
• replacing {{"x" | replace "{" 2}}
• run as sh -c
• quoting

I really love taskfile ❤️ It helps me everyday

Thanks

There are many ways to do this, including:
- echo foo {{"{{.ID}}"}}

Google or any GPT clone will come up with a smorgasbord of suggestions.

My bad :(

This work 👍

docker:compose:services:
    cmds:
      - docker compose ps -a --format "table {{"{{.ID}}"}}"

I provide simplified example and that's the point

Example where it does not work ⛔ (and I'm trying to solve it)

  docker:compose:
    desc: Run docker compose command
    cmds:
      - docker compose {{default "version" .COMMAND}}
  
  docker:compose:services:
    desc: Show docker compose services
    cmds:
      - task: docker:compose
        vars:
          COMMAND: ps -a --format "table {{"{{.ID}}"}}"
