Looping over tasks with different environment

[ms1331]

I want to loop over an internal task, setting a different environment every time, but I cannot get it to work. This is my taskfile:

version: '3'
vars:
  list: 'one two'

tasks:
  print:
    silent: true
    cmds:
      - |
        echo "{{.VAR}}"
    vars:
      VAR: '{{default "default" .VAR}}'

  works:
    silent: true
    cmds:
      - |
        {{range $i := splitList " " .list}}
        go-task print VAR={{$i}}
        {{end}}

  doesnt-work:
    deps:
      - |
        {{range $i := splitList " " .list}}
        task: print
        vars: { VAR: {{$i}} }
        {{end}

and when I run it it produces the following:

m93p% go-task print
default
m93p% go-task works
one
two
m93p% go-task doesnt-work
task: Task "\ntask: print \nvars: { VAR: one }\n\ntask: print \nvars: { VAR: two }\n\n" does not exist
task: Task "\ntask: print \nvars: { VAR: one }\n\ntask: print \nvars: { VAR: two }\n\n" does not exist

If I set the print task to be internal: true, the works task will stop working. If anyone has ideas on how to implement that, I'd love to see them. Thanks!

EDIT:
I am using this version:

m93p% apk info go-task
go-task-3.24.0-r1

on Alpine Linux if that matters...

Hi @ms1331,

Template only work inside each attribute. You can't use it inside deps like you tried.

See #82 and #1220 if you're interested in having loops an a native feature.
