Hi Eduardo,
I am using *doit --verbosity 2* command. I did not use *doit -url* command.

Hi Prajwala,
This is error for your command line, not for your task's action. What
is your command line? It should be:
$ doit block_test
it seems you are doing something like
$ doit --url
sub-commands are "run", "list", "clean"...
after "doit" command you need to specify a sub-command or a task name

Re: new feature: auto run

I have a doubt.
It is clear that doit auto run when a dependency file modified.
How do I know if the run failed?
How does it notified the user when it fails?

sorry I should had given more details...
Right now "doit auto task_x" executes in the same as "doit run
task_x". the difference is that "run" will execute it immediately and
exit. "auto" will execute when a dependency file is modified. all the
rules of when a task is executed are the same. I guess it should be

Hello,
I've just tried and worked fine. It looks like a great idea to have a
task continuously up-to-date.
The only unexpected behaviour that I've seen is that, when the task
contains subtasks, the ones that don't depend on any file may be
executed periodically every few seconds. For example, I use a subtask

Hi guys,
I just added an "auto-run" feature for doit. It is a long running
process that will automalically re-execute your tasks when a depedency
file is modified. It uses inotify to get notifications from the file
system.
1) get latest revision from bzr-launchpad rev223
2) install Pyinotify (easy_install pyinotify)

Packaging with doit

Hello,
I've recently written an article about how do I use doit to make
debian packages for ubuntu. In case you'd like take a look at it, this

Great - I converted my task to the new method.

getargs ?
With the subprocess workaround I built the shell command within the

substitute many variables. In converting the task I had to move the

I finally found some time to implement this. Now you can use
saved/computed values from another task. Here is a trivial example
------------------------------ --
DEFAULT_TASKS = ['use']
def task_compute():
def comp():
return {'x':5,'y':10, 'z': 20}
return {'actions': [(comp,)]}

Re: Can dependencies "expire" somehow?

Well, as of today there is no way to expire dependencies in doit
itself... but maybe it is not hard to support/achieve it somehow. I
will give it a try - but just next year ;)
Can you share some code of how you use doit? I am curious :) - you can
send me in private if you prefer.
