Another new release for Mage -https://github.com/magefile/mage/releases/tag/v1.17.0
Adds support for retaining line returns in help text output. Minor, but a papercut that now is fixed.
Also updated the whole codebase to remove old crufty code, added tests, and a modern lint configuration.
Say you have
func Speak(msg string, upper *bool, repeat *count)
Mage can now call this as
mage speak -upper "this is all uppercase"
or
mage speak -repeat=2 "say this twice"
and of course, this still works
mage speak "this comes out as-is"
(obv depending on the implementation of speak)
Big update for Mage. I shipped optional arguments (flags)! Something long desired but difficult to get off the ground. Opus 4.6 took my description and nailed it in one shot.
I just had to tell it to update the website with docs. Shipped in v1.16.0
magefile.org/targets/
Example below
In the 500k-ish lines of go code for my project at work, we have 4 fallthrough statements.
One was used incorrectly.
Two fell through to default and probably should have the default logic moved outside the switch.
Just one was arguably necessary.
#golang pro-tip:
Fallthrough literally falls through to the *next* case statement, no matter what the next `case xxxx` statement checks.
Fallthrough does not continue checking case statements and it doesn't jump to the `default:` statement.
