just --list --unsorted deals with imports in reverse order.

Hi.

Just noticed the following: whereas just --list --unsorted lists the recipes in the order in which they are defined in the Justfile, it lists the recipes in the imported Justfiles in the reverse order in which the Justfiles are imported.

This is hugely counterintuitive.

Fixed in #2085. Thank you for the report!

[gl-yziquel]

You're most welcome. Now, I'll have to reverse all my imports...

[gl-yziquel]

Hmmmh. I just built 1.27.0 (which is where I see the puported fix in the git history). And I still see the buggy behaviour.

Justfile:

import "task1.just"
import "task2.just"

[private]
@help:
    just --list --unsorted --justfile "{{ justfile() }}"

task1.just:

task1:
    echo Task 1

task2.just:

task2:
    echo Task 2

When running just, I get:

Available recipes:
    task2
    task1

Wrong ordering.

I don't see it fixed.

Sigh, I fixed it for modules, not imports 😅

[casey]

Fixed in #2092!

[gl-yziquel]

Yes. Much better. However, if you allow me to be a pain, here is another related behaviour, which I'm not sure will be most easy to address:

Justfile:

import "task1.just"
import "task2.just"

[private]
@help:
    just --list --unsorted --justfile "{{ justfile() }}"

task3:
    echo Task 3

That will render as follows:

Available recipes:
    task3
    task1
    task2

Not sure how easy that behaviour will be to fix. Should I open another issue ?

[casey]

Hmmm, the current behavior is that recipes in the current module are printed first, then recipes from imports, which are printed first by the order of the import in the top file, and then in the order they appear in the import.

I can see the argument for printing them, in the case of your example, in task1 task2 task3 order. Why don't you open an issue and we can get some user feedback?

[gl-yziquel]

OK.

Discussion ? Or issue ?

I assume discussion.
