for is working for cmds but not for deps

[leobenkel]

• Task version:

task --version
Task version: v3.35.1 (h1:zjQ3tLv+LIStDDTzOQx8F97NE/8FSTanjZuwgy/hwro=)

• Operating system:

uname -a
Linux xxx 6.5.0-25-generic #25~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Feb 20 16:09:15 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

so when i do:

  build_module:
    requires:
      vars:
      - MODULE_NAME
      - ROOT_DIR
    vars:
      MODULE_NAME: '{{ .MODULE_NAME | default "" }}'
    preconditions:
      - sh: test -f {{.ROOT_DIR}}/modules/{{.MODULE_NAME}}/build.sh
    cmds:
      - echo "Building the {{.MODULE_NAME}} image"
      - echo "cd {{.ROOT_DIR}}/modules/{{.MODULE_NAME}}"

  build_all:
    vars:
      MODULES: a b c
    cmds:
      - for: [a, b, c]
        task: build_module
        vars:
          MODULE_NAME: '{{.ITEM}}'

it works

but if you replace cmds by deps it does not work anymore.

and i have tried with for: {var: MODULES} and it behave the same as well: works with cmds but not with deps

Hi @leobenkel. Unfortunately, our docs are not currently versioned so this has been added to the site before it has been released. The looping over deps functionality was only merged to main a few days ago (#1541) and will be released in the next version of Task.

Also in the next release, we will be changing how we version our docs so that this kind of confusion doesn't keep happening.
