`TASKFILE_DIR` with incorrect value

[vmaerten]

Hello!
First of all, even if it works because variables are global, it's not recommanded to use variable declared in a children.

Back to your question, it's intended. We load all variables / envs when we read all the Taskfiles in the DAG. Then, each time we run a task (here we run included:test and test) we compile variables / envs , so:

• first run (included:test) we compile PROJECT_ROOT to TASKFILE_DIR (=> '/Users/user/includes')
• second run (test) we we compile PROJECT_ROOT to TASKFILE_DIR (=> '/Users/user/')

Why do we that ? because some variables rely on special variables (TASKFILE_DIR & co) or rely on sh variable which need to be compiled at runtime.

If you want to achieve this, I recommand to declare the variable / env in the Taskfile you want to use it

Hi, @vmaerten

Thanks, I totally understand how it happened.

IMHO, if it's not recommended to use global variable / env from included taskfile, I'll strongly suggest that do not make the variables / envs from an included taskfile accessible outside of it. This is misleading and easily accidentally referenced it.

Thanks for your answering.
