feat(task): support glob patterns in task_config.includes by jdx · Pull Request #7870 · jdx/mise

jdx · 2026-01-28T14:48:46Z

Summary

Adds support for glob patterns in task_config.includes
Patterns containing *, ?, or [ are now expanded using glob matching
Non-glob paths continue to work as before (literal path matching)

Example:

[task_config]
includes = ["tasks/*.toml", "extra-tasks.toml"]

This allows users to include all task files from a directory without listing each one individually.

Fixes: #7860

Test plan

Added e2e test test_task_includes_glob that verifies:
- Glob patterns like tasks/*.toml discover all matching files
- Tasks from glob-matched files are properly loaded and executable
- Mixing glob patterns with literal paths works correctly

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Note

Adds glob expansion for task includes, enabling patterns like tasks/*.toml.

Introduces is_glob_pattern and expand_task_include to resolve includes to concrete paths
Updates load_file_tasks and task_includes_for_dir to expand globs (while keeping git:: URLs handled separately)
Ensures both directories and individual TOML task files from glob matches are loaded and executed
Adds e2e test test_task_includes_glob validating discovery, execution, and mixing glob with literal paths

^{Written by Cursor Bugbot for commit 4a0649c. This will update automatically on new commits. Configure here.}

Adds support for glob patterns like `tasks/*.toml` in the `task_config.includes` configuration option. Previously, each include path was treated as a literal path. Now patterns containing `*`, `?`, or `[` are expanded using glob matching. Example: ```toml [task_config] includes = ["tasks/*.toml"] ``` Fixes: #7860 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Copilot

Pull request overview

This PR adds glob pattern support to task_config.includes, allowing users to include multiple task files using wildcard patterns like tasks/*.toml instead of listing each file individually.

Changes:

Modified task include resolution to detect and expand glob patterns (containing *, ?, or [)
Changed from filter_map to flat_map to handle one-to-many pattern-to-path mapping
Added e2e test validating glob pattern expansion and mixing glob with literal paths

src/config/mod.rs

+                return vec![];
+            }
+            // Check if pattern contains glob characters
+            if p.contains('*') || p.contains('?') || p.contains('[') {


The glob detection logic is incomplete. Glob patterns can also contain ] (closing bracket for character classes) and { or } (for brace expansion like {a,b}). Additionally, escaped glob characters (e.g., \*) would be incorrectly treated as glob patterns. Consider using a more robust detection method or checking if the glob function returns multiple results to determine if expansion occurred.

+            // Check if pattern contains glob characters
+            if p.contains('*') || p.contains('?') || p.contains('[') {
+                // Use glob expansion
+                glob(dir, &p).unwrap_or_default()


Using unwrap_or_default() silently ignores glob errors, making it difficult for users to debug invalid patterns. Consider logging the error or propagating it so users receive feedback when their glob pattern is malformed.

Suggested change

glob(dir, &p).unwrap_or_default()

glob(dir, &p).unwrap_or_else(|err| {

eprintln!(

"Failed to expand glob pattern '{}' in '{}': {}",

p,

dir.display(),

err

);

src/config/mod.rs

- Extract helper functions `is_glob_pattern` and `expand_task_include` to reduce code duplication - Add `]`, `{`, `}` to glob metacharacter detection - Log warnings for glob errors instead of silently ignoring them - Apply glob expansion to `load_file_tasks` so globs work in global config includes, not just local configs Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
