Add option: args

See original GitHub issue

Issue Type

Feature Request

Add a new args string array property to workspace.globals and workspace.scripts[scriptName].

This would allow default arguments to be appended to the interpolated command. Here are some examples:

Script:

scripts:
  develop:
    file: main.ts
    args:
      - hello
globals:
  deno_options:
    allow-read: true

> denox run develop
# equal to:
# deno run --allow-read main.ts hello

> denox run develop more args
# equal to:
# deno run --allow-read main.ts hello more args

Global:

scripts:
  develop:
    file: main.ts
globals:
  args:
    - foo bar
    - baz
  deno_options:
    allow-read: true

> denox run develop
# equal to:
# deno run --allow-read main.ts "foo bar" baz

> denox run develop more args
# equal to:
# deno run --allow-read main.ts "foo bar" baz more args

Both: (script replaces global, like with deno_options)

scripts:
  develop:
    file: main.ts
    args:
      - nice to
      - meet you
globals:
  args:
    - foo bar
    - baz
  deno_options:
    allow-read: true

> denox run develop
# equal to:
# deno run --allow-read main.ts "nice to" "meet you"

> denox run develop more args
# equal to:
# deno run --allow-read main.ts "nice to" "meet you" more args

Definitely I agree with you.

I’ll go ahead with first implementing the cmd.

I may reconsider args in the future, the only possibility that I see with args that wouldn’t be possible with cmd is the possibility to merge args from the global workspace which is an edge case that most users wouldn’t need.

You also lose the ability to restrict permissions when using cmd instead of args.
