task's Introduction

task-bridge

a simple bridge for taskwarrior to ubuntu subsystem on windows.

installation

a) activate subsystem and install taskwarrior

install ubuntu: https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9NBLGGH4MSV6 follow its instructions in the description
install taskwarrior: start the ubuntu app, run sudo apt update && sudo apt install taskwarrior
test taskwarrior task and configure as you wish

b) install this repo

npm i -g git+https://github.com/ttschnz/task.git#master

for some reason it opens the .js file in an editor instead of running it via node, so you need to change some things after the installation:

edit %appdata%/npm/task.cmd to:

@ECHO off
SETLOCAL
CALL :find_dp0

IF EXIST "%dp0%\node.exe" (
  SET "_prog=%dp0%\node.exe"
) ELSE (
  SET "_prog=node"
  SET PATHEXT=%PATHEXT:;.JS;=;%
)

"%_prog%"  "%dp0%\node_modules\task\bin\main.js" %*
ENDLOCAL
EXIT /b %errorlevel%
:find_dp0
SET dp0=%~dp0
EXIT /b

edit %appdata%/npm/task to

#!/bin/sh
basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's,\\,/,g')")

case `uname` in
    *CYGWIN*|*MINGW*|*MSYS*) basedir=`cygpath -w "$basedir"`;;
esac

if [ -x "$basedir/node" ]; then
  "$basedir/node"  "$basedir/node_modules/task/bin/main.js" "$@"
  ret=$?
else 
  node  "$basedir/node_modules/task/bin/main.js" "$@"
  ret=$?
fi
exit $ret

edit %appdata%/npm/task.ps1 to

#!/usr/bin/env pwsh
$basedir=Split-Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition -Parent

$exe=""
if ($PSVersionTable.PSVersion -lt "6.0" -or $IsWindows) {
  # Fix case when both the Windows and Linux builds of Node
  # are installed in the same directory
  $exe=".exe"
}
if (Test-Path "$basedir/node$exe") {
  & "$basedir/node$exe"  "$basedir/node_modules/task/bin/main.js" $args
  $ret=$LASTEXITCODE
} else {
  & "node$exe"  "$basedir/node_modules/task/bin/main.js" $args
  $ret=$LASTEXITCODE
}
exit $ret
