Redirect input

[EderBeldad]

Can't find a way to redirect input by using the configuration files. Is there a way?

I tried something like:

{
    "cmake": {
        "cmd": "cmake",
        "dap_name": "lldb",
        "target": "longest-palindrome",
        "build_dir": "build",
        "args": {
            "configure": ["-DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=1"],
            "debug": ["<", "./sample-input.txt"]
        },
        "build_type": "Debug"
    }
}

        "debug": ["<", "./sample-input.txt"]

Should it be "debug": [">", "./sample-input.txt"]?

[EderBeldad]

Should it be "debug": [">", "./sample-input.txt"]?

That would redirect output, not input (and would also be a desirable feature!).

Ideally (imho) it should work as vscode. Although having stdin/stdout as extra parameters would also be convenient.

Oh, I see. Makes sense, but not sure if it's possible.
I use Job API from plenary: https://github.com/nvim-lua/plenary.nvim/blob/master/lua/plenary/job.lua
If it does not support it, I can't fix it. I would suggest to open issue there.

Seems that it has support for it (kind of):

https://github.com/nvim-lua/plenary.nvim/blob/master/lua/plenary/job.lua#L667C17-L667C17

This allows for sending data into stdin after job has started. (It would require for the file to be opened, read, and sent into the job)

[Shatur]

Right, then we probably could add support for it by providing additional stdin parameter with paths.
And just use it in this function:

neovim-tasks/lua/tasks/runner.lua

Line 98 in f42b164

function runner.chain_commands(task_name, commands, module_config, addition_args, previous_job)

I currently busy at the moment, but if you would like to play with it - PRs are welcome.
