Consider for example db:fixtures:load FIXTURES=my_fixtures. To run it with the rake task runner, you need to either type in the params first or type in the whole task name, making it a bit cumbersome to use.
I don't understand. You do not need to type the whole task name. Just type e.g. 'load', select the task (if it is not the first match), then type your parameters and press Enter. Selected task is used. I'm welcomed to any ideas for enhancements.
Well I guess I was confused about how it works since the task name that gets run is not filled in the filter field, which is what I think should happen when the focus is lost from the filter field (i.e. when tabbing to the param field).
On a second thought, maybe the current behaviour is better than filling in the filter field. Just that there is something counterintuitive in the UI for me, probably specifying params above the actual task for those params below the param field.
Yes, it would not behave well if the filter field was fulfilled with full task name on filter field's focus lost, since it would apply the filter and this would change the list of task to just one list - all on focus lost. That would be strange. What about to provide read-only field on the bottom which would show what is going to be invoked, like Command: [rake db:fixtures:load FIXTURES=my_fixtures ] Might be 'Command' is not the best choice. Any ideas?
Hmm, just noticed that I reopened this which I didn't mean to. Changing to an enhancement. The read-only field would probably help, not sure about 'Command' either, but can't think of anything better now.
With recent changes this might not be such a big issue. I'm leaving it opened in the case there are more people confused. If you have any idea for improvements they are welcomed.
