Hello everyone,
I've been looking at something that has been confusing me for a while. It
appears that MultiTask and Task send different arguments to their prerequisites
and I can't figure out the reason why. I'm hoping someone on the list will know
right away.
I've looked and the code for each case and expanded it and they are basically
identical except for this last remaining functional difference between the two:
TASK
@prerequisites.collect { |p|
prereq = lookup_prerequisite(p) # returns a task
prereq_args = args.new_scope(prereq.arg_names)
prereq.invoke_with_call_chain(prereq_args, invocation_chain)
}
MULTITASK
@prerequisites.collect do |p|
prereq = lookup_prerequisite(p) # returns a task
prereq.invoke_with_call_chain(args, invocation_chain)
end
Why the extra
prereq_args = args.new_scope(prereq.arg_names)
in the TASK case? How does its absence affect MultiTask argument processing?
Shouldn't they be the same?
Any ideas?
Thank you,
_ michael
