Binding a context to task functions referenced in series and parallel about undertaker HOT 5 CLOSED

A custom registry can do tons of things.

How I would handle this:

• Come up with a convention for internal tasks (like prefix with double underscore, e.g. __copyHtml)
• Inside the custom registry's .set() method, check if the name has the double underscore, and if it does, add it to a separate object attached to your custom registry. Also, make sure to bind the context and return the newly bound function in this method.
• Inside the custom registry's .get() method, check the name for double underscores and fetch out of the correct object.
• Inside the custom registry's .tree() method, only return public tasks. This method is used for exposing things to the CLI.
• Inside the custom registry's .init() method, register all tasks (public and private).

I think the above solution solves all your problems. The implementation for custom registries had a ton of thought behind it to allow you to implement these types of things but you need to think thoroughly about the solution. This is a highly advanced feature for gulp and you can do lots of wonderful and scary things.

I threw something together to bind my functions before I passed them in to series and parallel and discovered that then makes my tasks tree say they are all the same function name. I'm guessing it relates to gulpjs/gulp#1159

As it is it looks to me like the cleanest solution is to just wrap in a factory function and close over the config parameter.

Ok thanks that gave me some ideas. I'm going to see if I can find a way to do it without the abstraction enforcing the task functions to need to be prefixed with a double underscore.

@mikehaas763 was this the same thing as #32 ? I'd like to close that one if so

No it's not.
