Find And Replace Task Of CumulusCI not working about cumulusci HOT 5 CLOSED

@prakash-concret Thank you for the reproduction.

Root cause: This is related to a change made to that task as part of #1618 to move to Pydantic-based task option validation framework.

Workaround: The most straightforward workaround is to directly update your task to use parsed_options instead:

diff --git a/tasks/example.py b/tasks/example.py
index f07dc6a..daa2a30 100644
--- a/tasks/example.py
+++ b/tasks/example.py
@@ -50,4 +50,4 @@ class FindReplaceUsername(FindReplace):
         # Run the _init_options logic from FindReplace
         super()._init_options(kwargs)
         # Set the replace option to the org's username
-        self.options["replace"] = self.org_config.username
+        self.parsed_options["replace"] = self.org_config.username

(Not applicable to your use case, but I want to note that some find/replace transforms are available in the deploy task.

@prakash-concret @jstvz Yes this is the issue I am facing and even In 3.75.1 It's working fine.
But versions after that there it is not working as expected.

@sahilconcret This is working as designed. The FindReplace task uses the replace option as a literal replacement. Are you saying that your custom task previously worked as you describe? If so, what was the last version that did so?

from cumulusci.

@jstvz you are right, but overriding the option values using a custom Python class is not working.
For Example: Created a Python class to replace username names like this.

from cumulusci.tasks.util import FindReplace as FindReplace

class FindReplaceUsername(FindReplace):
    salesforce_task = True # Require a target org
    
    def _init_options(self, kwargs):
        # Run the _init_options logic from FindReplace
        super()._init_options(kwargs)
        # Set the replace option to the org's username
        self.options["replace"] = self.org_config.username

calling this custom task from cumulusci.yml

find_replace_username:
    description: Replaces a string with the target org's username
    class_path: tasks.util.FindReplaceUsername
    options:
            find: "%%%USERNAME%%%"
            replace: userName
            path: unpackaged/config/cmts/customMetadata

This custom implementation is not working in the new release, in the 3.74.0 version it's working fine.

@sahilconcret Please confirm this is an issue you are facing.

Thanks @jstvz @prakash-concret for your help.
In versions later that 3.75.1 we need to use self.parsedoptions instead of self.options.
That works perfectly.
