Possible to invoke a justfile as a shebang script via symbolic link ?

[simonmichael]

Thanks for just! I have notes/Justfile, with executable permission and a shebang line like

#!/usr/bin/env just -f

This works if I run it directly as notes/Justfile, but not if I symlink it to a more convenient name like note in PATH and then run note. In that case it ignores its own recipes and uses recipes from another justfile in a parent directory. I guess just's justfile finding logic is defeated by the unusual name.

Is there way to make this work currently, and does anyone have ideas for how it could be made more robust ?

This is one workaround:

#!/usr/bin/env JUST_JUSTFILE=/Users/simon/notes/Justfile just -f

[simonmichael]

Another:

#!/usr/bin/env just -f
set working-directory := '/Users/simon/notes'
...

Perhaps it is a bug though, that (without these workarounds) the file specified explicitly with -f is not used ?
