Get CLI arguments for custom Mix task

I think you’re just looking for the args that the run/1 function receives

Given:

defmodule Mix.Tasks.Echo do
  use Mix.Task

  @impl Mix.Task
  def run(args) do
    IO.puts("running!")
    Mix.shell().info(Enum.join(args, " "))
    IO.inspect(args, label: "Received args")
  end
end

Running that gives you:

$ mix echo foo.bar 123
running!
foo.bar 123
Received args: ["foo.bar", "123"]

Although at least with the umbrella project setup I’m using it’s not picking up changes to the mix task without running mix.compile, but generally you should be good to go.

ah, thank you. I also came across OptionParser.parse to work with --flags
