taskwarrior-bw-modify

This is a taskwarrior on-modify hook to be used to differentiate modifications coming from the CLI and from other processes.

Problem

I discovered that bugwarrior has a logseq plugin that will update TODO items from logseq -> taskwarrior. This is great, but the problem is if you try to close the task from the taskwarrior side, and do not update it on the logseq side, the task will just come back on the next bugwarrior pull.

This hook addresses the problem by differentiating when you call the taskwarrior script directly in your shell vs when something else calls it (in my case, bugwarrior via systemd)

If you try to close the task on the taskwarrior side, it'll execute taskopen for the task you are modifying so you may close it in logseq, which will then get updated on the next pull.

Requirements

• python
• taskwarrior
• taskopen
• logseq configured with the API access

Installation

Link this script in your taskwarrior hooks directory with something like ln -nsf /path/to/bugwarrior-check.py ~/.config/task/hooks/on-modify.bugwarrior
