We’ve made an update to igniter in 0.4.x that changes slightly how you write tasks.

It is a very small update, but adds a convenience around dealing with options and arguments.

It’s “soft deprecated” for now, it won’t warn, but eventually it will. Essentially, instead of:

def igniter(igniter, argv) do
  {arguments, argv} = positional!(argv)
  options = options!(argv)
end

you can now do

def igniter(igniter) do
  # positional args are in 
  igniter.args.positional
  # options are in 
  igniter.args.options
  # argv without positional args (for composition) are in 
  igniter.args.argv_flags`
  # raw argue are in 
  igniter.args.argv

  ...
end

Additionally, mix igniter.upgrade in 0.3.x had some issues that may make it not work, so manual upgrade to 0.4.x will likely be required. More on that in the readme.
