"error: Variable project_name has multiple definitions" when importing justfiles

[sylvorg]

Hello!

I am getting the error in the title when trying to import a justfile with the same variable as in the parent file; is there any setting, perhaps similar to allow-duplicate-recipes, that works for variables as well, such as allow-duplicate-variables, maybe?

Thank you kindly for the help!

I'm not sure I understand, can you copy and paste your justfiles so I can take a look?

Not at my computer right now, but, it's something like this:

p/a/justfile:

x := `basename {{justfile_directory()}}`

Where x results in a, and:

p/b/justfile:

import "../a/justfile"
x := `basename {{justfile_directory()}}`

Where x is supposed to result in b, but just errors out with what's in the title of the issue.

Gotcha. I think that set allow-duplicate-variables would be reasonable to add, and not too much work.

I marked this as good first issue, in case anyone wants to take a crack at it.

Wish I could help, but I know nothing of rust, though I've been wanting to learn it for a while! 😅

Can this be closed as completed?

I have not tested the changes yet, as I'm working on something else at the moment, unfortunately! 😅 We could possibly reopen it if necessary?

set allow-duplicate-variables := true

I am just using it ^^ I landed here trying to find out why it didn't work before

Then we should be good to go, I think! My thanks to everyone involved here! 😸
