### Does `taskwarrior-tui` show error messages when running shell commands or shortcuts
|
|
|
|
`taskwarrior-tui` shows an error prompt for shell if:
|
|
|
|
1. the subprocess fails
|
|
2. the subprocess succeeds but prints to stdout
|
|
3. the subprocess is empty
|
|
|
|
`taskwarrior-tui` shows an error prompt for shortcuts if:
|
|
|
|
1. the shortcut fails
|
|
|
|
If `taskwarrior-tui` encounters a prompt by the subprocess or the shortcut, `taskwarrior-tui` will not prompt the user for input again.
|
|
This means, if you want to run a `taskwarrior` command as a shell command, you may want to pass `rc.confirmation=off` in the command.
|
|
See the following screencast as an example:

|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task rc.confirmation=off context define test project:work
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you don't add `rc.confirmation=off` in the shell command, `taskwarrior-tui` will command the command but it'll fail because it won't receive any prompt.
