Add filename to play on success or failure

[alanvardy]

For people who want more than a terminal bell on success or failure we could get them to add a path to their config

play_path_on_success and play_path_on_failure. They will be nullable strings.

Thx! I will document example config for this.

And down the road probably add something to config settings options so newbies don't have to manually edit config

[alanvardy]

Yes, I agree.

Also - does "success" and "failure" equal "task completion"? I was looking for "task completion" and "task creation", not specifically general command/code success/failure (though error/failure is good for terminal bell).

This is basically to strictly replicate the dopamine fix when you check off the task in the official client 😬

[alanvardy]

If a task is completed or created that would be a success but yes, any successfully completed command is also a success and would trigger the bell.

Are you looking to play a sound file every time:

• You create a task
• You complete a task
• You complete each item in list process <- this too?

I'm sensitive to sounds and notifications, so this feature doesn't intuitively appeal to me, but I do like it getting a sound if something errors, and I need to look at it. Does the list above meet your needs? If yes, I can maybe do:

• play_path_on_success
• play_path_on_failure
• play_path_on_completion

and also add

• bell_on_completion

[stacksjb]

Yes, add/create task and complete task (doesn't matter where, if from list process or tod task next)

A thought I had today - maybe for future automation and compatibility, this might be made modular/flexible so instead of "Play sound" it could be "execute command"?

I'm thinking about possible smarthome integration or other possibilities down the road (such as webhook or executing another program)

Possibly too complicated and if so no worries, just thinking outside the box :)

[alanvardy]

Really good ideas. I can do the *_on_completion ones and will think about the execute command.
