How do I set the default Elixir mix task

Question

If I have a mix.exs file something like:

defmodule Mix.Tasks.My_task do
  use Mix.Task

  @shortdoc \"Perform my task\"

  def run(_) do
    IO.         


        

Answer 1

It looks like you can define inside the project block (mix.exs) using default_task:

def project do
  [default_task: "run"]
end
