encounter a issue that task caching not working anymore.

I have a simple task running just

echo 1

echo 1

with

sources

sources

and

generates

generates

. and it's hash in

.task/checksum/

.task/checksum/

doesn't change.

But it never consider

up to date

up to date

and command always run.

I have same version task on debian and it's ok, but not working as expected on windows

Is this maybe a bug?

Hi @trim21,

Can you provide an example Taskfile that reproduces the issue?

trim21OP•5/28/24, 8:24 PM

OK， I find reason. I have a glob defined in

generated

generated

doesn't match any files.

trim21OP•5/28/24, 8:24 PM

so it always consider out of date

trim21OP•5/28/24, 8:24 PM

but the file it generated is platform-specific, any way I can workaround this?

of is this expected behavior or it's a bug?

andreynering•5/28/24, 8:35 PM

That's a by design behavior. If any of the entries do not have any files, Task will run. The idea is that if the generated file was deleted, it should be re-generated.

trim21OP•5/28/24, 8:35 PM

make sense

trim21OP•5/28/24, 8:36 PM

anyway I can workaround this? looks like I'll have to write 2 internal task for this?

andreynering•5/28/24, 8:37 PM

Yeah, having separed tasks for Windows and others is probably the most obvious solution. You can use for that: https://taskfile.dev/usage/#platform-specific-tasks-and-commands

thanks

trim21OP•5/28/24, 8:38 PM

not an ideal solution althrough

trim21OP•5/28/24, 8:41 PM

just read the source and find that I can use in this case
