Does precondition support go templates?

It seems that preconditions don't support the templates, or if they do, I'm unable to figure it out.

not sure why discord isn't showing my post text... I said "It seems that preconditions don't support the templates, or if they do, I'm unable to figure it out" I would expect this to work:

version: '3'

tasks:
  default:
    cmds:
      - echo "{{.CLI_ARGS}}"
    preconditions:
      - {{eq .CLI_ARGS "hi there"}}

version: '3'

tasks:
  default:
    cmds:
      - echo "{{.CLI_ARGS}}"
    preconditions:
      - {{eq .CLI_ARGS "hi there"}}

but I get the error:

❯ task
err:  cannot unmarshal !!map into string
file: /Users/.../Taskfile.yml:8:9
  6 |       - echo "{{.CLI_ARGS}}"
  7 |     preconditions:

❯ task

  7 |     preconditions:

Hi @snowe, This is an YAML parse error. You need to wrap your precondition into quotes.

I had tried that and it fails the same. wait. nope didn't change the right file 🤦🏽‍♂️ ok, that did work. thank you. had to use single quote.
