OS specific tasks in the same file

[hookenz]

It seems you need to import a full OS specific taskfile for one case even if it only contains one option.

Could it support something like this? chatgpt hallucinated and thought this was valid.
It didn't complain but then I noticed it running both.

  run:setup-backend:
    dir: backend
    cmds:
      - cmd: scripts\\setup_python.bat
        when: { os: windows }
      - cmd: ./scripts/setup_python.sh
        when: { os: linux }

I did find another workaround, but it is much more coding

  run:setup-backend:
    dir: backend
    deps: [run:setup-backend-linux, run:setup-backend-windows]

  run:setup-backend-linux:
    internal: true
    platforms: [linux]
    dir: backend
    cmds: 
      - ./scripts/setup_python.sh

  run:setup-backend-windows:
    internal: true
    platforms: [windows]
    dir: backend
    cmds: 
      - .\\scripts\\setup_python.bat

I would add multiple commands, each one for the specified platform. You don't need one task for each platform, necessarily.

Some examples are present here: https://taskfile.dev/docs/guide#platform-specific-tasks-and-commands
