a timestamp is created before the task is completed

Example

version: '3'

tasks:
  build:
    cmds:
      - sleep 5 && cat 1.txt > 2.txt
    sources:
      - 1.txt
    generates:
      - 2.txt
    method: timestamp
  lint:
    deps: [build]
    cmds:
      - cat 2.txt
  all:
    deps: [build, lint]

Result:

❯ task all
task: [build] sleep 5 && cat 1.txt > 2.txt
task: Task "build" is up to date
task: [lint] cat 2.txt
cat: 2.txt: No such file or directory
exit status 1

Expected:

❯ task all
task: [build] sleep 5 && cat 1.txt > 2.txt
task: [lint] cat 2.txt

Hi @sirenkovladd,

The problem with your Taskfile is that deps run in parallel, so it can happen that lint runs before build in your example.

Changing it to run sequentially would fix the problem:

tasks:
  all:
    - task: build
    - task: lint
