Support wildcards in task aliases #1900
Description
Including a Taskfile with wildcard tasks and aliasing it doesn't work.
Taskfile.yml:
version: '3'
includes:
included:
taskfile: Taskfile2.yml
aliases: [inc]
tasks:
foo-*:
cmds:
- "echo bar: {{index .MATCH 0}}"
aliases: [f]Taskfile2.yml
version: '3'
tasks:
bar-*:
cmds:
- "echo bar: {{index .MATCH 0}}"Output of task --list-all:
task: Available tasks for this project:
* foo-*: (aliases: f)
* included:bar-*: (aliases: inc:bar-*)
That's pretty misleading, though, because trying some of the implied commands results in:
# f is a wildcard task, so it should take parameters
$ task f-hello
task: Task "f-hello" does not exist
# okay, let's just do what it says in "(aliases: f)"
$ task f
template: :1:12: executing "" at <index .MATCH 0>: error calling index: index of untyped nil
# that was even worse; what about bar in our included Taskfile?
$ task inc:bar-hello
task: Task "inc:bar-hello" does not exist- Task version: 3.38.0

I'm working on a fix for this, but figured I'd add an issue in the meantime :)
