Displaying the output of status

[dcopso]

Given the following Taskfile:

version: '3'

tasks:
  go:
    cmds:
      - mkdir directory
    status:
      - echo hello
      - test -d directory

These are the two output scenarios:

$ task go
task: [go] mkdir directory
$ task go
task: Task "go" is up to date

Notably, unlike other cmds specified in a task, the status commands are not printed to the screen. I find this surprising, because often the output is informative.

Is there a way to ask task to display the output of status-check commands?

Thanks!

There's no way to do that at present.

We can see in the source that each status command is run without access to stdout or stderr, resulting in no output.
