How do I delete hidden files with a Pixi task

[mahesh-panchal]

I'm having issues writing some basic clean up tasks.

The tool I use creates a hidden folder .nextflow and some log files .nextflow.log, .nextflow.log.1, etc. I wrote a pixi task to try and clean it up.

[tasks]
clean-nf = "rm -rf .nextflow* work/"

However running this task pixi run clean-nf, results in Pixi (Deno?) complaining that the glob doesn't match files although they are there. Running the command rm -rf .nextflow* work/ in pixi shell though works fine.

$ pixi run clean-nf
✨ Pixi task (clean-nf): rm -rf .nextflow* work/
glob: no matches found '/workspace/Nextflow_sandbox/.nextflow*'

Did I miss some message about special characters in tasks or something? How can I get this to work?

The issue seems to be the. in front of nextflow. We'll have to look into why that doesn't work with the glob.

I think I found the culprit: https://github.com/denoland/deno_task_shell/blob/9e884664e289bf74b50a8bdfa7930378fec91201/src/shell/execute.rs#L830

Sorry, I only just saw the edit. Has a fix been implemented?
