Included Taskfile watch: true not working

[Firesphere]

I have a root Taskfile, that includes a Taskfile from a folder named watch For simplicity, my tasks:

Taskfile.yml

version: "3"
interval: 500ms
dotenv: ['.env.local', '.env.dev']
includes:
  watch:
    taskfile: ./watch
    aliases: [w]

watch/Taskfile.yml

version: "3"

tasks:
  build:*:
    watch: true
    sources:
      - '${PROJECTS}/*-bin/*.go'
    cmds:
      - echo "hello world"

This watcher works if I put it in the root of my Taskfile set. But the subfolder task does not watch, for reasons unclear to me, I couldn't find any documentation about it, and I would expect that the $(PROJECTS), which is a full absolute path in .env.local, should/would "just work" :tm:?

• Task version: 3.38.0
• Operating system: MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1
• Experiments enabled: No

I'm experiencing the same issue.

There are two files: Taskfile.yaml and watch/Taskfile.yaml. Including with this declaration:

includes:
  watch:
    dir: ./watch
    taskfile: ./watch/Taskfile.yaml

When I run task from watch/Taskfile.yaml directly watch is starting:

❯ task -t watch/Taskfile.yaml build
task: Started watching for tasks: build
task: [build] go build main.go
...

But when I run from the main Taskfile.yaml the watch step is skipped:

❯ task watch:build
task: [watch:build] go build main.go
...

However, I can force it with task -w watch:build that makes it to work well:

❯ task watch:build -w
task: Started watching for tasks: watch:build
task: [watch:build] go build main.go
...
