From discussion #7507, where answering a question
turned this up.

#11992 made prefer_windows_file_task_siblings recognise a .sh sibling as the POSIX half, not
only a file with no extension at all. It changed src/config/mod.rs and a Pester test — this page
still described the old rule, so build.sh + build.ps1, the shape people actually write, was
documented as the one that does not work.

  • The example uses build.sh. The extensionless form stays, as the other spelling of the same
    thing rather than the only one.
  • States the pairing rule the code applies: same directory, same stem. Two files matching by
    name alone from different directories are not a pair, and the page did not say so.
  • Adds the escape hatch for what the convention cannot express — unrelated file names, or wanting
    it explicit — which is a TOML task naming both scripts. Written as pwsh -File …, because
    windows_default_inline_shell_args defaults to cmd /c and cmd will not start a .ps1 on its
    own.

Docs only.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The documentation updates cross-platform file-task guidance. It explains same-stem POSIX and Windows scripts, explicit run and run_windows commands, PowerShell invocation, and handling of multiple Windows candidates.

Changes

Cross-platform file-task guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Script pairing and platform selection
docs/tasks/file-tasks.md
Documents .sh and extensionless POSIX script pairing with Windows scripts, platform-specific selection, explicit TOML commands, required pwsh -File usage, and ambiguous Windows candidates.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 15496

The documentation clarifies .sh/.ps1 sibling pairing but still omits the setting required to enable automatic pairing, which could lead users to expect the convention to work when it is disabled. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to document that prerequisite.

Poem

A rabbit pairs scripts in the sun,
POSIX and Windows now run as one.
pwsh -File guides the way,
Clear candidates choose the task each day.
TOML keeps commands bright—
Cross-platform tasks hop just right.

Greptile Summary

The PR updates file-task documentation to describe .sh/.ps1 platform pairs accurately.

  • Clarifies that paired scripts must share a directory and stem.
  • Documents extensionless POSIX scripts and explicit TOML run_windows configuration.
  • Corrects task names when multiple Windows-native siblings make selection ambiguous.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The documentation-only PR appears safe to merge.

No blocking failure remains.

Comment thread docs/tasks/file-tasks.md Resolved
jdx#11992 made `prefer_windows_file_task_siblings` recognise a `.sh` sibling as
the POSIX half, not only a file with no extension at all. It changed
`src/config/mod.rs` and a Pester test; this page still described the old rule,
so the shape people actually write was documented as the one that does not
work.

The example now uses `build.sh`, with the extensionless form kept as the other
spelling of the same thing rather than the only one. Also states the pairing
rule the mechanism actually applies -- same directory, same stem -- since two
files matching by name alone from different directories are not a pair.

Adds the escape hatch for the case the convention cannot express, from
discussion jdx#7507: a TOML task naming both scripts. Spelled `pwsh -File ...`
because `windows_default_inline_shell_args` defaults to `cmd /c` and cmd will
not start a `.ps1` on its own.
