• Task version: 3.3.0
• Operating System: Mac OS Big Sur Version 11.5.2 (20G95)

Example Taskfile showing the issue

  frontend:start:
    deps:
      - task: f:styles
      - task: f:start
  f:start:
    dir: frontend
    cmds:
      - react-scripts start
  f:styles:
    dir: frontend
    cmds:
      - tsm src -w

where tsm is typed-scss-modules (https://github.com/skovy/typed-scss-modules)

basically, there is no color where the logs would usually be colorful.

Hi @cameronbrill,

Unfortunately, there are some known limitations when using prefixed or grouped output modes.

One is that interactive application does not work correctly. That's why we recently introduced an option interactive: true to try to improve that: https://taskfile.dev/#/usage?id=interactive-cli-application

Other limitation is that colors may not work correctly.

This may be fixed in the future but there aren't plans to do that soon.

Any plans to revisit this? Why is this a limitation at all?
