Can't use os.path.isdir in case

[mgzenitech]

[tool.poe.tasks.post_install]
control.script = "os.path:isdir('.venv/node')"

[[tool.poe.tasks.post_install.switch]]
case = "False"
sequence = [
  ...
]

[tool.poe.poetry_hooks]
post_install = "post_install"

Is always getting me:
Error: Control value '' did not match any cases in switch task 'post_install'.
Cancelling command due to failed hook task

Any ideas on how to check for existing directory with script?

Hi @mgzenitech,

You can make your example work by configuring the control script task to print the result. The problem is that cases are compared to the output of the script task, and although the isdir function returns a boolean value is doesn't output (i.e. print) anything.

[tool.poe.tasks.post_install]
control.script       = "os.path:isdir('.venv/node')"
control.print_result = true

...

However I would usually recommend using an expr task in a situation like this:

[tool.poe.tasks.post_install]
control.expr    = "os.path.isdir('.venv/node')"
control.imports = ["os"]

...

superb! thank you very, much. I didn't know that we can use imports next to control :)
