Description
- I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
- I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pytask.
- (optional) I have confirmed this bug exists on the
mainbranch of pytask.
Code Sample, a copy-pastable example
zipped dir: tasks.zip
# lib.py
def get_name():
return "jane"
# task_bug.py
from pathlib import Path
import pytask
from .lib import get_name
task_get_name = pytask.task(produces=Path("name.txt"))(get_name)
Problem description
It appears that inpytask.task(), the created task is stored in COLLECTED_TASKS,
but is stored under COLLECTED_TASKS["lib.py"] (the place where the function was defined), not under COLLECTED_TASKS["task_bug.py"] (where the task was created). Then, when we actually go looking through COLLECTED_TASKS for tasks to execute, we miss it because we only look under "task_bug.py"
Expected Output
I think the created task should be stored under COLLECTED_TASKS["task_bug.py"] where the task was created.

Research direction
Start with the pytask.task() decorator and trace how the function from lib.py is registered when called in task_bug.py. Inspect the COLLECTED_TASKS lookup path and the tasks.zip reproduction; done means the task is discovered under task_bug.py and executes with the expected output.
