sleep 20
"sleep": executable file not found in $PATH
task: Failed to run task "start": task: Failed to run task "starteb": exit status 127

example task

starteb:
        cmds:
          - echo ... starting EHRbase server ...
          - java -jar ../application/target/application-0.11.0.jar --cache.enabled=false > log &
          - sleep 20
          - echo ... EHRbase server started.

sleep is not supported by Window's cmd.exe

but works in PowerShell

task command was executed in "Windows Terminal (Preview)" which uses PowerShell under the hood - not cmd.exe

Hi @testautomation,

What happens is that the sleep builtin is not implemented on the shell interpreter Task uses, so it unfortunately won't work on Windows for now (which doesn't have a proper executable called sleep available).

I'm closing this as a duplicate of #197.
