`tags` Filter Doesn't Behave as Expected

[ReedClanton]

Describe the bug There are 2 tasks. Both have the tag zz. One also has another tag aa. When f is pressed and tags:zz is entered, the resulting screen only shows the task with one tag and not the task with two tags.

To Reproduce

• Create task with a tag, say zz.
• Create another task with the same tag.
• Add a second tag, say aa, to one of the tasks.
• Filter output by pressing f then entering tags:zz .
• See that only one task is listed.

Expected behavior My expected behavior would be for any task with the selected tag, say epic, to be displayed, even when the task contains other tags.

Test case Download and run this test case that replicates this bug. Once the test case is run, launch vit and do the following:

• Verify that there are two tasks, and that they both have the zz tag.
• Press f to enter the filter prompt.
• Enter the bellow, then press <enter>:
  • tags:zz
• Verify that only the task with one tag, zz, is listed.

VIT Version 2.2.0 installed via Home Manager with home.packages = [ pkgs.vit ]; on the system shown bellow:

After further testing, I've found that the behavior described above is dependent on what order the tags show up in the task. For example, the tag NixOS_Disko will show up before the tag epic, so filtering by epic won't work, but filtering by NixOS_Disko will. If you remove NixOS_Disko tag add add zzzzz as a tag, then now you will be able to filter by epic because zzzzz shows up after epic in the task text. zzzzz won't work for filtering.

To clarify, when I say a tag shows up before another, I'm referring how the task shows up when editing with the default text editor (via the e key). Specifically line 25 bellow:

In the above example, filtering with tags:epic would cause the task to show up, but it wouldn't show up when tags:zzzzz was used as the filter.

Test case Download and run this test case that replicates this bug. Once the test case is run, launch vit and do the following:

* Verify that there are two tasks, and that they both have the `zz` tag.

* Press `f` to enter the filter prompt.

* Enter the bellow, then press `<enter>`:

  * `tags:zz`

* Verify that only the task with one tag, `zz`, is listed.

Created a test case and added it to the issue. It's quoted above.

This is a bug or limitation with Taskwarrior:

task next tags:zz
TASKRC override: /tmp/tmp.OVSKlXl5LP.vit/taskrc

ID Age  Tag Description Urg
 2 7min zz  b            0.8

Please file the issue with that project.

It's also possible you're applying an incorrect filter for your goals, you'll have to research the Taskwarrior docs for that.
