Tasks not found when switching from `osx-arm64` to `osx-64` about pixi

[jjjermiah]

if i understand correctly, you are switching the value of the [platforms] field.

Instead, you should have all platforms listed that you expect the project to work on.

There was a short discussion on discord that also explains this a bit.

So, after you initialize your project successfully and the task you add works, try running:

pixi project platform add osx-64

instead of replacing the platform in the project.

your platform field should be

[tool.pixi.project]
channels = ["conda-forge"]
platforms = [ "osx-arm64", "osx-64"]

Then pixi should solve the environment for all platforms (even the platform thats not your computer)

• you might need to run pixi install for it to do the solving
• this should update the pixi.lock file and the environments will be solved for all platforms
• when the project is then transferred from your M3 Macbook (osx-arm64) to a Intel Macbook (osx-64), then pixi will recognize that the project is configured for that OS as well
