Hello. Just a stupid question: does a recipe with the attribute [unix] trigger in a machine running MacOS?

According to Wikipedia ― which, I daresay is a reliable source of information (yes, I'm looking at you, grade school teachers grrrr) ― and other reputable sources, MacOS is a unix OS. And as such, I believe that this should trigger the recipe with an attribute [unix].

Being the poor, Asian girl that I am, I do not have a MacOS to test this on, nor do I know how to read rust code. And so, here I am, asking.

In any case, if this is the case, I think that mentioning it in the documentation would be super helpful.

Thank you so much!

I just ran a test on a MacBook, and [unix] recipes indeed do run on MacOS (and Linux as well).

In the future, if you ever need to run something in MacOS as a quick hack or a quick check, GitHub Actions have MacOS runners. It's a pain, but it's not too unreasonable, given how hard it is to test or run things on MacOS without buying Apple hardware, which is prohibitively expensive for very many people.

I actually do use that to use that. I don't know why I didn't even tried it in the first place tho...

Oh, absolutely. Running any kind of virtual machine on my 11 year old puppy (thinkpad) is impossible too. :c

Anyways, thank you very much!!!
