I'm using Laravel Valet for my Craft development environment (which is awesome, btw) except for an issue with Tasks not kicking off. I initially stumbled upon the problem while using the Import plugin. The task created by the plugin would never start. Instead, it would sit in a "Pending" state.
I figured this was a bug with the plugin, because other tasks seemed to start and run just fine. I then also discovered another task-related problem with P&T's example task plugin, "Power Nap", where running the task would cause the whole site to hang.
What gives?
Both of these issues aren't present when running the site with MAMP. I've narrowed it down to something to do with Valet (which is using Caddy to serve PHP sites).
