Conditional task not working with CrewAI Flows even if the condition function simply returns False

I’m trying to use a conditional task with CrewAI (v0.102.0) Flows.

Even if I set the condition parameter to False, as follows, the task is still executed.

Does anybody else have issues with conditional tasks being used with Flows?

@task
def my_task(self) -> ConditionalTask:
    return ConditionalTask(
        condition=False,
        config=self.tasks_config["my_task"],
        llm=LLM(
            model="gpt-4o-mini",
        ),
        expected_output="Expected output should be a Pydantic model of MyOutput type with xxxxx, xxxxx, and xxxxx properties.",
        output_pydantic=MyOutput,
    )

@tonykipkemboi @matt Are there any known issues with the SDK?

UPDATE

I tested a simple Python script without Flows. I took an example from the docs as a base.

First of all, it gives me the following error, meaning that setting the condition parameter to False is not the right way, but I wasn’t getting this error at all with Flows.

TypeError: ‘bool’ object is not callable

After creating a simple condition function as follows, the task was correctly skipped.

def my_condition(output: TaskOutput) -> bool:
    return False

This makes me think that conditional tasks don’t even work with Flows?
