$task variable doesn't exist in @finished section about envoy

FYI: see some follow up here: #181

$task variable is not defined in @finished scope, thats why you don't see task name.
Slack.php:74

$message = $this->message ?: ($this->task ? ucwords($this->getSystemUser()).' ran the ['.$this->task.'] task.' : ucwords($this->getSystemUser()).' ran a task.');

You can use @after section. Look this #167

@colorgreen But isn't it handy to also know which @story or @task you ran inside the @finished?
Because now I need to make all kinds of if statements to check which one was run to show the correct notification.

If the $task variable will also be available inside the @finsihed you don't need to think about it.

Hey @GertjanRoke. If you want task specific context for your slack messages you need to define the @slack annotation within the task itself at the end. There is no "task" context in the @finished part because that's only meant to run separately at the end outside any story or task context.

The reason for this mostly is that if you have a lot of running tasks, your slack channel would be spammed every time you ran your envoy script. By adding the slack annotation specifically to the tasks you want to get info about you can selectively know which ones were run.

I've sent in a PR to the docs clarify this: laravel/docs#5568
