I am having troubles understanding how to manage recurring tasks in taskwarrior
I start with an empty database:
$ task
[task next]
No matches.
I add a recurring daily task:
$ task add recur:daily due:later test
It shows up in the report:
$ task
[task next]
ID Age Recur Due Description Urg
2 - P1D 19.2y test 2.4
1 task
Creating recurring task instance 'test'
If I mark it done like this:
$ task 2 done
Completed task 2 'test'.
Completed 1 task.
$ task
[task next]
No matches.
it disappears from the report. I believe it makes sense, since "I completed the daily task today".
The problem is it never appears again the next day and further. What am I doing wrong?

Why are you marking it done? If it is a repeating task it is never done ...

@DavidPostill I did it before resorting to ask on SE, it doesn't answer my question at all. It contains details about internal workings rather than a perspective for the end user that solves a practical problem (like mine). I fail to see where in that document is it explained how to manage recurring tasks properly

So ask the developers. As there are no other taskwarrior questions on Super User you probably won't get an answer here.
