I just quickly experimented, but whilst there doesn't seem to be a way to
access a task by its original name, you can invoke it directly with its module
name?
```
defp aliases do
[
# ... other aliases you might have
test: &reset_if_all_tests/1
]
end
defp reset_if_all_tests(args) do
case args do
[] -> # invoke your database reset
_ -> # anything else
end
Mix.Tasks.Test.run(args)
end
```
You could expand the logic of the function further to look for CI specific env
variables etc
