If you're in a task report, you can remove the "task" part of

listmethod=nested(task.predecessors).lists

so it reads 

listmethod=nested(predecessors).lists

 That sample is for an Assignment report

I use the following to display the predecessor and successor with the task number, name, primary assignee, and planned completion date.

 

displayname=Predecessor(s)
listdelimiter=<br>
listmethod=nested(task.predecessors).lists
textmode=true
type=iterate
valueexpression=CONCAT("(Task#: ",{predecessor}.{taskNumber},") - ",{predecessor}.{name}," - ",{predecessor}.{assignedTo}.{name}," - ",{predecessor}.{plannedCompletionDate})
valueformat=HTML
displayname=Successor(s)
listdelimiter=<br>
listmethod=nested(task.successors).lists
textmode=true
type=iterate
valueexpression=CONCAT("(Task#: ",{successor}.{taskNumber},") - ",{successor}.{name}," - ",{successor}.{assignedTo}.{name}," - ",{successor}.{plannedCompletionDate})
valueformat=HTML
