conan-io / cmake-conan

Currently, conan install is run with --build=missing, see

Line 520 in c53fbf5

    
           conan_install(${_host_profile_flags} ${_build_profile_flags} --build=missing ${generator})

Is there a possibility to set this to never via cmake preset entry? I want to disable building missing packages in the CI preset and enforce to use only existing compiled version of the package. If there is a missing package the job in the CI should fail instead of rebuilding the library on every run.

Hi @maximiliank

Thanks for your question.
Well, at the moment there is no user configuration for this argument, though we might be considering it.

Just in case, the conan_provider.cmake, at the end of the day is a file that goes in your repo, so it should be very easy to customize it and just remove the --build=missing in it, isn't it?

Hi @memsharded

you are absolutely right, the easiest is to adjust the script in the repo. Thank you for pointing this out.
