Add a global parameter to skip running dependencies
pellared opened this issue · comments
Why
Skipping tasks can greatly improve your troubleshooting experience. Irrelevant targets won't waste execution time.
What
Add a global parameter -no-deps that enables disabling dependencies execution. The tasks would be executed in order as they are passed for execution.
This would almost "disable" the possibility to run "workflows" (a task that is supposed just to run a set of tasks).
We would need to create another mechanism to define workflows and make it possible to run them without dependencies.
It may be too complex.
