Proposal: Simple task dependencies #61

Open geoffjentry opened 7 years ago

geoffjentry commented 7 years ago

There was a discussion on the mailing list about adding simple task dependency logic (i.e. this task can't run until that task has completed). Making an issue here for further discussion.

I think the way TES developed since 2017, I tend to be strongly against this (but I can't access the discussion to see pro arguments). I think what looks like "simple" now can easily become complex (what if it depends on multiple tasks? what if depends on tasks on other TES instances? etc).

I vote for attaching a wontfix label and closing.
