Running multiple tasks via args and parallelism

[davidolrik]

In the docs there is this example for running multiple tasks in one go:

mise run build arg1 arg2 ::: test arg3 arg4

But as mise will run 4 jobs at the same time, the above command will run both the build action and the test action at the same time, which is not what I expected.

Is this intended behaviour, or should ::: work as an implicit depends?

For build to complete before running test, I would have to add a depends = ["build"] to the test task, but if I've done that then build will always be run before test which might not always be what I want.

I run all of my task with the suggested alias mr='mise run --' which prevents me from adding a --jobs 1 to mise run.

Maybe add a second kind of separator like :::: that means "implicit depends" and keep ::: as parallel.

What do you think?

I would just do mise run build && mise run test or add wait_for = ["build"] to test
