`moon run` silently filters out `type: run` tasks in CI after v2.0.0

[moltar]

Bug Report

After upgrading from RC2 to v2.0.1, running moon run :install in CI produces:

CAUTION
No tasks found. Unable to execute action pipeline.
For targets :install.

The install task is defined as:

install:
  command: pnpm install
  toolchains:
    - node
  type: run
  args:
    - --frozen-lockfile
    - --prefer-offline

Root Cause

Commit b1a6939c2 ("fix: Audit 02/13 #2354") changed the CI check logic in two ways:

1. Flag inversion: ci_check changed from opt-in (--only-ci-tasks, default false) to opt-out (--ignore-ci-checks, default true), meaning CI checks are now always applied.

2. Removed reqs.ci guard: The old condition reqs.ci && reqs.ci_check && !task.should_run_in_ci() was changed to reqs.ci_check && !task.should_run(reqs.ci), removing the requirement that CI checks only apply when explicitly requested.

The old code had a comment explaining the intended behavior:

// Only apply checks when requested. This applies to `moon ci`,
// but not `moon run`, since the latter should be able to
// manually run local tasks in CI (deploys, etc).

Since should_run(in_ci=true) returns false for type: run tasks (only build and test are considered runnable in CI by default), all type: run tasks are now silently filtered out when using moon run in a CI environment.

Expected Behavior

moon run should be able to run any task type in CI, as was the case before v2.0.0. The CI filtering should only apply to moon ci.

Workaround

• Add --ignore-ci-checks flag: moon run --ignore-ci-checks :install
• Or set runInCI: always on the task

Environment

• moon v2.0.1
• Worked in RC2, broken since v2.0.0

Made some tweaks here: #2384

[milesj]

Ok try v2.0.3. It will most likely still require --ignore-ci-checks.

using the workaround in v2.0.3 does not seem to help

  staging-release:
    options:
      cache: false
      runInCI: false
    extends: sync

[milesj]

Remove the --, it's part of the run command.

Remove the --, it's part of the run command.

seems to fail without it?

[milesj]

You'll need to use moon exec then.
