Force execution of stack when specified in before/after

[smutel]

Hello,

I have two stack stackA and stackB. The stackB is setup to be executed after the stackA.
Terramate is executed with the option --changed so only the changed stack are applied.
I would like to force the apply on the stackB even if nothing has been changed.
How to achieve this ?

Currently:

• I change the stackA
• stackB is not applied even with the before parameter because there is no change in this stack
• stackA is applied

Forced execution with wants and wanted_by is what you are looking for.

Having said that, if you always have to enforce the execution of a specific stack when another executes, you might want to combine both in the first place?

If you tell me more about your use-case and current stack design, I can surely give you some advice :)
