[Feature] topological from root

[xenoterracide]

so my problem is that I have multiple applications in my workspaces, I don't necessarily want to build all of them and their full deps all the time. I tried yarn workspaces foreach --topological --include myworkspace run build but that only built myworkspace what I need is to be able to build myworkspace and all of its dependencies in topological order.

You're most likely after #1986, which you can install using

yarn plugin import from sources workspace-tools

[xenoterracide]

these do nothing

> yarn workspaces foreach --parallel --verbose --recursive --include @bb/service-graph run build 

yarn workspaces foreach --parallel --topological --verbose --recursive --include @bb/service-graph run build

[merceyz]

--include is applied after the --recursive flag (implementation wise) so you're running include on the current workspace only, cd into the workspace and run it from there

yarn packages/service-graph/ workspaces foreach --parallel --topological --verbose --recursive run build

[xenoterracide]

yeah, that works, a bit non obvious though, documentation examples should probably be added.

PRs are welcome :)

I have a similar issue.

I'm looking to transition away from using lerna, but I'm currently relying on the --include-dependencies flag.

Include all transitive dependencies when running a command regardless of --scope, --ignore, or --since.

I can currently emulate this somewhat using the yarn workspace project-web to scope the command:

yarn workspace project-web workspaces foreach --recursive --verbose --topological-dev run build

This does not work in the cases where I use wildcard/glob to target multiple projects and all their common dependencies.
Using yarn workspaces foreach --include project-* to run a recursive build in the projects will result in common dependencies being built multiple times, once per project, which is exactly what I want to avoid.

yarn workspaces foreach --include project-* workspaces foreach --recursive --verbose --topological-dev run build

to run a recursive build in the projects will result in common dependencies being built multiple times, once per project

That seems like a bug, can you open a new issue about that? I'll close this one since --recursive is the solution to the original problem.
