Goals

1. Add new disable: true flag to specific task, like so

{
  "extends": ["//"],
  "tasks": {
    "dev": {
      "disable": true
    }
  }
}

2. When task is marked with disabled flag, it will not run when calling pnpm turbo dev from workspace root

Background

I have a apps/web and packages/some-package in monorepo.

• apps/web has a dev task that will run development server.
• packages/some-package has a dev task that runs build process with --watch flag. It is convinient for development purposes so you see the output right away. To run this task I use --filter.

The idea is that when I run pnpm turbo dev from workspace root, the dev task inside packages/some-package should not run.

Notes

• I know that I can rename the task in packages/some-package
• I know that I can filter the packages when running pnpm turbo dev from workspace root

Proposal

disable option that can be available in Package Configurations

{
  "extends": ["//"],
  "tasks": {
    "dev": {
      "disable": true
    }
  }
}
