Run custom query in target deps moon.yml

[harrytran998]

I have a repo that includes BE, FE, packages, and Infra in one place.
I have a command in package.json file to run build all packages:
json "build.packages": "moon run :build --query \"projectType=[library,tool]\"",
I have a prepared script to run in the BE project + need to run in time development or the CI pipeline/
The problem is that the script depends on some commands in the current projects, also needs to build the packages like above.

So I searched for a way to add the deps field in moon.yml, like the example below, but it doesn't work!.

generate:
    description: "Generate typing client and GraphQL types"
    deps:
     - ":build --query "projectType=[library,tool]"
      - "db.generate"
      - "graphql.generate"

When I change to "~:build" or ":build", it works, but it's not what I want, because we have a lot of apps. Not need to build all for this.

generate:
    description: "Generate typing client and GraphQL types"
    deps:
     - ":build" # Or "~:buiild"
      - "db.generate"
      - "graphql.generate"

I checked the docs on the website, but it does not seem to have this one. So how can I do it @milesj

Defining a query for task dependencies is not supported. Queries right now are a command line only feature.
