depends <task> [, <task> ... ]

depends <task> [, <task> ... ]
Description

Specifies that the task cannot start before the task with the specified IDs have been finished. If multiple IDs are specified, they must be separated by commas. IDs must be either global or relative. A relative ID starts with a number of '!'. Each '!' moves the scope to the parent task. Global IDs do not contain '!', but have IDs separated by dots.

Each task ID can have optional attributes enclosed in braces.

By using the 'depends' attribute, the scheduling policy is automatically set to asap. If both depends and precedes are used, the last policy counts.
