Document +modifier syntax inbundle run --only help#5842
Merged
Conversation
`bundle run --only` accepts task keys to run a subset of a job's tasks. A task key may be prefixed with `+` (also run upstream tasks) or suffixed with `+` (also run downstream tasks); document that in the flag's help text. Co-authored-by: Isaac
Add a partial_run case asserting `--only +task_1,task_2+` forwards unchanged to the run-now `only` field, proving the CLI does not mangle or reject the upstream/downstream modifier syntax documented on the flag. Co-authored-by: Isaac

Changes
The
bundle run --onlycommand takes a comma-separated list of task keys to run a subset of a job's tasks. Its help text did not mention that a task key can be prefixed or suffixed with+to also pull in upstream/downstream tasks (the value is forwarded to the run-now only API field, which interprets the modifiers). This documents that syntax in the flag's help:+my_task: runmy_taskand everything upstream of itmy_task+: runmy_taskand everything downstream of it+my_task+: bothSupercedes #5760, addresses #4244
Why
Documentation was out of date so agents & users were not able to use the new functionality
Tests
Yes, new tests assert that the data is passed through unchanged
