devspace build missing "--dependency" flag

[shaunc]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I am having trouble requiring devspace to rebuild a particular dependency.

Which solution do you suggest?

Add --depedency flag to devspace build.

Which alternative solutions exist?

Good question. As far as I can tell, --force-build also isn't working for dependencies.
The only option so far is that I go to a copy of the dependency's repo and rebuild there -- which means I have to manually make sure the config is appropriate.

@shaunc thanks for opening this issue! Seems like there are two things here:

1. --force-build when used with devspace dev and devspace deploy should actually also force rebuilding the dependency images. Is that not working for you? I just tested it and it works for me, it is rebuilding the images if the flag is provided
2. yes a --dependency flag for devspace build is a good idea, we can do that!

Force build is not working in a complex situation for me, but I don't have a reproduction. Perhaps treat this as a report for #2 -- will open a new ticket with a reproduction for #1 if it persists.
