Code Sample, a copy-pastable example

import pytask

@pytask.mark.skip
@pytask.mark.depends_on("missing.txt")
@pytask.mark.produces("product.txt")
def task_that_should_be_skipped(depends_on, produces):
    pass

Problem description

Often the reason we want to skip a task is because we are currently not producing the necessary input and don't want pytask to raise an error. Therefore, when a task is marked to be skipped it shouldn't matter whether its dependencies are in the DAG or not.

Expected Output

The task should run through without an error.
