@asmartbear/jobs v1.0.17

Jobs

Simple job-runner with features:

• Max simultaneous threads, but also max-per-tag
• Tasks dependent on specific other tasks being complete
• Tasks dependent on all tagged tasks being complete
• Wait for a specific task to complete

Execution queue

• All else being equal, tasks are started in the order they were enqueued.
• Tasks will not start based on:
  • max running tasks per tag
  • dependency on specific other tasks
  • dependency on all tasks tagged by a given set of tags
• Tasks that have to wait maintain their position in the queue.
• Any error stops kicking off new tasks, allows existing tasks to complete, and the error is available.
