Description

My use case includes copying SCSS files through a libraries build.rs file into my application root directory.

Building the styles (SASS) will only work with the output from this build script.

But the asset pipeline always runs in parallel / can not be configured to run after a finished rust build. Errors in the SASS pipeline lead to a retry, also skipping/aborting the rust build, leading to no build.rs being executed an and endless retry-loop.

Could such an optional behavior be integrated into trunk?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate trunk's asset pipeline and its build ordering mechanism. Look for options to configure dependency between Rust compilation and asset processing, possibly adding a flag or configuration to delay the asset pipeline until after the Rust build completes.
