west does not follow a moving tag

See original GitHub issue

As requested on Discord.

Our local build system generates and updates a git tag on some regularly cadence, for example a “nightly” tag that moves forward when the daily CI runs pass. Under previous versions of west (I believe 0.10.1 was what I was at), a west update would correctly follow the tag, and pull down the now latest version of that repository.

With west v 0.11.1 this pattern no longer works. It appears that west determines it already has the tag and therefore does not need to run git fetch on it.

This can be worked around by running west update -f always (which can be made default with a west config update.fetch always} but that appears to pull down a lot more detail than needed.

Example west.yml:

    - name: our_module
      remote: github
      repo-path: some/path/our_module
      revision: NIGHTLY

That is the correct xkcd I was thinking of. And spacebar heating is extremely underrated.

Thank you for the answers and closing the issue. I was going to close it as well given the direction of answers provided.

Adding the --narrow flag restores a behavior similar to pre-v0.11.1 update. Thanks for that suggestion as I wouldn’t have thought to use it.
