skip := scalaBinaryVersion.value == "2.13"

In Sbt 1.2.8, I use skip := true to skip a project, including dependency resolving, compiling, publishing. skip := true does not work in Sbt 1.3.0

@eed3si9n could we make this error into a non-fatal warning perhaps? Thanks!

[eed3si9n]

Doing so might make the error state more confusing as update would skip and compilation would now fail with something like symbol X was not found in com.example?

[armanbilge]

Thanks for the response!

Like the OP I'm looking for an easy way to skip all steps for the project. I agree if someone is just doing update / skip := true (and only that) then the error would could be more confusing. Is there another way to accomplish this?
