While "re-run" a job, the job it depends should be started as well

[Po-Hsu Lin]

In checkbox-gui, it has a useful capability to allow tester to re-test a test case
But when you try to re-run a test case, the case it depends won't be triggered.

I think maybe a prompt message to tester about what test cases it depends could be an alternative solution

I think that if a dependency already ran and passed (because otherwise the test in question would be marked as skipped), we shouldn't run it again.

But anyway I will mark this as a wishlist item, it's a feature request.

Thanks for proposing this use case!

I'm marking this as WONT FIX but please reopen if this is actively
hampering anyone's work. My goal is to limit the number of open bugs to
get a better idea as to what is really important.

Remember that you can always escalate bugs by contacting us in #checkbox
on freenode (or #cert-infra in the internal IRC) or by responding in
bugs directly.
