Summary
In our project we have a several packages that are "buildless" and we enable "ignoreMissingScript" for build command through command-line.json (we don't use phased commands).
After upgrading to latest version of Rush, I discovered that incremental building stopped working in random scenarios.
Details
I've tracked down the issue to LegacySkipPlugin beforeExecuteOperations hook. Turns out that "for" loop inside that hook used "return" statements instead of "continue" to skip registering operations as incremental. I've replaced all of them and verified that fix is working.
How it was tested
Tested on repository with multiple "no-op" build packages.
