Description

We have two modules A and B, where A depends on B. When running an incremental build, we observe that if the sources of A has not changed, but sources of B has been changed, module B gets recompiled as expected, but then module A is considered up-to-date and not recompiled. If there are any breaking changes in module B, we would expect A to fail compilation but it does not happen when running an incremental build. We only see A recompile after a clean.
