Describe the bug

It seems that --skip works with forge build to skip compilation, but it does not work with forge script.

> forge build --skip "*"
[⠊] Compiling...
No files changed, compilation skipped

> forge script scripts/foundry/Deploy.s.sol:Deploy --skip "*"
[⠆] Compiling...
[⠊] Compiling 282 files with 0.8.24
...

I tried multiple combinations (e.g. --skip "*", --skip "*.sol", --skip "src" --skip "scripts").

I have a Docker container in which I run multiple forge scripts. What I want to achieve is: Run forge build when building the container, then run the script (without building again) when I run the container.

Running forge build without --skip flag will compile all contracts in project, and then forge script will just read cached script artifact, solving your usecase.

--skip flag on forge script doesn't really work, but currently forge script on its own is already smart enough to detect and compile only targeted script contract

Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately that's not my experience, currently forge script seems to always recompile all my contracts, do you know what might be the reason?

Here's the output when I run these commands on the host machine (not in Docker):

> forge --version

Possibly the same issue as #7379.

Turns out it was a configuration issue, didn't realize I had force = true in foundry.toml.
