meson test sometimes skips test dependencies on CustomTargetIndex #14743
Description
Describe the bug
If a CustomTargetIndex is passed as an argument to a test, running meson test (with no test glob) does not automatically build the custom_target before running the test. This results in "file not found"/"no such file" errors during meson test.
To Reproduce
# meson.build
project('test')
python3 = find_program('python3')
gen_code = '''
import sys, pathlib
pathlib.Path(sys.argv[1]).write_text("foo")
pathlib.Path(sys.argv[2]).write_text("bar")'''
foobar_txt = custom_target(command: [python3, '-c', gen_code, '@OUTPUT@'], output: ['foo.txt', 'bar.txt'])
test_code = '''
import sys, pathlib
sys.exit(0 if pathlib.Path(sys.argv[1]).read_text() == sys.argv[2] else 4)'''
test('foo.txt', python3, args: ['-c', test_code, foobar_txt[0], 'foo'])
test('bar.txt', python3, args: ['-c', test_code, foobar_txt[1], 'bar'])$ meson setup builddir/
$ meson test -C builddir/ --print-errorlogs

Fail: 0Expected behavior
meson test should run the custom_target command to create {foo,bar}.txt before running the tests, regardless of whether a test glob was passed or not.
