[GitHub] [buildstream] gtristan commented on pull request #1719: WIP: Allow artifact names in bst shell

   I've added some more testing to this branch (locally), as I was trying to see what happens when you try `bst shell <artifact-name>`, instead of using a build tree.
   
   But I encountered:
   ```
   Error launching shell: Error: '--deps run' is not supported for artifact names
   ```
   
   This is correct because we don't encode runtime dependencies into artifacts (which necessary by design), so I conclude that we cannot support shelling into artifact names except for when running build shells.
   
   I will add a more convenient user facing error in the case the user has attempted to launch a shell on an artifact name without specifying `--build` and `--use-buildtree`.
