If you enable dependencies, then any dependent plugins will be run;
otherwise, they won't generally be run. [I say "Generally" because
another consideration is that Nessus will run any plugins in the
ACT_SETTINGS, ACT_INIT, and ACT_END categories.]


I did a test like that we I
set "<id>=yes" to all the plugins I wanted and "<id>=no" to all the
rest, but the resulting file in txt format showed:

SUMMARY

 - Number of hosts which were alive during the test : 0

...

What could be the cause of this? At least I expected the list of open
ports of the target.


Did you enable dependencies for this scan? And if not, did you enable
any port scanners?
