as theres no out of the box solution from atlassian, what i did was something like:

- step:
     script:
       - | 
         if something exists; then
           echo true > condition.txt
         fi
     artifacts:
       - condition.txt

- step:
    script:
      - |
        if $(cat condition.txt); then
          exit 0
        fi
      - do stuff

i know this is bullshit as it still has to go through `build setup` on each step which check for this condition, which takes time... but its still better than nothing

I am also facing the same issue. I have raised a suggestion.

Hello,

Right now there isn't an option in the YAML to skip steps.

You could try marking the step as 'manual' if it's always going to be the last step, and just require it to be manually triggered.

Or you'll need to add your conditions to the start of the step. You can then just use 'exit 0' to finish the step early with a "successful" status and continue on with the pipeline.

You can also open a feature request for this here: https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa

Thanks,

Phil
