Execute next step if step fails

Joris Van Acoleyen

I was wondering if it's possible to execute a step even if previous step failed.

I know there is something called after-script this can't be used it it needs to execute a defined step.

The purpose is because i need to start an instance run some things on it then shut it down but when it fails on the run part it will not shutdown the instance.

The code:

definitions:   steps:    - step: &Start_ec2        name: Start ec2 build server        image: amazon/aws-cli        script:          - aws ec2 start-instances --instance-ids id          - aws ec2 wait instance-running --instance-ids id
    - step: &Stop_ec2        name: Stop ec2 build server        image: amazon/aws-cli        script:          - aws ec2 stop-instances --instance-ids id          - aws ec2 wait instance-stopped --instance-ids id
    - step: &build       name: Build       script:          - pipe: atlassian/ssh-run:0.2.6            variables:              SSH_USER: $SSH_USER              SERVER: $SERVER              COMMAND: 'echo "hello"'
pipelines:  branches:    master:      - step: *Start_ec2      - step: *build      - step: *Stop_ec2

@Joris Van Acoleyen you can put steps in parallel, if it suits your case. Look at the advanced configuration section here https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/configure-bitbucket-pipelinesyml/

I have a similar issue where I am unable to use the parallel steps in my case. In simple scenario, I have something like this:

e2e: &e2e

   name: Run tests

   ...
- parallel:

     - step: 

            <<: *e2e

     - step: 

            <<: *e2e

- step:

   name: Zip files and generate reports

   ...

From the above, parallel step #1 might pass (successful) while parallel step #2 might have failures (failed) and I still want to continue to the next step (Zip files and generate reports) and display the pipeline results as still "Failed".

I've used the following but it shows successful all the time:

|| true

- set +e
after-script (not possible as I want to generate a consolidated report instead of multiple ones if this is placed on the parallel tests)

@Evan Rosalso in your case you could put tests results to different files in after scripts and then in the separate step you consolidate those results

Evan Rosal

That can be done but the problem still is that the separate step to consolidate wont be executed if either one of the parallel tests before that step fails.

What I need is for the whole build to continue until the last step even if one of the steps fail.

Using - set +e in my script will continue it up until the last step but it wont show failed on the previous step.
