How to make the runner continue with the next srep, if one step inside parallel step fails?

Sena Turku Cakmak

Hello,

I have a pipeline and every step has a backup step that runs with another runner. If one step in parallel steps fails, I want the other step to still be able to continue without interruption and without the whole pipelie failing itself. For example:

Bild (2).png

In this image there are 2 runners for parallel steps, Main and Backup. If backup runner fails as seen in "Check commit message [Backup]" step, I want the main runner to continue with the "TPT test" step since main runner completed "Check commit message" step successfully.

So basically even if one of the parallel steps fail, if the other was successfull, I want the other step to still continue with the next step rather then stopping after parallel step is done. Is this possible, or is there a workaround?

Thanks for your time,

Sena

Hi @Sena Turku Cakmak

Thank you for reaching out to the community.

Could you share your Pipelines YAML file but masking any sensitive information?

is there any update?

Hi @Sena Turku Cakmak

Thanks for providing your YAML configuration.
I've tested the same on my end, unfortunately, there's no other way to resume builds when one of the parallel steps fails.

Right now, you can either merge those steps into one parallel step or explore the possibility of using after-scripts configuration which will allow you to run a step regardless if a step is successful or not.
