Overview

Conditional workflow in Pipelines enables you to choose if a step executes or skips based on certain conditions set for the previous upstream step. This means, when the workflow reaches a conditional step, it can choose different workflow paths based on the step’s status. This provides more flexibility in the execution logic of a pipeline.

Page Contents


Step Status Conditional Workflow

With thestatusconditional workflow, you can configure a step to execute only if an input step’s status, during its current run, is satisfied. You can configure any number of statuses for a step.

YAML Schema
steps: - name:  type:  configuration: allowFailure: boolean #optional inputSteps: - name:  status: -  -  - 

It is important to note that only the status of an input step in the current run is considered for conditional workflows. If a step is not part of the current run, it is always assumed that the condition for that input step is met.


Run Variable Conditional Workflow

Create a condition based on the values ofadd_run_variablesenvironment variable, so that a step can be skipped based on dynamically set variables before it gets assigned to a node.

When using acondition, boolean values must be enclosed in quotes.
Examples:

  • condition: 'trigger == "true"'
  • condition: "trigger == 'true'"
  • condition: trigger == 'true'
  • condition: trigger == "true"
YAML Schema
steps: - name:  type:  execution: onExecute: - add_run_variables 'key=value' - name:  type:  configuration: condition: 'key == value' // Any logical boolean expression that results in a boolean inputSteps: - name: 

Example

pipelines: - name: Example steps: - name: step1 type: Bash execution: onExecute: - echo 'step1' - add_run_variables 'var1=1' - name: step2 type: Bash configuration: condition: 'var1 == 1' // Any logical boolean expression that results to a boolean inputSteps: - name: step1 execution: onExecute: - echo 'success'

In this example, when step2 is triggered during a run, it will check for theconditionand wait until those are satisfied. If theconditionis not satisfied, it will skip with a message. Note that step2 can also timeout while waiting for the execute conditions to be satisfied.


Adding Conditional Workflow for Steps

To add a conditional workflow for a step:

  1. In theinputStepssection of a step, add thestatusproperty.
  2. Add any of these values:
    • success
    • failure
    • error
    • cancelled
    • skipped
    • unstable
    • timeout

    Ensure that the values are in lowercase and use the same spelling as shown above. Any deviation from this will cause the pipeline source sync to fail.

    Example: In this example:

    • step_B has only one status:success
    • step_c has multiple statuses:failure,skipped,cancelled
    - name: step_A type: Bash configuration: allowFailure: boolean #optional inputSteps: - name: step_B status: - success - name: step_C status: - failure - skipped - cancelled
  3. Optional:If you do not want a particular step to contribute to the final status of the run, you can addallowFailure:真to theconfigurationsection of that step. When this option is used, even when a step fails or is skipped, the final status of the run is not affected.

    For example, a pipeline contains two steps S1 and S2:

    • Scenario 1: Step S2 is a cleanup step and its status is irrelevant. The overall run status should be determined by S1’s status and S2’s status should be ignored. In this case, addallowFailure:真to S2, since this is purely a cleanup step and only S1’s status should be taken into consideration.

    • Scenario 2: Step S1 has been configured to fail as part of the workflow. However S2 runs even if S1 fails and the run is not to be considered a failure. The run’s final status should mirror S2’s status since S1’s status does not interrupt the flow. In this case, addallowFailure:真to S1 since S1’s failure is a known possibility and expected, and that should not affect the final status of the run.

For more examples, seeallowFailure Examples.


Viewing Run Logs

When you run a pipeline, in addition to the other logs, the logs for steps with conditional workflow provide information about the skipped steps.

To view these logs, go to thePipeline Run Logsview, click the skipped step to display the logs for the current run.


Examples

Example 1

In this example:

  • Step B is triggered only if step A succeeds (default behavior), and step C is triggered only if step A is in failed, error, or timeout status.
  • Step B does not need any special configuration as the default behavior is to trigger a dependent step if the previous step succeeds.
  • Step A also does not need any special configuration since the step itself does not decide the downstream workflow path.

YAML
——名称:demo_conditional步骤:名称:step_A type: Bash configuration: inputResources: - name: script_conditional execution: onExecute: - echo "Executing step_A" - printenv - name: step_B type: Bash configuration: inputSteps: - name: step_A execution: onExecute: - echo "Executing step_B" - printenv - name: step_C type: Bash configuration: inputSteps: - name: step_A status: - failure - error - timeout execution: onExecute: - echo "Executing step_C" - printenv


Example 2

In this example,Step S is triggered if Step Q succeeds and Step R fails. However, if both Step Q and Step R succeed or fail during the run, Step S is not triggered and it is skipped.

YAML
- name: step_S type: Bash configuration: inputSteps: - name: step_Q status: - success - name: step_R status: - failure execution: onExecute: - echo "Executing step_S" - printenv

Example 3

In this example,Step O is triggered if Step M succeeds and Step N fails. However, since Step N is not part of the current run, Step O is triggered when Step M succeeds and Step N's status is ignored.

YAML
- name: step_O type: Bash configuration: inputSteps: - name: step_M status: - success - name: step_N status: - failure execution: onExecute: - echo "Executing step_O" - printenv

例4 -使用环境Variable

Thestep__statusName, which is an environment variable that is automatically made available at runtime, can be used in conjunction with conditional workflows. Thisstep__statusNameenvironment variable is useful for fetching the status of any input step, especially when working with Jenkins.

YAML
resources: - name: script_gh type: GitRepo configuration: path: jfrog/sample-script gitProvider: myGithub branches: include: ^{{gitBranch}}$ pipelines: - name: simple_jenkins_demo steps: - name: jenkins type: Jenkins configuration: inputResources: - name: script_gh jenkinsJobName: testPipeline integrations: - name: myJenkins - name: step_A type: Bash configuration: inputSteps: - name: jenkins status: - failure - error - timeout execution: onExecute: - echo "Executing step_A" - if [ $step_jenkins_statusName == "failure" ]; then echo "Do something"; fi - if [ $step_jenkins_statusName == "error" ]; then echo "Do something else"; fi - name: simple_conditional_B type: Bash configuration: inputSteps: - name: jenkins status: - failure - error execution: onExecute: - echo "Executing simple_conditional_B" - printenv

allowFailure Examples

Example 1

Step1 is configured for success and step2 for failure. Step2 is allowed to run when step1 fails and the final status of the run is success.

pipelines: - name: PIPE_9455_Workflow_03 steps: - name: step1 type: Bash execution: onExecute: - echo 'step1' - name: step2 type: Bash configuration: allowFailure: true inputSteps: - name: step1 status: - success - error - failure - timeout execution: onExecute: - echo 'success' - exit 1

Example 2

Step1 is configured for failure and step2 for success. Step2 is allowed to run when step1 fails and the final status of the run is success.

pipelines: - name: PIPE_9455_Workflow_05 steps: - name: step1 type: Bash configuration: allowFailure: true execution: onExecute: - echo 'step1' - exit 1 - name: step2 type: Bash configuration: inputSteps: - name: step1 status: - success - error - failure - timeout execution: onExecute: - echo 'success'

Example 3

Step1 is configured for success and step2 for failure. When triggered, the final status of the run is failure.

pipelines: - name: PIPE_9455_Workflow_03 steps: - name: step1 type: Bash configuration: allowFailure: true execution: onExecute: - echo 'step1' - name: step2 type: Bash configuration: inputSteps: - name: step1 status: - success - error - failure - timeout execution: onExecute: - echo 'failure' - exit 1
