Don’t trigger job if another job marked with allow_failure: true fail
Some time, it’s necessary to mark a job as allow_failure: true
to not block some merge request in case of issue on dependency.
In this case, I don’t want subsequent job with needs dependency over the failing one to be run.
But if the first job fail, because of allow_failure, dependent one will be triggered and will fail too.
Example :
job-a:
stage: build
allow_failure: true
needs: []
script:
- exit 1
artifacts:
paths:
- test
job-b:
stage: test
needs:
- job: job-a
artifacts: true
script:
- ...
I tried when:on_success over job-b but looks like allow_failure by_pass on_success clause
There is a way to do it ?
I can mark the second one with allow_failure too, but it’ll consume compute and I want to avoid it
Thanks for taking time to answer
