Pipeline execution modes ​

The step execution mode defines the pipeline or step behavior on failure.

There is actually 3 step execution modes:

• StopOnFailure (default)
• JumpNextOnFailure
• ContinueOnFailure

Stop on failure (default) ​

If a command of the step fails. The whole step fails and stop the pipeline execution.

const defaultMode: Step = {
  name: "stop the pipeline and run on_failure hooks on pipeline failure",
  options: {
    mode: "stop",
  },
};

const defaultMode: Step = {
  name: "stop the pipeline and run on_failure hooks on pipeline failure",
  options: {
    mode: "stop",
  },
};

Jump next on failure ​

This mode doesn't stop the execution flow and allows the next step to run.

If a command of the step fails. The step execution stops without interupting the pipeline execution. Then the following step is executed (the execution jumps to the next step).

const nonBlocking: Step = {
  name: "jump to next step on failure",
  options: {
    mode: "jump_next",
  },
};

const nonBlocking: Step = {
  name: "jump to next step on failure",
  options: {
    mode: "jump_next",
  },
};

Continue on failure ​

This mode doesn't stop the execution flow and allows the next step to run.

If a command of the step fails. The next command is still executed, and so on until the last command of the step. Then the following step is executed.

const forced: Step = {
  name: "execute next command on failure",
  options: {
    mode: "continue",
  },
};

const forced: Step = {
  name: "execute next command on failure",
  options: {
    mode: "continue",
  },
};
