Concourse: Option to run all taks regardless of failure state

Wanted to know if there is any flag/option for concourse tasks inside a single job so that all tasks gets executed regardless of any task failing.

Thanks!

Solution

  • Totally. By default, tasks run sequentially. If you want them to run independently of the sequence place them in the in_parallel key, like in the following pipeline:

    jobs:
  - name: parallel-tasks
    plan:
    - in_parallel:
      - task: failing-task
        config:
          platform: linux
          image_resource:
            type: docker-image
            source:
              repository: alpine
          run:
            path: /bin/sh
            args: [ "-c", "exit 1"]
      - task: passing-task
        config:
          platform: linux
          image_resource:
            type: docker-image
            source:
              repository: alpine
          run:
            path: /bin/sh
            args: [ "-c", "exit 0"]

    Running it will produce the following output: parallel tasks

    in_parallel works with tasks as well as resources (e.g. running get in parallel)
