allow failure option

Question

allow failure option

aminya opened this issue 4 years ago · comments

I have a command that I know it fails on a specific operating system, but I want to run it as a reminder to fix the issue. However, I don't want the step to fail the whole job. Is there a way to do that using retry?

You could set continue-on-error to true so that if the step fails it will still proceed to the next step. I added an example to this issue

@nick-invision Can we add the example to the documentation? This is a very useful feature!

I think there's a valid case now to support this in action. With the rollout of improved composite actions: https://github.blog/changelog/2021-08-25-github-actions-reduce-duplication-with-action-composition/ , there is no way to specify continue-on-error. Furthermore, composite actions don't support if: failure(), so it is not possible to have failure tracks in composite actions.
