Option to allow failures in Fan-In/Out Workflow

under review

Brandon Page

The requires tag in workflows really limits what is possible. Requires makes a lot of sense for the deployment scenario used to demo it, but waiting for a group of jobs to complete (pass or fail) should be an option.
Scenario: Setup -> Run multiple sets of tests in parallel -> Combine test results/coverage results/artifacts and report to PR
That scenario above isn’t possible because if a single test fails in any of the jobs running in parallel the the fan-in step won’t run.

My team is attempting to migrate to CircleCi. This is a need for us. We hope this functionality gets prioritized. Thanks.

Any updates on this? We desperately need this, because we have multiple workflows where we need to run jobs at the end of those workflows even if previous jobs had failed.

I need this feature as well, we are running multiple sets of tests in parallel and need to run clean up after all required job finishen. But if one test fails we can't automatically run clean up.

Do you have any updates on it?

Liya Ai any updates on this? Are you still working on this feature or ditched it?

Always run a job, even when dependent jobs failed

Make it possible to enable the flag. when:always
,  on a job in a workflow, just like with a run step in a job
Be able to run a job regardless of other job statuses.

Any updates on the implementation of this feature? CircleCI interface did a great job pushing us to use more machines via parallelism but the lack of fan-in on failures is leaving us with less functional than before.

Hi, this feature would be great. I guess we all have the same use case: combine test results no matter if any parallel job failed.

In my case, I would generate a stats report with the most common errors across all test results.

Hi Liya Ai, any update on this? It's been "Under Review" for 1 year now...

Because of this limitation, when we want to aggregate test results, we have to poll regularly from the reporter job. And of course, we spend time machine and money for nothing...

Liya Ai Hi, I know that this is in the works, however is there any timeline for this?
