manual step in pipeline

[John Test]

hey everyone,

I have been looking at a few different CI tools.
My pipeline contains a couple of manual steps and this is just part of the pipeline (as per security requirement) and there is no way around it.

Tools I tested.

Jenkins: Can do it. Works fine.
Gitlab-CI: Cannot do it. Just a repo-based yaml file. Didn't see a way to introduce manual step.
Concourse-CI: ????

I was hoping someone can give me an answer before I spent a lot of time and found that it doesn't.

Thank you
John

You can create jobs that don't have triggers and manually run them from the UI (the + on the job's page), or fly trigger-job, or via the API.

Thanks Nic. What about a single pipeline with a manual condition stage someone can click (such as pass/fail)? Is this possible?

If I understand correctly you're saying a job that requires a manual step should just be a manually triggered job in itself.
So within one pipeline we have multiple jobs some of which are manually triggered?

[Dr Nic Williams]

Correct. It's the concept of a job that can be manually triggered, and a job includes steps that are run (build plan).

Hello Nick,

I've got a question in similar,

In my pipeline i have 4 jobs,

When the first job(of the pipeline) finishes, i would like it to start the second job only if one condition is satisfied, the condition is external so should be entered manually by the user like an input parameter.

So on the ui the user should have something like a question where he need to respond on the graphical build steps.

Can we achieve something like that with concourse-ci ?

Also another thing is that i want to run a build and during the process ask the user to select the branch he wan't to be build from. So also manual intervention and UI present the list of git branches. Is this possible ?

Thanks
