immediately fail whole matrix job if one configuration fails

[Simon Haegler]

hi group

is there a way to immediately fail a matrix job as soon as one of its configuration fails?

my motivation is to free up slave resources as early as possible...

TIA,

The usual way is to define one or more "touchstone configurations" that
are built first, and starting the remaining jobs only if these succeeded.

thanks for your answer. my first attempt to configure touchstone configurations failed, i.e. it correctly prints "touchstone configs resulted in failure..." at the end but it still ran all configurations?!

19:27:11 Touchstone configurations resulted in FAILURE, so aborting...

do i need to chain two matrix jobs together? this would kind of defeat the "touchstone" option...

Then the specificiation is probably broken. This is an expression, for
example for one job that has an axis "cpu" with the values "x86" and
"x64", I use

cpu=="x86"

Apparently, your configuration selects all configurations as touchstone.

hi,

you nailed it - my filter was wrong.

thanks & best,
