Task Dependencies

Description

Task dependencies is the facility whereby a Task is declared to be dependant on the successful execution of a prior Task.

Implementation

The dependency is defined in the Task Definition of the Workflow configuration file with the dependsOn parameter.

Here is an example:

...
     {
         "title":  "Code TD Visa",
         "name":  "code-td-visa",
         "dependsOn":  "code-cibc-visa,code-bmo-trans",
         "type":  "java"
     },
...

In this example Task code-td-visa would only be allowed to run when both of code-cibc-visa and code-bmo-trans have succeeded and are not Stale (as explained in Step Conditions.)
