Fields

Property Details
id *

String

A unique identifier for the step.

Can contain hyphens and underscores, but not spaces.
name *

String

A friendly name for the step. This name will appear in the pipeline designer and run output.
type *

String

The type of the step. Can be pipeline or a step module type.
depends[]

[String]

A list of dependencies of this step.

This step will not be executed until all steps with ids in this list are finished executing.
tags[]

[String]

Tags are used to group related steps. Steps with the same tag can be retrieved using the findStepsByTag() helper function.

Can contain hyphens and underscores, but not spaces.
condition

Boolean

An expression which is evaluated before the step executes. If it evaluates to false, the step will be skipped. The step.result.status field will be "Skipped".
each

Array

An expression which evaluates to an array. It is evaluated once before the first iteration. There will be one iteration for each element of the array. An empty array ([]) will results in no iterations being executed.
while

String

A boolean expression evaluated before each iteration. When the expression evaluates to false, iteration stops. If false before the first iteration, no iterations will be executed.
until

String

A boolean expression evaluated after each iteration. When the expression evaluates to true, iteration stops. The first iteration will always be excuted with no regard for the value of the expression.
verbosity

String

Step event verbosity. Determines how much information about step execution is sent back to the application.
ignore_errors

Boolean

If true, errors in the step module will not halt pipeline execution, and subsequent steps will still be executed. The step.result.status field will be "Failed" if the step encounters an error.
