4. Process dependencies

This guide explains how to create dependencies between processes. This guide is the continuation of the previous section, if you have not yet completed it, start here.

Simple dependency

We will start with something very simple, we will create a second process PROCESS_TWO that will be executed only if the first process PROCESS_ONE finishes without errors.

We will do this by including the depends_process property in the process PROCESS_TWO:

"processes": [
{
"id": "PROCESS_ONE",
//...
},
{
"id": "PROCESS_TWO",
"name": "Proccess TWO",
"depends_process": { "$end": "PROCESS_ONE" },
"exec": {
"id": "shell_default",
"command": "echo Hello from PROCESS_TWO"
}
//...
},
]
tip

We can also concatenate checks of the states of the processes and any other available variable. Learn more about dependencies here.

Summary

At this point our plan should be similar to this:
