hey folks, can you remind me if it is possible to have conditions if(some) self.next(STEP_A), else self.next(STEP_B)

no, conditional branches are not supported but there are a few workarounds https://outerboundsco.slack.com/archives/C020U025QJK/p1641948076018500?thread_ts=1641946316.015000&cid=C020U025QJK

thanks!

Thanks @straight-shampoo-11124 for the workarounds, but maybe since argo workflows has conditionals, it might be worth considering as an argo-specific feature?https://argoproj.github.io/argo-workflows/walk-through/conditionals/

yep, definitely not impossible. There are a few upcoming features that will address some of the use cases of conditionals: • Event triggering will allow you to create events programmatically based on any conditions, so you can trigger "subflows" conditionally • We are actively looking into composing flows from separate subflows, so you can compose larger flows based on various conditions known before the run starts

Great. I'll look into it.

hello! I was wondering how would it be possible to skip a step

foreach

based on the list given as input, if it's empty -> we skip. Even by adding a skip annotation custom, i still get

IndexError: tuple index out of range

in /metaflow/runtime.py", line 474.

unfortunately Metaflow doesn’t allow skipping steps altogether today. The best approximation is to have one no-op task

So the goal would be to inject one element inside the listing for the

foreach

step that would make it work but inside of it we do nothing right?

old thread, but it's available now
