Hi, Is there a way to conditionally link steps. Say that I have some external condition that determines what downstream steps that should be executed. If the condition is fulfilled we run branch A and if it is not we run branch B. The workaround is to have branch A and B as separate flows that are triggered by the first steps, but Ideally I would like to do it in the same flow. Something like

class MyFlow(FlowSpec):

@step
def first_step(self):
   condition = os.getenv(CONDITION)

   if condition:
      self.next(step_a1)
   else:
      self.next(step_b1)

@step
def step_a1(self):
   self.next(step_a2)

@step
def step_b1(self):
   self.next(step_b2)

When I have tried something similar I usually get an error saying that some steps can't be reached from the start step. Is there a way to ignore those steps if the condition isn't met?

we have active work in this direction that we are planning on releasing this week. if you want to test out the PR, here it is

Okay, cool! I'll check that out!

thanks! feedback would be highly appreciated 🙂 i am tagging @brainy-truck-72938 who owns this PR

Ooh. This is fantastic news for me too! I can remove a little more jank from my code. Although, quick question: this would support conditions with more than two states, right? Essentially if elif else statements?

yep! available now
