Since the last step that reported a status was a success I guess it continued this one instead of skipping.

If it’s really a problem it seems you should check the outcome of each step, or check for cancelled:

But in docs:

success
Returns true when none of the previous steps have failed or been canceled.

Could you link the workflow run?

I tested the judgment using the outcome and it was successful, but I am still confused about why success() cannot judge success. This is the record at the time.

I’m not so sure your cancel was actually processed at all. The “setup and build” step actually says it was skipped, which I believe means that the condition steps.comparison1.outputs.result == 'true' was not met.

Subsequent steps were skipped cause success() wasn’t true after “Get menifest version” failed. (“Get menufest version” failed because success was still true and the file it needed wasn’t present. It doesn’t look like there’s a way to check skipped steps … at least not as a success/failure/cancelled condition [that I’ve seen]).

Note, not sure if you care but there’s a few occurrences of "menifest’ which should likely be “manifest” 😉

Thank you for your reply. You mean that the success status judged by Get manifest version comes from Compare version, and setup and build is skipped directly?

I think it may be caused by such a situation. Is there any judgment of skip state? I only saw the ones that were judged to be cancelled. To determine the state of the previous step, you need to add an id to each state and write a long judgment formula, which is too verbose.

Finally, thank you for pointing out my spelling mistakes, I am always so careless and I will fix this. 😃

Because the subsequent steps to publish the release also need the support of the previous steps, I have judged the subsequent related steps as an outcome, and there is no problem with the current tests.
Thank you for your suggestions and help. 😃
