I got a case where two GitHub Actions are running concurrently (as intended) with a push on master branch. Problem is, I want it to run in a queue instead and I couldn't find any helpful doc about it. In my case, I needed the action to only run after a run of the same action ends as my deploy breaks if its still executing the last one. I would have to deal with a third-party cli that I didn't want to in first place to make it wait instead of straight up deploying, I would very much prefer doing it on the whole action.
I see here the following solutions:
push
).But all these options tbh are more like hacks. GitHub Actions are designed to run in parallel and if you want to run actions in specific order you should consider to use jobs instead and use needs
property to make a dependency between them. Example:
jobs:
job1:
name: Run 1st job
job2:
name: Run 2nd job
needs: job1
