WAIT step

[zaclang]

Hi folks, I can see adding WAIT functionality is on your roadmap. Do you have any idea on when that might be available?

In lieu of that I guess I could do some polling to see when the build is done?

You could use https://github.com/EnricoMi/download-buildkite-artifact-action to wait for the build in the meanwhile.

is there any timeline for this feature to be implemented?

Hi @espipj, We will try to get this scheduled in a week or two.

Hi @espipj , sorry this has slipped into our radar. Do you think polling as suggested by @zaclang would work for you as a workaround? The contributor that added the WAIT step into the road map has already left therefore we needed to review the scope of this work.

Hello @lizrabuya . It is definitely not ideal but it seems that's what @EnricoMi action is doing if I'm not wrong. So that's what I am using at the moment.

any news on timeline? Would prefer not to poll :(

[jradtilbrook]

Hi @davidohlin I think polling is the only option here as there is no gear that would allow waiting on a step. The best we could do is "hide" the polling within this action workflow so its transparent to the user.

However, this isn't high on our list of things to get to - although we do agree it would be useful.

Would you be open to providing a PR to add this functionality? That would help us out a lot
