Conditional jump Step

The conditional jump step allows to jump to other steps, based on certain conditions.

conditional_step:
  switch:
    - condition: ${ ...condition }
      next: step_name_1
    - condition: ${ ...condition }
      next: step_name_2
  next: step_name_3

Mandatory fields:

• switch - determines the step type
  • - condition - script containing condition
  • next - name of the step to jump to, if condition is true

Optional fields:

• next - if no condition is true, the value of this will be used to jump to the next step
