Sections
Allows jobs or entire workflows to be queued to ensure they run in serial. This is ideal for deployments or other activities that must not run concurrently. May optionaly consider branch-level isolation if unique branches should run concurrently. This orb requires the project to have an CircleCI API key in order to query build states.

Orb Quick Start Guide

Use CircleCI version 2.1 at the top of your .circleci/config.yml file.

1 version: 2.1

Add the orbs stanza below your version, invoking the orb:

1 2 orbs: workflow-queue: promiseofcake/workflow-queue@dev:da9c07f1813165fa2b6f902c50068d6eceba93de

Use workflow-queue elements in your existing workflows and jobs.

Opt-in to use of uncertified orbs on your organization’s Security settings page.

Jobs

queue

This job is executed and blocks further execution until the necessary criteria is met.

Show job Source
PARAMETER
DESCRIPTION
REQUIRED
DEFAULT
TYPE
confidence
Due to concurrency issues, how many times should we requery the pipeline list to ensure previous jobs are "pending", but not yet active. This number indicates the threshold for API returning no previous pending pipelines. Default is one confirmation, increase if you see issues.
No
'1'
string
debug
If enabled, DEBUG messages will be logged.
No
false
boolean
dont-quit
Force job through once time expires instead of failing.
No
false
boolean
only-on-branch
Only queue on specified branch
No
'*'
string
time
Minutes to wait before giving up.
No
'10'
string
