Can I skip one of the action in CodeBuild ? to continue the pipieline

Question

Hello guys, I have a pipeline Source -> CodeBuild -> Deploy
And I have two actions in the CodeBuild. 
I found out if one of the action of failed, the pipeline will stop. This action in CodeBuild is optional to the project, so I want to continue the pipeline to Deploy even the action is failed in CodeBuild.
Thanks!

Hello,

Currently, CodePipeline does not support skipping a stage/action. The available option to bypass this failing stage would be to edit the pipeline, remove the action and re-run the Pipeline.

You may automate the process of bypassing the failing stage by creating an [event rule](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/userguide/detect-state-changes-cloudwatch-events.html#detect-state-events-action-failed) to monitor the Pipeline for failed action-level events. This event can then be routed to targets such as Lambda and SNS. The Lambda can be configured to make [GetPipeline ](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/APIReference/API_GetPipeline.html) and [UpdatePipeline ](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/APIReference/API_UpdatePipeline.html) calls to remove the failing action.

There is an existing feature request for CodePipeline to support skipping a stage or action and I have added your request to it. While I am unable to comment on if/when this feature may get released, I request you to keep an eye on our [What's New](https://aws.amazon.com/new/), [Document History](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/userguide/history.html) and [Blog ](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/)pages for any new feature announcements.

I dont think there is direct support for this. However, the way I worked around it was:
1.  Add a Pipeline Variable called something like "ACTION" with a value of "process", "apply" or, in this case, "no-op" to represent a bypass scenario.
2. In your buildspec (or scripts) add the little logic to evaluate that ACTION. Something like the code below.

```
if [ $ACTION == "process" ]; then
   process.sh
elif [$ACTION == "no-op"]; then
  echo "Received value of no-op, bypassing this step"
....etc. 
```
