How do I stop a seed stage from attempting to generate artifacts for downstream stages? In our setup they're often unrelated so I want to prevent this from happening and from us seeing the error in the log:
Copy code
ERROR: Failed to generate artifact for downstream stage xxxxx.

Hey @Ross Coundon do you want to turn it off for specific stages or all downstream stages?
cc @Jay do you think if it makes sense to add an option in
seed.yml
to turn off artifact generation?
j
Yeah it makes sense.

For us it'd be for all downstream stages. We have multiple customers in each app, all are separate. Our promotions are done via PR merges in Github to the main/master branch
j
One idea @Frank we can talk about. If the downstream stages are auto-deploying, we can auto turn it off?
f
Hey @Ross Coundon, you can now turn off generating downstream artifacts by setting this in your
seed.yml
Copy code
disable_artifacts: true
r
Excellent, thank you
Is that at the root level?
f
Yup it is

Great, ta
