Conditionally execution

[pokonski]

Can you share a real life example on when one would need dynamic branching? Because this goes against the basic design of Gush.

Jobs are created when workflow is first created and persisted. But they are put on queue when any job's descendants finish successfully.

@pokonski I have a similar situation:

I have a pdf manual pipeline that looks like this:

database row with url -> DownloadJob -(manual.id)-> ProcessingJob -(manual.id)-> PublishJob

Gush seems like a good fit for my case, but unfortunately I also need to deal with errors on every step.

e.g. if DownloadJob failed to download the manual, I'll need to break out the workflow and update the source with the given error.

The best way to deal with it would've been a conditional execution, like:

success: DownloadJob -(:ok, manual.id)-> ProcessingJob
error: DownloadJob -(:error, ["Wrong mime type"] -> ErrorInSourceJob

Okay thanks for feedback! I'll look into that but at the same time I do not want break compatibility with older versions, so this would be most likely opt in
