    Looking at the examples, you’ve just made a brand new GitHub Actions framework. There’s YAML to wrap everything together and a bunch of Python that’s so declarative it might as well be HCL. Do you have an example that’s a bit more than “do what YAML does only in bash?”

      Ok, try to do it on GH actions, share states between tasks/jobs for example:

      tasks/task_one/task.py

      #!/usr/python3
      update_state({
        'out1' : 'out1 value',
        'out2' : 'out2 value'
      })
      

      tasks/task_two/task.py

      #!/usr/python3
      dict = get_state()
      print(dict["out1"])
      print(dict["out2"])
      

      Or share states between jobs:

      jobs/job1/task.py

      #!/usr/python3
      
      update_state({
        'out1' : 'out1 value',
        'out2' : 'out2 value'
      })
      

      jobs/job2/task.py

      dict = config()
      
      print(dict["_dsci_"]["job1"]["out1"])
      print(dict["_dsci_"]["job1"]["out2"])
      
      

      I can’t imagine how much boilerplate code (if this ever possible ) one needs to write to achieve that on YAML based pipelines (GH Actions/ etc)

      And don’t tell me about jobs artifacts ))

        This is a boilerplate example. I asked for something more than boilerplate. Give me some reasons why I need an incredibly stateful CI engine.

          it’s just because I think in real world we have a lot of tasks where state is required or extremely beneficial, some examples on top of my head:

          • creation of virtual machines with dynamic IP addresses
          • creation of bug tracking system tickets with unique ticket IDs
          • looking up in databases where fetched records have unique IDs

          etc

            I wouldn’t do any of that in a CI-only system. If I did, I’d use tools that exist for those jobs that already allow scripting languages.

            1. Why wouldn’t you use IaC tools for this? All the majors have Python already.
            2. What build or deploy task needs to both create and reference a bug ticket?
            3. What build or deploy task needs to do database lookups? Or possibly what task needs those across multiple, independent stages?
