Allow a task to fail (slack notification)

[midweste]

We have a couple notifications that happen on deployment and occasionally the api endpoint takes longer than 5s to respond and deployer considers it a failed deployment. Is there any way to allow a task to fail and not count that as a failed deployment step?

It's not a huge deal if the slack notification (or other) fails, we don't want it to run deploy;failed afterward.

Thanks!

Anyone have any ideas here?

Can you use try catch inside you tasks?

[antonmedv]

This should be possible:

task("my-task", function () {
    try {
       invoke("other-task");
    } catch (e) {
    }
});

I'll test it out, thank you!
