Soft Fail for cancelled builds

I thought at first (and perhaps I am just doing it wrong), but it would be great if soft fail passed builds that are cancelled. Currently it seems that the UI acknowledges the soft fail (code 255), but still fails the build.

It would be great if cancellation (manual or automated) could be made to step fail and build pass. (soft-fail)

Hi @nikrollz and welcome to the forum!

The reason why cancellation is considered a hard fail is because it’s a direct action from the user.

What problem are you trying to solve with soft failures? If you can email support@buildkite.com with more details, we’d love to help you find a solution :)
