Conditions should allow operators

[raine]

I'm trying to use the conditional workflows addition proposed here in a real project but I'm finding that it is really inflexible due to only allowing single value truthiness evaluation.

I would really like to be able to do equality comparisons and use logical operators.

It looks like you basically have to introduce lots of extra pipeline parameters because you can't write expressions that would capture the same condition more simply.

when: << pipeline.parameters.build_project >> == "subproject" || << pipeline.parameters.build_always >>

Something like that.

We agree this would be Good and are looking at ways to bring more expressiveness to the conditionality around workflows (and other areas).
