custom stages and allow_failure prevents running other jobs

When you add allow_failure: true in your .gitlab-ci.yml, then only the first job is build, other jobs are ignored.
When you remove the allow_failure, other jobs are build as expected.

This is an example project I used for testing;

• the .gitlab-ci.yml
• commit without allow_failure: dece390, other jobs are executed as expected.
• commit with allow_failure: e515ad1, only the cleanup job is build, other jobs are ignored.

see comment below for some test cases I ran

Same issue here, using:

• Gitlab CE 8.1.2
• gitlab-ci-multi-runner 0.6.2 (3227f0a)

can it be a combination of custom stages and allow_failure? Because Gitlab it self also uses allow_failure in their .gitlab-ci.yml and all their jobs are build ....

Title changed from allow_failure prevents running other jobs to custom stages and allow_failure prevents running other jobs

it is indeed a bug that occurs with custom stages and allow_failure:

• custom stages and first job allow_failure does not work (example .gitlab-ci.yml and the build result)
• custom stages and second job allow_failure works (example .gitlab-ci.yml and the build result)
• default stages and first job allow_failure works (example .gitlab-ci.yml and the build result)

I've found a workaround, just add a dummy job in same stage as allow_failure-jobs. That "kickstarts" the next stage:

dummy:
  stage: clean
  script:
    - echo "Dummy job as workaround for CI bug #3192"
