How to use a circleci orb - circleci

I am new to circleci so not sure how to use an orb. Couldn't find a good example documetation. The orb in question is this https://circleci.com/developer/orbs/orb/ganezasan/auto-cancel-workflow
The idea is that circleci should be able to cancel other josb whose tests are failed. Instead of re-inventing the wheel, i found this orb but couldn't find a sample config.yml file.
How can i use this orb in my existing config.yml file?

The orb page you linked provides a usage example:
jobs:
failed-job:
docker:
- image: 'cimg/base:stable'
steps:
- run: sleep 30 && exit 1
success-job-1:
docker:
- image: 'cimg/base:stable'
steps:
- run: sleep 60
success-job-2:
docker:
- image: 'cimg/base:stable'
steps:
- run: sleep 60
orbs:
auto-cancel: ganezasan/auto-cancel-workflow#0.0.7
version: 2.1
workflows:
cancel-workflow:
jobs:
- success-job-1
- success-job-2
- failed-job
- auto-cancel/auto-cancel:
api_token: CIRCLE_TOKEN
interval_seconds: 10
But basically. You need to add the orb to your config.yml using this code block
orbs:
auto-cancel: ganezasan/auto-cancel-workflow#0.0.7
and then you need to add this job to your workflow
- auto-cancel/auto-cancel:
api_token: CIRCLE_TOKEN
interval_seconds: 10
and then you need to make sure you have an environment variable added to your project called CIRCLE_TOKEN with the value set to a CircleCI API token that you can generate under User Settings > Personal API Tokens.
But rather than using this orb you may want to look at running your jobs in series using requires. In the workflow below if test1 fails both test2 and deploy will be skipped. If test 1 is successful, test2 will run. If test2 fails then deploy will be skipped.
workflows:
version: 2
build-test-and-deploy:
jobs:
- build
- test1:
requires:
- build
- test2:
requires:
- test1
- deploy:
requires:
- test2

I am facing an issue while running batch command to push the code from local server to repository (Gitlab)

Here is the attached YML file and error description for more information.
Below is the yml code to execute bat file in GitLab:
job_1:
tags :
-ci
before_script:
- echo "This is the before_script."
- echo "Attempting to run the WindowsCommand 35 version-application.bat file..."
- call C:\ADM\appian-adm-versioning-client-2.5.9\version-application.bat
script:
- version-application.bat -action "addContents" -application_path "C:\Demo\Application Exports\ASD_App_12172019.zip" -commit_message "Sdlc application 12242019"
How can I make this job work?
The relevant error seems to be:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: version-manager.properties
(The system cannot find the file specified)
Check in the Appian documentation if/how that file should be present.
But you should at least version it and push it, in order for the gitlab-ci job to use it.

Travis allow_failures AND condition

I have a travis build file that looks like as described below (retracted). With allow_failures I would like to select rows from build matrix to meet condition
go=tip AND JOB=check
However travis evaluates it as
go=tip OR JOB=check
Is there a way to achieve the AND condition for my specific case?
go:
- 1.8
- 1.9
- tip
env:
global:
- GOARCH=amd64
matrix:
- JOB=docker
- JOB=deb
- JOB=rpm
- JOB=check
matrix:
allow_failures:
- go: tip
- env: JOB=check
Solution received here
matrix:
allow_failures:
- go: tip
env: JOB=check

Can't run UI test for iOS on Bitrise

I'm following this tutorial using their own sample repository that I forked from GitHub: https://discuss.bitrise.io/t/how-to-do-calabash-uitesting-on-bitrise/361 I'm not doing anything special or anything different than the tutorial.
I managed to get the APK and Android UI test working using calabash. But for some reason the APP for iOS is not in the artifacts despite it says it built it and the UI tests (also with calabash) are failing.

I asked the people from Bitrise and apparently calabsh-ios support Xcode 6 and 7 which are old and Bitrise doesn't provide a stack for that version.

How to properly define multiple env variables for all jobs on .travis.yml

The documentation says:
When you define multiple variables per line in the env array (matrix variables), one build is triggered per item.
rvm:
- 1.9.3
- rbx
env:
- FOO=foo BAR=bar
- FOO=bar BAR=foo
But what if I define only 1 per line? I'm doing the following:
env:
- FOO=1
- BAR=2
- BAZ=3
But it's triggering 3 builds? I expected it to trigger 1 build, with those 3 env variables. Do I have to defined them like this?
env:
- FOO=1 BAR=2 BAZ=3 QUX=4 ........ =10
Or am I missing something here?
You need to define them as global variables:
env:
global:
- FOO=1
- BAR=2
- BAZ=3
See Global variables documentation for more info.

Travis-CI allow_failures when multiple environment variables are set

I'm trying to set allow_failures for a complex build process, but unfortunately it isn't working.
The problem is that in my env I am setting multiple environment variables, and cannot get Travis to recognise that I want on of these rows to be allowed to fail.
The documentation on allow_failures shows how to allow a single env to fail, along with another configuration option, but doesn't cover how to allow a multiple enviroment variable setup to fail.
The troublesome sections of the .travis.yml file are below:
env:
- DJANGO_VERSION='1.8,<1.9' DB=sqlitefile SEARCH=whoosh
- DJANGO_VERSION='1.8,<1.9' DB=postgres SEARCH=whoosh
- DJANGO_VERSION='1.8,<1.9' DB=mysql SEARCH=whoosh
- DJANGO_VERSION='1.8,<1.9' DB=sqlitefile SEARCH=elasticsearch
- DJANGO_VERSION='1.8,<1.9' DB=postgres SEARCH=elasticsearch
- DJANGO_VERSION='1.8,<1.9' DB=mysql SEARCH=elasticsearch
matrix:
allow_failures:
- env: DJANGO_VERSION='1.8,<1.9' DB=mysql SEARCH=elasticsearch
- env: DJANGO_VERSION='1.8,<1.9' DB=mysql SEARCH=whoosh
How can I do this?
Fixed!
Travis allow_failure options must be identical down to the whitespace!
So this won't work:
env:
- FOO='one' BAR='two'
- FOO='three' BAR='four'
matrix:
allow_failures:
- env: FOO='one' BAR='two'
But this will:
env:
- FOO='one' BAR='two'
- FOO='three' BAR='four'
matrix:
allow_failures:
- env: FOO='one' BAR='two'
