Circleci-agent step halt not working?

I’ve got an orb that tries to conditionally call circleci-agent step halt to exit the current step/job, but it seems that it’s being ignored, as the script just continues to execute. We’ve had to go in and add exit 0 after the halt command, and that seems to work properly.

Is circleci-agent step halt even still supported, or is it just broken, or am I just using it wrong?

Here’s the orb that uses it: Orb Source – see line 128

And here’s an example of a job that behaved incorrectly, using the above orb: failed step
Note that in the output, it properly echoed “Ignoring build for dubot compatibility – no image will be pushed to ST”, but then instead of exiting, execution has continued to the part at the end where it echos “tagging image st-enterprise-manager…”

Hey, the circleci-agent step halt doesn’t prevent the rest of the step from executing. It will only prevent the following steps in same job from running.

Found explanation here.

Also, it will not prevent following jobs from running if they depended on the job that ran the step halt command.
