Given the following conf: nightly: jobs: - build-run-ui-test-coverage - merge-test-results: requires: - build-run-ui-test-coverage It is possible to run job “build-run-ui-test-coverage” even if “build-run-ui-test-coverage” job fails? thanks ---

👋 Hi @skychiarottoa, The `requires` only works in case of a success. But there is a workaround; you can see it [here](https://discuss.circleci.com/t/workaround-run-jobs-sequentially-regardless-of-the-outcome-of-the-required-jobs/40807). Let me know if this helps. ---

The inconvenient I can see with your suggested workaround is that I cannot use persist\_to\_workspace/attach\_workspace to pass data from one job to the other one. Maybe I can use store\_artifact and curl to get data from stored artifacts?
