Slack plugin doesn't send message if pipeline failed

Drone Support

I can only get the slack plugin for Drone to fire off if the job gets to that step, otherwise, if it fails I have no idea unless I look at my drone instance. Is there a way to fix this? I’m assuming I have it in the wrong place? This is located at the bottom of my steps in my drone yaml. Is there any way to have the step fire off even if the others before it fail?

    image: plugins/slack
    settings:
      webhook: ---
      icon_url: ---
      username: Drone
      channel: ---
      template: >
        {{#success build.status}}
          Build {{build.number}} succeeded and deployed :)
          Event: {{build.event}}
          Branch: {{build.branch}}
          Tag: {{build.tag}}
          Git SHA: {{build.commit}}
          Link: {{build.link}}
        {{else}}
          Build {{build.number}} failed and did not deploy :(
          Event: {{build.event}}
          Branch: {{build.branch}}
          Tag: {{build.tag}}
          Git SHA: {{build.commit}}
          Link: {{build.link}}
        {{/success}}
      when:
        status: [success, failure]```

here is an example yaml and the corresponding results (in Drone) that demonstrates how to execute a step on both success and failure:

your example looks like it has an indentation error. The when clause should be a sibling of the settings clause, not a child.

Brilliant, thank you again for your help
