I have a notification step and I want to notifier me whenever build is success or failure. but I find when before step is fail, build pipeline will end and the last notify step will never run.
My `.drone.yml` config is [https://github.com/lizheming/drone-wechat/blob/master/.drone.yml](https://github.com/lizheming/drone-wechat/blob/master/.drone.yml)
and this is the latest build link: [https://cloud.drone.io/lizheming/drone-wechat/6/1/4](https://cloud.drone.io/lizheming/drone-wechat/6/1/4)
you can show last wechat step wasn’t run while before step is fail.

Thank you for your reply. I missed the last sentence so I misunderstand the default behavior.
> The default behavior is for pipeline steps to only execute when the pipeline is in a passing state.
