Chaining apps with errors

TomBuckley

I'm trying to chain some apps on our local Alteryx Gallery using the "On success - Run Another Analytic App".

However, one of the apps I've created uses the Test tool to output validation errors. A lot of the tests I've created are essentially warnings or notifications, so I want to proceed with running the next chained app. But this is not possible, because an error means it doesn't qualify for "success" in terms of chaining.

 

Is there a way around this without having to rework my 30+ tests into another solution (perhaps the Message tool), or deleting the Test tool? I've been searching the forums and have found suggestions of the Runner macros as an alternative method of chaining apps, but they're not supported on the Gallery.

 

Any help would be appreciated, even if it's just "no, not possible". Thanks!

@TomBuckley ,

 

Try using the Message tool instead of test. With the message tool you can choose the type of message you're creating, so, you can launch warnings instead of errors.
