How to set up and validate locally

Set up a project to use the following .gitlab-ci.yml and make sure that when job_b fails the pipeline is not canceled, but is canceled when job_c fails 🙂

workflow:
  auto_cancel:
    on_job_failure: all

job_a:
  script:
    - sleep 20

job_b:
  allow_failure: true
  script:
    - sleep 5
    - exit 1

job_c:
  script:
    - sleep 10
    - exit 1
