Automatic cancellation of failed build when the next one arrives

[net-user]

It unfortunately quite frequently happens, that one of the builds fails (starts, but nothing happens afterwards).
The next build is a concurrent one which is not allowed in the free plan.
Therefore, I have to login and cancel the failing build. (I use GitHub Desktop and am NOT logged in to netlify).

This is tedious.
Please implement a solution for this problem such as automatic cancellation of non successful builds when the next one arrives.

Hi @net-user,

The feature request you’ve made already exists:

Automatically cancel on going builds if a new one is pending

We are running an import that triggers a build if new posts are created. Problem we are having is we are running 4 different imports so the builds tend to stack up. Unfortunately this creates two problems; unnecessary builds and a delay in publish time for our time sensitive material. A feature that would enable us to automatically cancel on going builds if a new one is pending would be greatly appreciated.

On a side note, you could use API to cancel a deploy without having to login:

Netlify

Thank you, hrishikesh!
