Define workflow without steps for plan and apply

[lvthao]

I have setup multiple atlantis server to run for each atlantis workflow. I used document here https://www.runatlantis.io/docs/server-side-repo-config.html My atlantis.yaml file look like

version: 3
projects:
- name: custom1
  dir: .
  workspace: custom1
  workflow: custom1
- name: custom2
  dir: .
  workspace: custom2
  workflow: custom2
...

my repo server side config repos.yaml on atlantis server

      allowed_overrides: ["workflow"]
      allow_custom_workflows: true
      allowed_workflows: [custom1,custom2]
    workflows:
      custom1:
        plan:
          steps:
          - run: rm -rf .terraform 
          - init:
              extra_args: ["-backend-config=abc.backend", "-upgrade=false"]
          - plan:
              extra_args: [-var-file=custom1.tfvars]
      custom2: # i want to do nothing on the custom2 workflow. this config create a lock and return empty line message 
        plan:
            steps: []
        apply:
          steps: [] 

As i understand if we define the workflow on the atlantis.yaml we need to define a workflow action on server side repo config.

Do we have any way to define custom2 workflow but we don't run any plan or apply on this workflow.

I think you can do a run step in plan with an touch $PLANFILE and it should work.

add plan like that

        plan:
          steps:
          - run : touch 

and get error about missing operand for touch

touch: missing file operand
Try 'touch --help' for more information. ```

@lvthao what problem are you trying to solve with a workflow with an empty plan/apply?
