You can define jobs from stages that were executed before the current one. **Keyword type**: Job keyword. You can use it only as part of a job.
An error occurs if you define jobs from the current or an upcoming stage.
To prevent a job from downloading artifacts, define an empty array.
When you use `dependencies`, the status of the previous job is not considered. **Possible inputs**:
If a job fails or it's a manual job that isn't triggered, no error occurs.
The following example defines two jobs with artifacts: `build:osx` and - The names of jobs to fetch artifacts from.

##### When a dependent job fails In this example, two jobs have artifacts: `build osx` and `build linux`. When `test osx` is executed,
the artifacts from `build osx` are downloaded and extracted in the context of the build.
The same thing happens for `test linux` and artifacts from `build linux`.
> Introduced in GitLab 10.3. The `deploy` job downloads artifacts from all previous jobs because of
