Is there any resource out there that gives an overview of all the possible status conditions a kubernetes job can have?

I'm wondering because I would like to check, when I run a job if it is already running and if so, exit the new job.

I came across until kubectl get jobs myjob -o jsonpath='{.status.conditions[?(@.type=="Complete")].status}' | grep True ; do sleep 1 ; done quite a few times but I want to know if it is running, not if it is already complete. Would prefer not to wait (ha) for kubectl 1.11 wait functionality

The kubernetes API docs for JobCondition imply that the only type values are “Complete” and “Failed”, and that they may have a ”True” or ”False” status.

In addition to the job status conditions array, you may also find it informative to look at the job status active count, and the startTime and completionTime if you’re just interested in whether it’s finished.

    What does status "True" or "False" mean? `completionTime` time is not populated if the job finished unsuccessfully, so it is not very useful for determining if the job has finished. – Andrew Savinykh Jan 02 '20 at 20:04

kubectl get jobs <myjob> --namespace <mynamespae> -o jsonpath='{.status.conditions[?(@.type=="Succeeded")].status}'

I believe this can help to get all job statuses for a given selector and after the result can be parsed in bash or CI to wait until some specific statuses:

kubectl get job -n myspace --selector=appName=myapplication -o json | jq -r '.items[] | .metadata.name + ":" + (.status.conditions[] | select(.status == "True") .type + ":" + .status)'
myapplication-job-1558097758:Complete:True
myapplication-job-1558101228:Failed:True

Also here I found another example for bash:

Wait for kubernetes job to complete on either failure/success using command line

By @ruazn2:

until [[ $SECONDS -gt $end ]] || [[ $(kubectl get jobs $job_name -o jsonpath='{.status.conditions[?(@.type=="Failed")].status}') == "True" ]] || [[ $(kubectl get jobs $job_name -o jsonpath='{.status.conditions[?(@.type=="Complete")].status}') == "True" ]]; do

This one has been successfully tested and returns "True" or "False":

kubectl get jobs <myjob> --namespace <mynamespace> -o jsonpath='{.status.conditions[?(@.type=="Complete")].status}'

    almost exactly what I wanted, all I care is the status, so `-o=jsonpath='{.status.conditions[].type}'`. thank you for this – Eugene Oct 21 '21 at 02:41
