graph - Add edge if not exist using gremlin

I'm using cosmos graph db in azure.

Does anyone know if there is a way to add an edge between two vertex only if it doesn't exist (using gremlin graph query)?

I can do that when adding a vertex, but not with edges. I took the code to do so from here:

g.Inject(0).coalesce(__.V().has('id', 'idOne'), addV('User').property('id', 'idOne'))

Thanks!

It is possible to do with edges. The pattern is conceptually the same as vertices and centers around coalesce(). Using the "modern" TinkerPop toy graph to demonstrate:

gremlin> g.V().has('person','name','vadas').as('v').
           V().has('software','name','ripple').
           coalesce(__.inE('created').where(outV().as('v')),
                    addE('created').from('v').property('weight',0.5))
==>e[13][2-created->5]

Here we add an edge between "vadas" and "ripple" but only if it doesn't exist already. the key here is the check in the first argument to coalesce().
