GitLab

You may probably control if a job is executed when pushing on the master branch, or when updating a merge request. For this, you can use rules.

TODO

• create a merge request from this issue
• open the WebIDE
• update the .gitlab-ci.yml file
• add a new stage: all_under_control
• add a new job: when_master belonging to all_under_control

  when_master:
    stage: all_under_control
    tags: [docker]
    rules:
      - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "master" # 1️⃣
    script: |
      echo "We are on the master branch"

  1️⃣ we test if we are pushing on the master branch, and if yes, the job will be triggered

• add a new job: when_merge_request belonging to all_under_control

  when_merge_request:
    stage: all_under_control
    tags: [docker]
    rules:
      - if: $CI_MERGE_REQUEST_IID # 1️⃣
    script: |
      echo "We are on the branch $CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME"
      echo "IID: $CI_MERGE_REQUEST_IID"

  1️⃣ we test if we are doing a merge request, and if yes, the job will be triggered

• commit your changes, it will trigger the pipeline
• observe the pipeline (how many jobs in the all_under_control stage ?)
• observe the output of the pipeline
• merge on master (the pipe will be triggered again)
• observe the pipeline (and output) again
