I'm not sure that's what I needed. For example, I wanted to trigger a job only for a merge request, and only if the target branch of the merge request is e.g. master. Is that possible? Trigger a job only for a MR is possible, but I don't know how to further do the later branch filtering.
- cpitman 7y agoWhen using a merge_request pipeline, GitLab defines additional variables for the run. That includes `CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_NAME`. So it would look something like this: job: only: refs: - merge_requests variables: - $CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_NAME == "master"
- chinhodado 7y agoOh wow I didn't know you can do conditionals with variable like that. I'll give it a try later, thanks!
- saidmasoud 7y agoWe generally only merge into master at my org, but I didn't know you could conditionally trigger jobs using an equality expression on a GitLab-provided variable. I'll have to keep this in the back pocket for future reference, thanks! Any docs that describe this feature in more detail?
