Hi,
I am on Gitlab CE 14.1. In my .gitlab.ci.yml
I define two jobs: A
and B
. The job B
needs
the job A
. I add rules
to A
and it runs if some files change in the repo. I also want to skip B
if A
is not created but in those cases CI gives YAML error saying that B
needs A
but A
doesn’t exist.
So, I was thinking that the problem should have been solved in 14.1: In GitLab 13.9 and older, if needs: refers to a job that might not be added to a pipeline because of only, except, or rules, the pipeline might fail to create.
ref But it looks like this isn’t the case. A workaround may be copying same rules
on both A
and B
but this isn’t a scalable and easily maintainable solution.
What would be a proper solution?
Thank you!
Alper.
