Hi,
we start our nightly build by creating a ‘schedule’ in CI/CD => Schedules, configure them with cron pattern, some variables etc. Within our .gitlab-ci.yml we configure some jobs with only: schedules
in order to start such a job ONLY if it was started by the scheduler OR if we manually click the play button.
Now, only becomes deprecated and we should use the new rules
keyword. We define some rules in order to decide, which deployment we start for the given scheduled task. we use
deploy-1-nightly:
stage: deploy
rules:
- if: '$PROFILE == "1-nightly"'
when: always
deploy-2-nightly:
stage: deploy
rules:
- if: '$PROFILE == "2-nightly"'
when: always
But both jobs are now executed on each build, not only for those scheduled builds !
How can we combine the new rules
with the previously uses only:schedules
in order to start such a job on scheduled (or clicked play button) only ?
kind regards
Dominik
