Hello,
Is it currently possible to trigger a job on a pipeline that contains a rule, only: -tags ?
Because I of course tried to do it, and my job never launches after pushing a tag to the repository.
I use another job which launches the semantic-release plugin to create my tag.
Thank you in advance for your response.
Sincerely.
Hi @Luluxation 
Welcome to the GitLab Community Forum! 
Use of only is technically deprecated.
For your use case (only trigger job in pipelines running on tags), I something like this should work:
job:
script:
- something
rules:
if: $CI_COMMIT_TAG
when: always

Hi Greg, unfortunately this rule is not working. I am having it on my main branch (protected one). Got a single job that has that rule but pushing a tag does nothing. It does not trigger pipeline.
It works when I used “only” but besides its deprecated, it also triggers pipeline twice.
Any advice here?
