Replace this template with your information
I want to reuse my rules using the !reference tag but it seems that I can’t use the same rule in both some-job:rules: and workflow:rules: because the second one can’t recognize the on_success keyword.
I wanted to “hoist” the “when” keyword from the rules and define it after !reference to rule like this:
workflow:
rules:
- !reference [.my-rule, rules]
when: always
some-job:
rules:
- !reference [.my-rule, rules]
when: on_success
But GitLab CI doesn’t allow this:
Included file `.gitlab-ci/my-job.yml` does not have valid YAML syntax!
So the only way I see to handle it is duplicate entire rule set and change when: on_success to when: always:
.job-rules.yml:
.my-rule:
rules:
# Run pipeline only on MRs targeted develop
- if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event" && $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH != "develop"
when: on_success
.workflow-rules.yml:
.my-workflow-rule:
rules:
# Run pipeline only on MRs targeted develop
- if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event" && $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH != "develop"
when: always
But I really want to avoid such duplication. Is there any way to reuse the same rule for workflow:rules and job:rules: blocks?
