No stages / jobs for this pipeline with schedule job

How to Use GitLab
1

Hi All,

we tried to use the last feature only except however we’re having issue with the schedule job.

with the following configuration file:
# GitLab uses docker in the background.
image: node:8.12.0

# You specify the stages. Those are the steps that GitLab will go through
# Order matters.
stages:
  - build

build:
  except:
    changes:
      - README.md
      - GUIDELINES.md
      - scripts
  before_script:
  - npm install --global lerna
  stage: build
  script: lerna bootstrap

when we try to schedule a job, it’s not triggered saying "No stages / jobs for this pipeline ",
however when we push a change it’s triggering a pipeline.

Would you have an idea why it’s not working ?
