I’m trying to implement a new pipeline. After exploring the documentation for gilabci i settle on the concept of parent/child pipelines with templates to improve maintainability.

The pipelines execute flawlessly, but when i create a merge request the pipeline status is always pending with the message " Checking pipeline status.".

I assumed that by having the strategy: depend on trigger the status from children pipelines would be propagated to the parent ones. Thus allowing me to see one consolidated result in the merge request page.

Gitlab Version 13.8.1 Self-Managed

.gitlab-ci.yml

stages:
  - triggers

webcare:
  stage: triggers
  variables:
    SCHEMA: webcare
  trigger:
    include: pipeline/zone.gitlab-ci.yml
    strategy: depend
  only:
    changes:
      - schemas/webcare/*

pipeline/zone.gitlab-ci.yml

stages:
  - triggers

dev1:
  stage: triggers
  variables:
    ZONE: dev1
    SCHEMA: $SCHEMA
  trigger:
    include: pipeline/flyway.gitlab-ci.yml
    strategy: depend
  rules:
    - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH ||  $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "develop"
      when: never
    - when: on_success

pipeline/flyway.gitlab-ci.yml

stages:
  - info
  - validate
  - migrate

before_script:
  - echo "Versions:"
  - docker-compose --version
  - docker --version

variables:
  SCHEMA: $SCHEMA
  ZONE: $ZONE

info:
  stage: info
  script:
    - ./tools/flyway -s $SCHEMA -z $ZONE info

validate:
  stage: validate
  needs:
    - info
  script:
    - ./tools/flyway -s $SCHEMA -z $ZONE validate

migrate:
  stage: migrate
  needs:
    - validate
  script:
    - echo $SCHEMA $ZONE "migrate"

Would anyone be able to point me in correct direction?
