Hi,
I am looking to set up a delayed job in Gitlab. I have a job in the deploy stage of my pipeline that can be triggered only manually which sets up some infrastructure. Lets call this job A
If this manual job is selected and successfully executed then i would like to trigger a delayed job (job B) using when:delayed that runs 24 hours after job A.
Here is a common use case that I am not quite sure how to solve:
Lets say we write some code and trigger job A on Monday morning (AM). The infrastructure is ready and job B is queued to run on Tuesday AM to delete the infrastructure.
Now lets say though that on Monday afternoon (PM), we make some changes and again manually trigger job A to update the infrastructure.
Does this now mean that job B will be updated to be triggered on Tuesday PM or will this job still be queued to execute on Tuesday in the AM ?
Please advise, the documentation here (https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#whendelayed) is very thin on how this works or if this is possible.
Thanks
- J
