I’m trying a setup with one of the jobs (deployment) being run only when trigger is used. As per documentation I’m using triggers keyword:
stages:
- build
- deployment
cache:
key: "$CI_BUILD_REF_NAME"
paths:
- Release/
compilation:
stage: build
script:
- ./build.sh
deployment:
stage: deployment
only:
- triggers
script:
- ./deployment.sh
Even though the compilation job runs correctly (and has “triggered” label in the “Builds” page), deployment never runs. If I remove the only condition, the job is performed correctly.
Have I misunderstood the documentation or is there some mistake in my .gitlab-ci.yml?
PS: I now I can use a workaround and instead make a condition in the deployment.sh script to check whether the job has been run with a trigger but I’d prefer not having the job run at all upon push.
