Given the following .gitlab-ci.yml:
---
stages:
- .pre
- test
- build
compile-build-pipeline:
stage: .pre
script: [...]
artifacts:
paths: [".artifacts/build.yaml"]
lint-source:
stage: .pre
script: [...]
run-tests:
stage: test
rules:
- if: '$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "$CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH"'
trigger:
strategy: depend
include:
artifact: .artifacts/tests.yaml
job: "compile-test-pipeline"
needs: ["compile-test-pipeline"]
build-things:
stage: test
rules:
- if: '$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "$CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH"'
trigger:
strategy: depend
include:
artifact: .artifacts/build.yaml
job: "compile-build-pipeline"
needs: ["compile-build-pipeline"]
...
The configuration should always run (any branch, any source). Tests and build jobs should be run only on the default branch.
However, no jobs are run for merge requests, and manually triggering the pipeline on branches other than the default one give the error No Jobs/Stages for this Pipeline.
I've tried explicitly setting an always run rule using rules: [{if: '$CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE'}] to the jobs in the .pre stage, but no dice.
What am I doing wrong?
