I have a gitlab-ci.yml file like this, and want to run it only on Branch Master. If there is a push into develop branch the Pipeline should NOT start.
I tried with 'only' keyword, but it shows an Error.
stages:
- info
- build
- test
- review
- cleanup
- deploy-dev
- integration-test
- deploy-test
- system-test
- deploy-production
only:
refs:
- master
To define a trigger rule for every stage you can use the workflow keyword, like this:
workflow:
rules:
- if: $CI_COMMIT_TAG
when: never
- if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == 'master'
This has to be on the "root" of your yaml, as it is not part of any job in particular.
In the example above, I am telling the pipeline to avoid running when a repository tag is pushed and to run only when a commit is done in the master branch.
You can use this as a base and add other conditions to trigger the stages in the pipeline, the complete documentation on this matters can be found here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#workflow
I thin you have an indentation problem here. It should be something like:
stages:
- job_1
- job_2
- ....
- job_n
job_1:
stage: job_1
....
only:
refs:
- master
job_2:
stage: job_2
....
only:
refs:
- master
....
You need to define the target branch for each stage.
