For your scenario, there are two separate paths through your pipeline depending on the "source": a 'push' or a 'schedule'. You can get the source of the pipeline with the CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE variable. I build these paths separately at first, then combine them:
# First source: push events stages: build deploy test variables: BUILD_ARTIFACTS_DIR: "artifacts" build-incremental: timeout: 5h stage: build script: - echo "Building" - ./ci/do-prep - echo "done." artifacts: paths: - $BUILD_ARTIFACTS_DIR/ variables: BUILD_TOP_DIR: "/workspace/builds" tags: - yocto rules: - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == 'push' when: manual - when: never deploy-incremental: stage: deploy script: - echo "Deploying..." - ./ci/do-deploy - echo "done." tags: - yocto needs: ['build-incremental'] rules: - if $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == 'push' when: always - when: never test-incremental: stage: test script: - echo "Testing..." - ./ci/do-test - echo "done." tags: - yocto needs: ['deploy-incremental'] rules: - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == 'push' when: always - when: never
In this path, if the source is a push, the build step will run upon manual input, otherwise it will never run. Then, the deploy-incremental step will run automatically (without waiting for other jobs or stages) as long as the source is a push, otherwise it will never run. Finally the test-incremental job will run automatically without waiting for other jobs or stages if it's a push like above.
Now we can build the schedule path:
# Scheduled path: stages: build deploy test variables: BUILD_ARTIFACTS_DIR: "artifacts" build-schedule: timeout: 5h stage: build script: - echo "Building" - ./ci/do-prep - echo "done." artifacts: paths: - $BUILD_ARTIFACTS_DIR/ variables: BUILD_TOP_DIR: "/workspace/builds" tags: - yocto rules: - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE === 'schedule' when: manual - when: never deploy-schedule: stage: deploy script: - echo "Deploying..." - ./ci/do-deploy - echo "done." tags: - yocto needs: ['build-schedule'] rules: - if $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == 'schedule' when: always - when: never test-schedule: stage: test script: - echo "Testing..." - ./ci/do-test - echo "done." tags: - yocto needs: ['deploy-schedule'] rules: - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == 'schedule' when: always - when: never
This works the same way as the push path, but we check to see if the source is schedule.
Now we can combine the two paths:
Combined result: stages: build deploy test variables: BUILD_ARTIFACTS_DIR: "artifacts" build-incremental: timeout: 5h stage: build script: - echo "Building" - ./ci/do-prep - echo "done." artifacts: paths: - $BUILD_ARTIFACTS_DIR/ variables: BUILD_TOP_DIR: "/workspace/builds" tags: - yocto rules: - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == 'push' when: manual - when: never build-schedule: timeout: 5h stage: build script: - echo "Building" - ./ci/do-prep - echo "done." artifacts: paths: - $BUILD_ARTIFACTS_DIR/ variables: BUILD_TOP_DIR: "/workspace/builds" tags: - yocto rules: - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == 'schedule' when: manual - when: never deploy-incremental: stage: deploy script: - echo "Deploying..." - ./ci/do-deploy - echo "done." tags: - yocto needs: ['build-incremental'] rules: - if $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == 'push' when: always - when: never deploy-schedule: stage: deploy script: - echo "Deploying..." - ./ci/do-deploy - echo "done." tags: - yocto needs: ['build-schedule'] rules: - if $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == 'schedule' when: always - when: never test-incremental: stage: test script: - echo "Testing..." - ./ci/do-test - echo "done." tags: - yocto needs: ['deploy-incremental'] rules: - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == 'push' when: always - when: never test-schedule: stage: test script: - echo "Testing..." - ./ci/do-test - echo "done." tags: - yocto needs: ['deploy-schedule'] rules: - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == 'schedule' when: always - when: never
A pipeline like this is tedious and takes a bit to build, but works great when you have multiple paths/ways to build the project.
