Trigger Gitlab-CI Pipeline only when there is a new tag

Question

I have following gitlab-ci conf. file:

before_script:
  - echo %CI_BUILD_REF%
  - echo %CI_PROJECT_DIR%

stages:
  - createPBLs
  - build
  - package


creat         


        

Answer 1

I recommend to use pattern in varibles-expression using commits

Example

build_api:
 stage: build
 script:
  - docker build --pull -t $CONTAINER_TEST_IMAGE .
  - docker push $CONTAINER_TEST_IMAGE
only:
  variables:
   - $CI_COMMIT_MESSAGE =~ /(\[pipeline\]|(merge))/     

Here i am saying that only execute that job when have [pipeline] or merge inside the commit. More info, here in gitlab
