How to run a job on the basis of pipeline variables in Gitlab?-CodePudding

I am trying to execute a job on some pipeline variables. I have used 'rules' in my .gitlab-ci.yml file but getting the error "key may not be used with 'rules': only". How can I do this?

build-dev:


stage: build



only:
    - master
    - branches
 rules:
    - if: '$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH=="my-featured-branch"'
      when : never

CodePudding user response：

The error you're receiving is literally what it says: you shouldn't use only with rules together in the same job.

Basically the reason is that this could lead into problems due to mixed behavior.

From the documentation:

rules replaces only/except and they can’t be used together in the same job. If you configure one job to use both keywords, the GitLab returns a key may not be used with rules error.
