The following if statement is not working.

    if: github.ref == 'ref/head/release/*' || contains(github.ref, '/tags/release')

Everything else runs but the if does not. my branch is called release/test It should run when it sees the branch release with anything following that in the. name.

Anyone know why the if statement is not running.

CodePudding user response：

When you use github.ref == 'ref/head/release/*', you ask to Github to match exactly with branch called release/*', no manipulation over * is applied.

If you want to match any branch prefixed with release/, you need to use the built-in function startsWith

release:
  if: startsWith(github.ref, 'ref/head/release/') || contains(github.ref, '/tags/release')
  steps: []

See you on the workflow :)
