gitlab-ci.yml jobs:build-production config key may not be used with `rules`: only

I am having a syntax error when I test my gitlab-ci.yml in CI Lint. Can someone suggest a solution to this problem?

build-production:
  stage: build
  only:
    - master
  image:
    name: gcr.io/kaniko-project/executor:debug
    entrypoint: [""]
  script:
    - mkdir -p /kaniko/.docker
    - echo "{\"auths\":{\"$CI_REGISTRY\":{\"username\":\"$CI_REGISTRY_USER\",\"password\":\"$CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD\"}}}" > /kaniko/.docker/config.json
    - /kaniko/executor --context $CI_PROJECT_DIR --dockerfile $CI_PROJECT_DIR/Dockerfile --destination $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$CI_COMMIT_TAG
  rules:
    - if: $CI_COMMIT_TAG

Status: syntax is incorrect

Solution

  • Documentation is pretty clear :

    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 linter returns a key may not be used with rules error.

    I suggest to use rules: for both of your conditions :

    rules:
  - if: '$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME == "master" && $CI_COMMIT_TAG'
