Is there an AND option on the rules condition in .gitlab-ci.yml?

Question

I want to create some nested conditions: i need this pipeline to work when it is a merge or merge request and with certain name start "feature". So, is there an AND condition in the 'only' option for jobs?

Answer 1

No there is not. You must use rules.

test:
  stage: test
  script:
    - echo "test"
  rules:
    - if: '$CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event" && $CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TITLE =~ /^feature/'

While you can have multiple if statements. Combined with when, right? – Mallen

Is multiline possible so the && chain stays readable? – Jameljamerson

@Jameljamerson as far as I know that's unfortunately not possible. Multiline commands can only be used in script, before_script and after_script – Bledsoe

@Jameljamerson - whiel you can't have them "chained" with the - > or - | (multiline) you can use brackets such as ( condition1 && condition2 && condition3 ) and put each condition in new line. Keep in mind that each line has to be indented correctly, which you can verify using the pipeline editor. See such example here. – Hagiographer

Answer 2

There's another operator that the AND operator. You can replace the AND in your the gitlab-ci.yml file with the && operator. That's how we make it !
