How to run CI on gitlab.com with only and except condition?

favorite












I want to trigger a CI job for my repository which is hosted on Gitlab.com, when a new version is released. Versions are released by creating a (version) git tag that follows semantic versioning, e.g. v4.0.1 ...



In my .gitlab-ci.yml I am using:



release:
script: ...
only:
- /^v.*$/
except:
- branches
- triggers


and in my code I am doing:



git tag v4.0.2
git push origin v4.0.2


But the pipelines remain silent.



When removing the only and except conditionals every commit triggers a pipeline run - but this is not what I want.



What am I doing wrong?

          So If I understood correcly you want to execute your CI only for git tags.
          This can be done easily by using



          only:
          - tags@yourgroup/yourproject


          with this condition the gitlab CI will be triggered only for tags.
