I am creating a pipeline for a gitlab repo that will have 4 jobs, each job will run depending on which sub-directory in the root directory was changed. The pipeline will run on every merge request created and committed to.
I have followed the gitlab documentation and any other source I could find, but I just cannot get it to work. I would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.
I the following yml configuration it will run all 5 jobs on every merge request regardless of what was changed or even if anything was changed.
image: node
stages:
- test
job1:
stage: test
script:
- cd dir1
- yarn test:ci
rules:
- if: '$CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event"'
changes:
- dir1/**/*.js
job2:
stage: test
script:
- cd dir2
- yarn test:ci
rules:
- if: '$CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event"'
changes:
- dir2/**/*.js
job3:
stage: test
script:
- cd dir3
- yarn test:ci
rules:
- if: '$CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event"'
changes:
- dir3/**/*.js
job4:
stage: test
script:
- cd dir4
- yarn test:ci
rules:
- if: '$CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event"'
changes:
- dir4/**/*.js
job5:
stage: test
script:
- cd dir5
- yarn test:ci
rules:
- if: '$CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event"'
changes:
