# Choose when to run jobs **(FREE)**
When a new pipeline starts, GitLab checks the pipeline configuration to determine
which jobs should run in that pipeline. You can configure jobs to run depending on
the status of variables, the pipeline type, and so on.
To configure a job to be included or excluded from certain pipelines, you can use:
- [`rules`](../yaml/README.md#rules)
- [`only`](../yaml/README.md#only--except)
- [`except`](../yaml/README.md#only--except)
Use [`needs`](../yaml/README.md#needs) to configure a job to run as soon as the
earlier jobs it depends on finish running.
## Specify when jobs run with `only` and `except`
You can use [`only`](../yaml/README.md#only--except) and [`except`](../yaml/README.md#only--except)
to control when to add jobs to pipelines.
- Use `only` to define when a job runs.
- Use `except` to define when a job **does not** run.
### `only:refs` / `except:refs` examples
`only` or `except` used without `refs` is the same as
[`only:refs` / `except/refs`](../yaml/README.md#onlyrefs--exceptrefs)
In the following example, `job` runs only for:
- Git tags
- [Triggers](../triggers/README.md#trigger-token)
- [Scheduled pipelines](../pipelines/schedules.md)
```yaml
job:
# use special keywords
only:
- tags
- triggers
- schedules
```
To execute jobs only for the parent repository and not forks:
```yaml
job:
only:
- branches@gitlab-org/gitlab
except:
- main@gitlab-org/gitlab
- /^release/.*$/@gitlab-org/gitlab
```
This example runs `job` for all branches on `gitlab-org/gitlab`,
except `main` and branches that start with `release/`.
### `only: variables` / `except: variables` examples
You can use `except:variables` to exclude jobs based on a commit message:
```yaml
end-to-end:
script: rake test:end-to-end
except:
variables:
- $CI_COMMIT_MESSAGE =~ /skip-end-to-end-tests/
```
You can use [parentheses](../variables/README.md#parentheses) with `&&` and `||`
to build more complicated variable expressions:
```yaml
job1:
script:
- echo This rule uses parentheses.
only:
variables:
- ($CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "master" || $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "develop") && $MY_VARIABLE
```
### `only:changes` / `except:changes` examples
You can skip a job if a change is detected in any file with a
`.md` extension in the root directory of the repository:
```yaml
build:
script: npm run build
except:
changes:
- "*.md"
```
If you change multiple files, but only one file ends in `.md`,
the `build` job is still skipped. The job does not run for any of the files.
Read more about how to use `only:changes` and `except:changes`:
- [New branches or tags *without* pipelines for merge requests](#use-onlychanges-without-pipelines-for-merge-requests).
- [Scheduled pipelines](#use-onlychanges-with-scheduled-pipelines).
#### Use `only:changes` with pipelines for merge requests
With [pipelines for merge requests](../merge_request_pipelines/index.md),
it's possible to define a job to be created based on files modified
in a merge request.
Use this keyword with `only: [merge_requests]` so GitLab can find the correct base
SHA of the source branch. File differences are correctly calculated from any further
commits, and all changes in the merge requests are properly tested in pipelines.
For example:
```yaml
docker build service one:
script: docker build -t my-service-one-image:$CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG .
only:
refs:
- merge_requests
changes:
- Dockerfile
- service-one/**/*
```
In this scenario, if a merge request changes
files in the `service-one` directory or the `Dockerfile`, GitLab creates
the `docker build service one` job.
For example:
```yaml
docker build service one:
script: docker build -t my-service-one-image:$CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG .
only:
changes:
- Dockerfile
- service-one/**/*
```
In this example, the pipeline might fail because of changes to a file in `service-one/**/*`.
A later commit that doesn't have changes in `service-one/**/*`
but does have changes to the `Dockerfile` can pass. The job
only tests the changes to the `Dockerfile`.
GitLab checks the **most recent pipeline** that **passed**. If the merge request is mergeable,
it doesn't matter that an earlier pipeline failed because of a change that has not been corrected.
When you use this configuration, ensure that the most recent pipeline
properly corrects any failures from previous pipelines.
#### Use `only:changes` without pipelines for merge requests
Without [pipelines for merge requests](../merge_request_pipelines/index.md), pipelines
run on branches or tags that don't have an explicit association with a merge request.
In this case, a previous SHA is used to calculate the diff, which is equivalent to `git diff HEAD~`.
This can result in some unexpected behavior, including:
- When pushing a new branch or a new tag to GitLab, the policy always evaluates to true.
- When pushing a new commit, the changed files are calculated by using the previous commit
as the base SHA.
#### Use `only:changes` with scheduled pipelines
`only:changes` always evaluates as true in [Scheduled pipelines](../pipelines/schedules.md).
All files are considered to have changed when a scheduled pipeline runs.
### Combine multiple keywords with `only` or `except`
If you use multiple keywords with `only` or `except`, the keywords are evaluated
as a single conjoined expression. That is:
- `only:` includes the job if **all** of the keys have at least one condition that matches.
- `except:` excludes the job if **any** of the keys have at least one condition that matches.
With `only`, individual keys are logically joined by an `AND`. A job is added to
the pipeline if the following is true:
- `(any listed refs are true) AND (any listed variables are true) AND (any listed changes are true) AND (any chosen Kubernetes status matches)`
In the following example, the `test` job is only created when **all** of the following are true:
- The pipeline is [scheduled](../pipelines/schedules.md) **or** runs for `main`.
- The `variables` keyword matches.
- The `kubernetes` service is active on the project.
```yaml
test:
script: npm run test
only:
refs:
- main
- schedules
variables:
- $CI_COMMIT_MESSAGE =~ /run-end-to-end-tests/
kubernetes: active
```
With `except`, individual keys are logically joined by an `OR`. A job is **not**
added if the following is true:
- `(any listed refs are true) OR (any listed variables are true) OR (any listed changes are true) OR (a chosen Kubernetes status matches)`
In the following example, the `test` job is **not** created when **any** of the following are true:
- The pipeline runs for the `main` branch.
- There are changes to the `README.md` file in the root directory of the repository.
```yaml
test:
script: npm run test
except:
refs:
- main
changes:
- "README.md"
```
## Regular expressions
The `@` symbol denotes the beginning of a ref's repository path.
To match a ref name that contains the `@` character in a regular expression,
you must use the hex character code match `\x40`.
Only the tag or branch name can be matched by a regular expression.
The repository path, if given, is always matched literally.
To match the tag or branch name,
the entire ref name part of the pattern must be a regular expression surrounded by `/`.
For example, you can't use `issue-/.*/` to match all tag names or branch names
that begin with `issue-`, but you can use `/issue-.*/`.
Regular expression flags must be appended after the closing `/`. Pattern matching
is case-sensitive by default. Use the `i` flag modifier, like `/pattern/i`, to make
a pattern case-insensitive:
```yaml
job:
# use regexp
only:
- /^issue-.*$/i
# use special keyword
except:
- branches
```
Use anchors `^` and `$` to avoid the regular expression
matching only a substring of the tag name or branch name.
For example, `/^issue-.*$/` is equivalent to `/^issue-/`,
while just `/issue/` would also match a branch called `severe-issues`.
### `only` / `except` regex syntax
In GitLab 11.9.4, GitLab began internally converting the regexp used
in `only` and `except` keywords to [RE2](https://github.com/google/re2/wiki/Syntax).
[RE2](https://github.com/google/re2/wiki/Syntax) limits the set of available features
due to computational complexity, and some features, like negative lookaheads, became unavailable.
Only a subset of features provided by [Ruby Regexp](https://ruby-doc.org/core/Regexp.html)
are now supported.
From GitLab 11.9.7 to GitLab 12.0, GitLab provided a feature flag to
let you use unsafe regexp syntax. After migrating to safe syntax, you should disable
this feature flag again:
```ruby
Feature.enable(:allow_unsafe_ruby_regexp)
```

`only` and `except` are not being actively developed. To define when `only` and `except` are not being actively developed. [`rules`](#rules) is the preferred
to add jobs to pipelines, use [`rules`](#rules). keyword to control when to add jobs to pipelines.
`only` and `except` are two keywords that determine when to add jobs to pipelines: You can use `only` and `except` to control when to add jobs to pipelines.
1. `only` defines the names of branches and tags the job runs for. - Use `only` to define when a job runs.
1. `except` defines the names of branches and tags the job does - Use `except` to define when a job **does not** run.
**not** run for.
A few rules apply to the usage of job policy: Four keywords can be used with `only` and `except`:
- `only` and `except` are inclusive. If both `only` and `except` are defined - [`refs`](#onlyrefs--exceptrefs)
in a job specification, the ref is filtered by `only` and `except`. - [`variables`](#onlyvariables--exceptvariables)
- `only` and `except` can use regular expressions ([supported regexp syntax](#supported-onlyexcept-regexp-syntax)). - [`changes`](#onlychanges--exceptchanges)
- `only` and `except` can specify a repository path to filter jobs for forks. - [`kubernetes`](#onlykubernetes--exceptkubernetes)
In addition, `only` and `except` can use these keywords: See [control jobs with `only` and `except`](../jobs/job_control.md#specify-when-jobs-run-with-only-and-except)
for more details and examples.

- Git tags **Example of `only:refs` and `except:refs`**:
- [Triggers](../triggers/README.md#trigger-token)
- [Scheduled pipelines](../pipelines/schedules.md)
```yaml
job:
# use special keywords
only:
- tags
- triggers
- schedules
```
To execute jobs only for the parent repository and not forks:
```yaml
job:
only:
- branches@gitlab-org/gitlab
except:
- master@gitlab-org/gitlab
- /^release/.*$/@gitlab-org/gitlab
```
This example runs `job` for all branches on `gitlab-org/gitlab`,
except `master` and branches that start with `release/`.
If a job does not have an `only` rule, `only: ['branches', 'tags']` is set by
default. If the job does not have an `except` rule, it's empty.
For example, `job1` and `job2` are essentially the same:
```yaml ```yaml
job1: job1:
script: echo 'test' script: echo
job2:
script: echo 'test'
only: ['branches', 'tags']
```
#### Regular expressions
The `@` symbol denotes the beginning of a ref's repository path.
To match a ref name that contains the `@` character in a regular expression,
you must use the hex character code match `\x40`.
Only the tag or branch name can be matched by a regular expression.
The repository path, if given, is always matched literally.
To match the tag or branch name,
the entire ref name part of the pattern must be a regular expression surrounded by `/`.
For example, you can't use `issue-/.*/` to match all tag names or branch names
that begin with `issue-`, but you can use `/issue-.*/`.
Regular expression flags must be appended after the closing `/`.
NOTE:
Use anchors `^` and `$` to avoid the regular expression
matching only a substring of the tag name or branch name.
For example, `/^issue-.*$/` is equivalent to `/^issue-/`,
while just `/issue/` would also match a branch called `severe-issues`.
#### Supported `only`/`except` regexp syntax
In GitLab 11.9.4, GitLab began internally converting the regexp used
in `only` and `except` keywords to [RE2](https://github.com/google/re2/wiki/Syntax).
[RE2](https://github.com/google/re2/wiki/Syntax) limits the set of available features
due to computational complexity, and some features, like negative lookaheads, became unavailable.
Only a subset of features provided by [Ruby Regexp](https://ruby-doc.org/core/Regexp.html)
are now supported.
From GitLab 11.9.7 to GitLab 12.0, GitLab provided a feature flag to
let you use unsafe regexp syntax. After migrating to safe syntax, you should disable
this feature flag again:
```ruby
Feature.enable(:allow_unsafe_ruby_regexp)
```
### `only`/`except` (advanced)
GitLab supports multiple strategies, and it's possible to use an
array or a hash configuration scheme.
Four keys are available:
- `refs`
- `variables`
- `changes`
- `kubernetes`
If you use multiple keys under `only` or `except`, the keys are evaluated as a
single conjoined expression. That is:
- `only:` includes the job if **all** of the keys have at least one condition that matches.
- `except:` excludes the job if **any** of the keys have at least one condition that matches.
With `only`, individual keys are logically joined by an `AND`. A job is added to
the pipeline if the following is true:
- `(any listed refs are true) AND (any listed variables are true) AND (any listed changes are true) AND (any chosen Kubernetes status matches)`
In the following example, the `test` job is `only` created when **all** of the following are true:
- The pipeline is [scheduled](../pipelines/schedules.md) **or** runs for `master`.
- The `variables` keyword matches.
- The `kubernetes` service is active on the project.
```yaml
test:
script: npm run test
only: only:
refs: - main
- master - /^issue-.*$/
- schedules - merge_requests
variables:
- $CI_COMMIT_MESSAGE =~ /run-end-to-end-tests/
kubernetes: active
```
With `except`, individual keys are logically joined by an `OR`. A job is **not**
added if the following is true:
- `(any listed refs are true) OR (any listed variables are true) OR (any listed changes are true) OR (a chosen Kubernetes status matches)`
In the following example, the `test` job is **not** created when **any** of the following are true:
- The pipeline runs for the `master` branch.
- There are changes to the `README.md` file in the root directory of the repository.
```yaml job2:
test: script: echo
script: npm run test
except: except:
refs: - main
- master - /^stable-branch.*$/
changes: - schedules
- "README.md"
``` ```
#### `only:refs`/`except:refs` **Additional details:**
> `refs` policy introduced in GitLab 10.0.
The `refs` strategy can take the same values as the
[simplified only/except configuration](#onlyexcept-basic).
In the following example, the `deploy` job is created only when the - Scheduled pipelines run on specific branches, so jobs configured with `only: branches`
pipeline is [scheduled](../pipelines/schedules.md) or runs for the `master` branch: run on scheduled pipelines too. Add `except: schedules` to prevent jobs with `only: branches`
from running on scheduled pipelines.
- `only` or `except` used without any other keywords are equivalent to `only: refs`
or `except: refs`. For example, the following two jobs configurations have the same
behavior:
```yaml ```yaml
deploy: job1:
only: script: echo
refs: only:
- master - branches
- schedules
```
#### `only:kubernetes`/`except:kubernetes` job2:
script: echo
only:
refs:
- branches
```
> `kubernetes` policy introduced in GitLab 10.0. - If a job does not use `only`, `except`, or [`rules`](#rules), then `only` is set to `branches`
and `tags` by default.
The `kubernetes` strategy accepts only the `active` keyword. For example, `job1` and `job2` are equivalent:
In the following example, the `deploy` job is created only when the ```yaml
Kubernetes service is active in the project: job1:
script: echo 'test'
```yaml job2:
deploy: script: echo 'test'
only: only:
kubernetes: active - branches
``` - tags
```
#### `only:variables`/`except:variables` #### `only:variables` / `except:variables`
> `variables` policy introduced in GitLab 10.7. Use the `only:variables` or `except:variables` keywords to control when to add jobs
to a pipeline, based on the status of [CI/CD variables](../variables/README.md).
The `variables` keyword defines variable expressions. **Keyword type**: Job keyword. You can use it only as part of a job.
These expressions determine whether or not a job should be created. **Possible inputs**: An array of [CI/CD variable expressions](../variables/README.md#cicd-variable-expressions).
Examples of variable expressions: **Example of `only:variables`**:
```yaml ```yaml
deploy: deploy:
script: cap staging deploy script: cap staging deploy
only: only:
refs:
- branches
variables: variables:
- $RELEASE == "staging" - $RELEASE == "staging"
- $STAGING - $STAGING
``` ```
Another use case is excluding jobs depending on a commit message: **Related topics**:
```yaml - [`only:variables` and `except:variables` examples](../jobs/job_control.md#only-variables--except-variables-examples).
end-to-end:
script: rake test:end-to-end
except:
variables:
- $CI_COMMIT_MESSAGE =~ /skip-end-to-end-tests/
```
You can use [parentheses](../variables/README.md#parentheses) with `&&` and `||` to build more complicated variable expressions. #### `only:changes` / `except:changes`
[Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/230938) in GitLab 13.3:
```yaml > [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/19232) in GitLab 11.4.
job1:
script:
- echo This rule uses parentheses.

##### Use `only:changes` with pipelines for merge requests **Keyword type**: Job-specific. You can use it only as part of a job.
With [pipelines for merge requests](../merge_request_pipelines/index.md), **Possible inputs**: The `kubernetes` strategy accepts only the `active` keyword.
it's possible to define a job to be created based on files modified
in a merge request.
Use this keyword with `only: [merge_requests]` so GitLab can find the correct base Example of `only:kubernetes`:
SHA of the source branch. File differences are correctly calculated from any further
commits, and all changes in the merge requests are properly tested in pipelines.
For example:
```yaml ```yaml
docker build service one: deploy:
script: docker build -t my-service-one-image:$CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG .
only:
refs:
- merge_requests
changes:
- Dockerfile
- service-one/**/*
```
In this scenario, if a merge request changes
files in the `service-one` directory or the `Dockerfile`, GitLab creates
the `docker build service one` job.
For example:
```yaml
docker build service one:
script: docker build -t my-service-one-image:$CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG .
only: only:
changes: kubernetes: active
- Dockerfile
- service-one/**/*
``` ```
In this example, the pipeline might fail because of changes to a file in `service-one/**/*`. In this example, the `deploy` job runs only when the Kubernetes service is active
in the project.
A later commit that doesn't have changes in `service-one/**/*`
but does have changes to the `Dockerfile` can pass. The job
only tests the changes to the `Dockerfile`.
GitLab checks the **most recent pipeline** that **passed**. If the merge request is mergeable,
it doesn't matter that an earlier pipeline failed because of a change that has not been corrected.
When you use this configuration, ensure that the most recent pipeline
properly corrects any failures from previous pipelines.
##### Use `only:changes` without pipelines for merge requests
Without [pipelines for merge requests](../merge_request_pipelines/index.md), pipelines
run on branches or tags that don't have an explicit association with a merge request.
In this case, a previous SHA is used to calculate the diff, which is equivalent to `git diff HEAD~`.
This can result in some unexpected behavior, including:
- When pushing a new branch or a new tag to GitLab, the policy always evaluates to true.
- When pushing a new commit, the changed files are calculated by using the previous commit
as the base SHA.
##### Use `only:changes` with scheduled pipelines
`only:changes` always evaluates as true in [Scheduled pipelines](../pipelines/schedules.md).
All files are considered to have changed when a scheduled pipeline runs.
