Pipelines do not run when using `only:changes` and force pushing
Summary
When force pushing over the latest commit on a branch, pipelines fail to trigger when using only:changes
syntax.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a pipeline that uses
only:changes
. Example:
something:
stage: test
script: echo "I ran!"
only:
changes:
- "some_dir/**/*"
- Make a change in
some_dir
and push to a branch. The pipeline should run.
git checkout -b my-change
... Make some change. ...
git commit -m "Some change"
git push origin my-change
- Force push over the latest commit. The pipeline doesn't run again.
git commit --amend --no-edit
git push --force origin my-change
What is the current bug behavior?
The pipeline does not execute when force pushing.
What is the expected correct behavior?
The pipeline executes again.
