GitLab Next

Summary

By default, jobs should only run if all jobs in the previous stage were successful. However, if the previous stage only contains a job with the when: manual directive, jobs in the subsequent stage run immediately, before completion or even commencement of the manual job . This appears to be a bug and is certainly new behaviour.

Steps to reproduce

.gitlab-ci.yml:

before_script:
  - echo "before_script"
  
stages:
 - Build
 - Test

Build:
  stage: Build
  script:
    - echo "Build"
  when: manual

Test:
  stage: Test
  script:
   - echo "Test"

Expected behavior

Job Test in stage Test should not start until job Build in stage Build is manually triggered and completes successfully.

Actual behavior

Job Test starts immediately.
