Summary

(Summarize the bug encountered concisely)

MR should check both "non-merge-request pipeline" and "merge-request pipeline".

Steps to reproduce

(How one can reproduce the issue - this is very important)

I have two jobs in my GitLab CI: check_mr and build_docker_image. I want to:

1. Every push will build an image. So I add build_docker_image
2. A MR can only be merged if both two jobs are successful.

And here is my .gitlab-ci.yml:

check_mr:
  image: python:3.7-stretch
  only:
    # some environment variables are only available in a "merge-request pipeline"
    - merge_requests
  script:
    - python check_mr.py --targe ${CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_NAME} --source ${CI_MERGE_REQUEST_SOURCE_BRANCH_NAME}

build_docker_image:
  image: docker:latest
  only:
    # Every push should build a image
    - branches
    # Check this job in MRs
    - merge_requests
  script:
    - echo 'build_docker_image'

If a branch has a MR, every push to this branch will run build_docker_image twice.

What is the current bug behavior?

(What actually happens)

MR don't check "non-merge-request pipeline" if a "merge-request pipeline" exists.

What is the expected correct behavior?

(What you should see instead)

MR should check "non-merge-request pipeline" so that I don't have to run build_docker_image twice.

Maybe some UI like below.
