is it possible to not run on branch push pipeline when the latest push has a tag?

[Siddhant]

i am using a tag based release. When i want to release i tag the commit with release-${version} and push it. But doing so, causes two pipelines to run one for the push on master and another for the tag. is it possible to just run tag pipeline and not the push pipeline if the latest pushed commit has a tag.

Hi @Siddhant

Welcome to the community.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to stop a branch push trigger when there's a specific tag on a push.
As a workaround, you can add a script in the branch/default trigger that validates if a pushed commit has a specific tag.
Then return exit command to stop executing the build further.

pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        name: Default trigger
        script:
          - # validate if there's a tag then return exit to stop executing the build further
          - #Some scripts here
  tags:
    release-*:
      - step:
          name: Release
          script:
            - #Some scripts here

Hope it helps and do let me know if you have further questions that I can help with.

Thanks for replying.
This will definitely save some of the build minutes...
Btw, Is there any chance of this kind of feature being added in near future?
