Gitlab-ci.yml Configuration

I want to run job only when there is merge request to specific branch. I configure .gitlab-ci.yml file as follow 

stages:
  - test
  - deploy

test:
  stage: test
  only: 
  - develop
  - merge_requests

deploy:
  stage: deploy
  only: 
  - master
  - merge_requests

This will even run job deploy when merge request is for develop branch. How can I configure gitlab-ci.yml file so that when there is merge request for develop, test job will run and when there is merge request for master, deploy job will run.

You can use rules for this case, by making gitlab-ci execute the job when there is a merge request targeting a specific branch like below

stages:
  - test
  - deploy

test:
  stage: test
  rules:
    - if: '$CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_NAME == "develop"'
      when: always

deploy:
  stage: deploy
  rules:
    - if: '$CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_NAME == "master"'
      when: always

try changing merge_request to merge_requests. The docs suggest using merge_requests, so I feel a typo is what is causing this issue for you.
