Rules changes with CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE does not work

I am trying to limit gitlab to run a job only when the trigger is a merge request or subsequent pushes to the source branch.

Below is my gitlab-ci yaml enter image description here

But even if i change gilab-ci.yaml the pipeline triggers, also it runs when i change the test-file.sh file inside awe/src/.

I tried it to trigger a downstream-pipeline using these rules, it didn’t work. I also tried to run a local script as well. But no luck.

The rules config

enter image description here

I also tried to add the source as push event since sometimes the subsequent commits to a branch with an active MR is treated as push event

In all scenarios, the pipeline triggers everytime i make a change, irrespective of whether the change is made to the folder specified or not. Any help will be appreciated

To limit the execution to only certain scenarios like push or merge request you need to add an if condition:

rules:
    - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == 'merge_request_event'

One thing to be aware of is that you cannot mix only and rules in the same job, as the docs state

rules replaces only/except and they can’t be used together in the same job. If you configure one job to use both keywords, the GitLab returns a key may not be used with rules error.

Refer to this link for a commonly used set of rules that is provided in the documentation and may be helpful for you.
