I have a pipeline setup to do a automated release when I commit to a specific branch. The problem is that maven-release-plugin that I use commit its changes to the same repository and branch. This triggers the same pipeline and creates a loop.
How to exclude sertain commits for a specific branch?
- step:
name: TEST01 - Automatic build and test
caches:
- maven
script:
# Here I would like to add a check to stop if some criteria is met like commitmessage==[maven-release-plugin] or something similar
- mvn release:clean release:prepare --batch-mode -f ggw- core/pom.xml -s ggw-core/external/settings-test01.xml
- mvn release:perform -f ggw-core/pom.xml -s ggw-core/external/settings-test01.xml -X -e
Got the answer from the Atlassian team a quick and to the point answer! :)
Just add the flag -DscmCommentPrefix="[skip ci]" as shown below and maven-release-plugin will ignore the additional commits.
- mvn -batch-mode release:prepare -DscmCommentPrefix="[skip ci]"
