how to configure to run whole cirrus.yml tasks on master only (no executions on PRs)

[romani]

We want to not run cirrus in PRs as free quota is quickly exceeded. And we have bunch of PRs.
How to run only on master updated ? after merge of PR.
To make sure cirrus is not even visible in PR CIs.

You can put the following only_if statement in your .cirrus.yml:

# .cirrus.yml

only_if: $CIRRUS_BRANCH == $CIRRUS_DEFAULT_BRANCH

task1:
  ...

task2:
  ...

This way you'll pnly run tasks on the default branch (either master or main depending on your settings).

It makes

1 neutral checks

checkstyle/checkstyle#14691

Is there way to make it green or simply skip from CI?

[fkorotkov]

You can try skip instead of only_if. This way all the tasks will be in skipped status on PRs.

[romani]

It becomes

and 1 skipped checks

checkstyle/checkstyle#14692 (comment)

It will still force maintainers to scroll to see what is skipped.

Is there any other thoughts to not trigger registering in PR checklist?

[fkorotkov]

only_if should now work as you expect and not report anything unless there is a warning or an error

[romani]

It works https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/pull/14691/files thanks a lot for extremely quick fix.
