How to promote a build to production without running all steps

Drone Support

I use drone to run featuretests, they take some time, multiple minutes.

When I promote a build with drone I don’t want to run those feature tests again.

In the docs there is a example on how to only run certain tasks when your promote a build, but how would I exclude certain tasks from running when for example event: deployment; environment: production.

What is the default environment?

Then I could define the feature tests to only run when environment is development.

for drone 1.0 you might be able to do something like this, which would run the step for all deployment events where the target environment is no production:

when:
  event: [ promote ]
  target:
    exclude: [ production ]
