The docs for the manifest plugin list tags as an optional setting for manifest (not spec) mode. And if I’m reading the code correctly, it seems that a tags setting and/or a .tags file would be read by the plugin.
My expectation would be that either of these would add onto the list of tags specified by the target setting. However, it seems both tags setting and .tags file are ignored.
Example sanitized .drone.yml:
---
kind: pipeline
type: docker
name: publish amd64 image
# default autoscaler node is arm64
steps:
- name: publish app image
image: plugins/docker
settings:
dockerfile: Dockerfile
registry: our.private.registry
repo: our.private.registry/this-thing
tags:
- build-${DRONE_STAGE_OS}-${DRONE_STAGE_ARCH}-${DRONE_BUILD_NUMBER}
depends_on: []
---
kind: pipeline
type: docker
name: publish arm64 image
node:
arch: arm64
platform:
os: linux
arch: arm64

- ${DRONE_COMMIT_SHA:0:8}
platforms:

depends_on:
- publish amd64 image
- publish arm64 image
I’ve also tried generating a .tags file for the publish manifest.publish step. The results are the same either way:
latest: Pulling from plugins/manifest
Digest: sha256:...
Status: Image is up to date for plugins/manifest:latest
2022/06/22 16:47:14 pushing our.private.registry/this-thing:build-OS-ARCH-33 to our.private.registry/this-thing:build-33 linux/arm64, linux/amd64
Digest: sha256:... ...
The additional tags are not pushed to our docker registry.
