Runner Exec - problem with routing

Drone Support
1

Tried to run build on multiple nodes with installed exec runners on each. When in pipeline ‘node’ section I specify only one single node, pipeline builds successfully. When specify another single node, pipeline also builds successfully. When I specify both of this nodes, build stuck in pending state.

So I think, this is not issue with connection between server and runners. Because each node alone works fine, they don’t work if are defined simultaneously. Maybe I just don’t understand exec runner principle and it could not be used in this way? (to run the same task on multiple hosts).

Also in documentation said: ‘The nodes section’ but in example below name of the key is ‘node:’ without ‘s’ at the end. With both variants result the same, pipeline stuck in pending state. But what syntax is correct to use?

My pipeline:

---
kind: pipeline
type: exec
name: deploy_nodes

clone:
  disable: true

trigger: 
  branch:
  - feature*

steps:
- name: run_puppet_agent
  commands:
  - bash -c 'sudo /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet agent --environment=${DRONE_BRANCH} -t || test $? -eq 2'

node:
  drone-exec: drone.west
  gitea-exec: gitea.west

the node section and the runner label must be an exact match. In this case, because your node section includes values from both runners, they do not exactly match a single runner. Partial matches are not supported.

I have pipeline writed on jsonnet to run the same code on several nodes and its work fine. But I thought, this can be possible with yml pipeline as well. Now I understand this is impossible. Will use jsonnet.

Thank you for clarification!
