[SOLVED] Build runs even when the reason is explicitly excluded

Drone Support

Hey there,
I’m running into a little issue I can’t figure out. I’ve got a repository which should only run on tag, so I did as per the triggers documentation.

triggers:
    event:
    - tag

This didn’t exactly work, the build was still triggered on a push event, so changed it to:

triggers:
  event:
    include:
    - tag
    exclude:
    - push

as to explicitly disable push events, this didn’t work either so I changed it to:

triggers:
  event:
    include:
    - tag
    exclude:
    - push
  branch:
    exclude:
    - '*'

Which also does not work. The build is still being run on a commit.
After looking at the build info, I tried excluding the ref:

triggers:
  event:
    include:
    - tag
    exclude:
    - push
  branch:
    exclude:
    - '*'
  ref:
    exclude:
    - ref/heads/*

This didn’t work either.
Honestly I’m completely lost at this point.

Here’s my build info:

Any help would be appreciated!

there is a typo in your yaml:

-triggers:
+trigger:
  event:
  - tag

Yep that was it!

Thank you so much! I wouldn’t have spotted it :smiley:
