GitLab CI Pipeline on specific branch only

Question

I'm trying to implement GitLab CI Pipelines to build and deploy an Angular app. In our project we have two general branches: master (for production only) and develop. For development we create feature/some-feature branches from develop branch. When development finished, we create merge request from feature/some-feature to develop. When merge request approved and merged into develop branch I want to run a Pipeline in order to build application and deploy the build on some environment.

I use the following setup in .gitlab-ci.yml:

image: node:7.5-configured  stages:     - build     - deploy  build_job:     stage: build     only:         - develop     script:         - /bin/bash <some script here>  ... 

The problem is that Pipeline executed every time I push into any feature/some-feature branch. What's wrong with my setup? How can I force the Pipeline to be executed only when push performed into develop branch directly?

Solution It was my mistake - I had two different .gitlab-ci.yml files in develop branch and feature/some-feature branch.

Answer 1

It was my mistake - I had two different .gitlab-ci.yml files in develop branch and feature/some-feature branch and that's why the Pipeline was executed for all branches.
