Automation rules: How to chain rules with AND conditional?

[pllim]

So, if I want to skip RTD doc build if the commit message has either [skip docs] or [docs skip] in a commit message, how do I do it properly? I tried to have two separate rules like this but they don't work because I realized that they are evaluated serially, in order. My regex-fu is weak.

Alternately, it would be easier to pull off if you add a "do NOT trigger a build" action to the rules menu.

Any help or advise is much appreciated. Thanks for this very useful feature and for the dark mode!

We currently don't support chaining rules and "do not trigger a build"; but we considered it already.

For your particular use case, you can use a regex to match "[skip docs] or [docs skip] in a commit message":

\[(skip docs|docs skip)\]

I did a test at https://regex101.com/?regex=%5C%5B%28skip+docs%7Cdocs+skip%29%5C%5D&testString=I+want+to+%5Bskip+docs%5D+here%0ANo+skip+docs+here+--missing+%5B%5D%0A%5Bdocs+skip%5D+no+build+docs&flags=gm&flavor=pcre2&delimiter=%2F

Let me know if that works as you expected.

I don't think the pipe works for negative lookahead which is needed because there is no option for "do not trigger build" only "trigger build" on the menu.

I tried to expand this from official example:

^(?!.*\[skip docs\]).*

to

^(?!.*\[skip docs|docs skip\]).*

and your test cases broke on regex101

I'm tagging this issue as a feature so we implement this. It will make everything easier and less confusing here 😄
