I have read [Configuring CircleCI - CircleCI](https://circleci.com/docs/configuration-reference#logic-statement-examples) and I want to had a condition when the tag match a certain pattern to the logic statement:

- when `<< pipeline.git.branch >>` is `master` (current)  
OR
- if `<< pipeline.git.tag >>` is of pattern `/^(patch\/)?v.*/` or `/^hotfix-.*/`

This is our `.circleci.yml` conditions prior any modifications: [pass-culture-app-native/config.yml at master · pass-culture/pass-culture-app-native · GitHub](https://github.com/pass-culture/pass-culture-app-native/blob/master/.circleci/config.yml#L107-L115)

This is what I have tried:

```nohighlight
      - when:
          condition:
            or:
              - equal: ["master", << pipeline.git.branch >>]
              - matches:
                  pattern: /^(patch\/)?v.*/
                  value: << pipeline.git.tag >>

```

Circle-CI does not run the commands when doing the following:

```bash
git tag patch/v1.199.99
git push origin patch/v1.199.99

```

Condition doesn’t match when `<< pipeline.git.tag >>` is `patch/v1.199.99` and thus doesn’t run the pipeline, any clue what am I doing wrong here ?

This is how we did : [(PC-17580) ci(Patch): run unit tests on patch and hotfix by kopax-polyconseil · Pull Request #3604 · pass-culture/pass-culture-app-native · GitHub](https://github.com/pass-culture/pass-culture-app-native/pull/3604#issue-1383526470)

We needed to update the workflows to trigger on tags. I don’t know why… Can anybody hint us why?

Sorry for the late reply.

Circleci does not process tagged-based builds unless a filter is placed on a workflow job that first checks for a branch-based build - it is an odd issue and one that shows up in the forums again and again. So you need to add
