Path-filtering and pushing tag don't trigger any further workflow

This situation additionally described in following topics:

Dynamic continue config doesn't work with a tag filter

# config.yml version: 2.1 setup: true orbs: path-filtering: circleci/path-filtering@0.1.2 workflows: generate-config: jobs: - path-filtering/filter: mapping: | api/.* deploy-api true # continue_config.yml version: 2.1 parameters: deploy-api: default: false type: boolean workflows: deploy-api: when: << pipeline.parameters.deploy-api >> jobs: - deploy-api-job: filters: branches: ignore: /.*/ …

Can't trigger workflow on git tag push using when condition

+1 In my case I’m restricted to using workflow conditionals due to the requirements for path-filtering. Filters on jobs do not work in this case as path-filtering requires only a single workflow to be triggered. Sadly I am also struggling to get the matches or equal logical operator working against the pipeline.git.tag despite following examples & testing: # staging cicd-staging: when: matches: { pattern: '^v1.0.0-.+$', value: << pipeline.git.tag >> } jobs: - path-filter…

They are solved but these solutions doesn’t help me, so here is my story:
I want to run deployment workflow when i have a push to develop branch or i have a new tag pushed

starting config:

version: 2.1
setup: true
orbs:
  path-filtering: circleci/path-filtering@0.1.3

workflows:
  setup-workflow:
    jobs:
      - path-filtering/filter:
          base-revision: develop
          config-path: .circleci/base_config.yml
          mapping: |
            portal-api/.* portalApi true
            app-api/.* appApi true
          filters:
            tags:
              only: /.*/

base_config.yml:

version: 2.1

parameters:
  portalApi:
    type: boolean
    default: false
  appApi:
    type: boolean
    default: false
  commons:
    type: boolean
    default: false

jobs:
   test-job:
    docker:
      - image: someimage:latest
    working_directory: /root/project
    steps:
      - attach_workspace:
          at: /root
      - run:
          name: "test job to test tagging"
          command: echo "job for a tag << pipeline.git.tag >>"

workflows:
  deploy-test:
  when:
    or:
      - << pipeline.git.tag >>
  jobs:
    - test-job:
      filters:
        tags:
          only: /.*/

here is my result:

According to other topics, I enabled filters with tags.

Hello

When defining filters for tags you also need to define a filter for branches as well.

Please see the following code snippet which will resolve your issue

workflows:
  build_and_push_unstable:
    jobs:
      - path-filtering/filter:
            config-path: .circleci/base_config.yml
            filters:
              tags:
                only: /.*/
              branches:
                ignore: /.*/

Kind Regards

Yes, tags are ignored by default, only branches are acted upon by CircleCI. So you have to include them explicitly.

Hello, Thank you very much for the answer. I tried your solution.
The only thing happened is that now all workflows for branches have been filtered out,
but the workflow for tags(deploy-test) hasn’t even started. You can check screenshot in original post, filtering workflow is successfully finished, but then i expect deploy-test workflow to start
