Here’s my workflow: ``` # ____________ # __/ Workflows \_______________________________________________________________ workflows: version: 2 untaggedd: jobs: - latex: filters: tags: ignore: /.*/ tagged: jobs: - latex: filters: tags: only: /.*/ branches: ignore: /.*/ - publish-tag: requires: - latex filters: tags: only: /.*/ branches: ignore: /.*/ ``` I am expecting that if I have a tag, **only the tagged** workflow is executed. What is happening is: 1. Both of the workflows (tagged and untagged) are executed: _Why?_ 2. The tagged workflow fails with: That is mighty strange as it is the _exact same workflow that works fine in the untagged build_: same code. I am utterly baffled: _what am I doing wrong here?_ ---

This is the job that fails in tagged but works fine in untagged as defined above. ``` # ____________ # __/ Job: build \_____________________________________________________________ latex: docker: - image: ubuntu:latest steps: - attach_workspace: at: ~/ - checkout - run: name: Install LaTeX command: | DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update -y DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y \ texlive-full texlive-latex-extra make graphviz - run: name: LaTeX build via make. command: | cp ~/project/.circleci/latexmkrc ~/.latexmkrc make - store_artifacts: path: ~/project/build/ - persist_to_workspace: root: ~/ paths: - ./project/ ``` ---

I fixed that. Apparently `OpenSSH` and `git` are not necessarily pre-loaded. Fine. I added a step to install those. It is working. _The rest is still not working: on a tag, I get a tagged and untagged builds starting._ ---

Hi @yanngolanski! You haven’t mentioned what you’re pushing. Your `untagged` workflow’s job is configured to ignore all tags, but it’ll run in response to anything else you push. It might be helpful to know what git operations you’re running. ---

Thank you @thekatertot, I tend to do things like this: ``` git add .circleci/config.yml git commit -m 'CircleCI publish 4' git tag -a 'test' -m 'Testing CircleCI.' git push --tag git push ``` ---

Based on what you’ve provided this is some strange behavior. We’re going to have to investigate a little deeper. If you haven’t already, would you mind opening [a support ticket](https://support.circleci.com/hc/en-us/requests/new)? You can link to this thread. Support can dig into your actual account and workflows to better understand what’s going on. We’d really appreciate it! ---

Hi @yanngolanski, It looks like you have been caught out by the slight disconnect between `branch` and `tag` filters: if there are no branch filters, they will all build, while `tags` require explicit inclusion to build. See more at [Configuring CircleCI - CircleCI](https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/configuration-reference/#branches-1) Hope this helps, Stig ---
