When condition inside orb job

Ecosystem Orbs

Hi there

I’m trying to add some conditional steps to one of the jobs inside our reusable Orb.

Currently, I’ve got this in my steps: section:

  - run:
      name: Check param
      command: |
        echo "Branch = << parameters.branch >>"
        echo "Circle branch = ${CIRCLE_BRANCH}"
  - when:
      condition:
        matches:
          pattern: /^release.*$/
          value: << parameters.branch >>
      steps:
        - run:
            name: Got to RC condition
            command: |
              echo "I'm a release branch!!!"

I’ve tried various combinations of both the pattern and value, including using $CIRCLE_BRANCH env, using parameters.branch, making the branch param an env_var_name type.

However none of them seem to work…

The check param step correctly outputs the values I’d expect for both the param and the env var:

Branch = release/0.0.1
Circle branch = release/0.0.1

Any suggestions on how I can get this to work in an Orb?

Thanks
Gavin
