### `rules`
Using `rules` allows for a list of individual rule objects to be evaluated
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/29011) in GitLab 12.3.
`rules` allows for a list of individual rule objects to be evaluated
*in order*, until one matches and dynamically provides attributes to the job.
Available rule clauses include:
- `if` (similar to [`only:variables`](#onlyvariablesexceptvariables)).
- `changes` (same as [`only:changes`](#onlychangesexceptchanges)).
- [`if`](#rulesif)
(similar to [`only:variables`](#onlyvariablesexceptvariables)).
- [`changes`](#ruleschanges)
(same as [`only:changes`](#onlychangesexceptchanges)).
For example, using `if`:
For example, using `if`. This configuration specifies that `job` should be built
and run for every pipeline on merge requests targeting `master`, regardless of
the status of other builds:
```yaml
job:
script: "echo Hello, Rules!"
rules:
- if: '$CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH == "master"' # This rule will be evaluated
- if: '$CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH == "master"'
when: always
- if: '$VAR =~ /pattern/' # This rule will only be evaluated if the first does not match
- if: '$VAR =~ /pattern/'
when: manual
- when: on_success # A Rule entry with no conditional clauses evaluates to true. If neither of the first two Rules match, this one will and set job:when to "on_success"
- when: on_success
```
If the first rule does not match, further rules will be evaluated sequentially
until a match is found. The above configuration will specify that `job` should
be built and run for every pipeline on merge requests targeting `master`,
regardless of the status of other builds.
In this example, if the first rule:
- Matches, the job will be given the `when:always` attribute.
- Does not match, the second and third rules will be evaluated sequentially
until a match is found. That is, the job will be given either the:
- `when: manual` attribute if the second rule matches.
- `when: on_success` attribute if the second rule does not match. The third
rule will always match when reached because it has no conditional clauses.

To conjoin `if` and `changes` clauses with an AND, use them in the same rule.

The only clauses currently available are `if` and `changes`. Keywords such as
`branches` or `refs` that are currently available for `only`/`except` are not
yet available in `rules` as they are being individually considered for their
usage and behavior in the newer context.

#### Permitted attributes
The only job attributes currently set by `rules` are `when` and `start_in`, if
`when` is set to `delayed`. A job will be included in a pipeline if `when` is
evaluated to any value except `never`.
The only job attributes currently set by `rules` are:
Delayed jobs require a `start_in` value, so rule objects do as well. For example:
