# Goal I’m aiming for a build matrix like this: ```auto Test stage: 1 Primary tests MY_VAR=abc 2 Primary tests MY_VAR=def 3 Other tests Docker build & push stage: 4 Build & publish docker images ``` It doesn’t matter if there’s a `MY_VAR` for jobs 3 or 4. # Without `name:` I’ve got it working with a [`.travis.yml` something like this](https://github.com/hugovk/test/blob/f5e9945e408737ae39dc91d141979309bc086810/.travis.yml) (the real one is in a private repo): ```auto language: php services: - mysql - docker php: - 7.3 matrix: fast_finish: true env: global: - COMPOSER_BIN=$TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR/vendor/bin - BLT_DIR=$TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR/vendor/acquia/blt - BUILD_DIR=$TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR - SIMPLETEST_DB=mysql://drupal:drupal@localhost/drupal - SIMPLETEST_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8888 - SYMFONY_DEPRECATIONS_HELPER=weak - SERVICE_NAME=$(basename $TRAVIS_REPO_SLUG) - NGINX_DOCKER_IMAGE=$SERVICE_NAME-nginx:$VERSION_NUMBER - PHP_DOCKER_IMAGE=$SERVICE_NAME:$VERSION_NUMBER - PATH=~/bin:$PATH matrix: - MY_VAR=abc - MY_VAR=xyz jdk: - oraclejdk8 cache: bundler: true apt: true pip: true directories: - "$HOME/.composer/cache" - "$HOME/.drush/cache" - "$HOME/.npm" - "$HOME/.nvm" - ".rules" addons: ssh_known_hosts: # - svn-4786.devcloud.hosting.acquia.com chrome: stable before_install: - echo "Primary tests" - echo before_install - echo before_install - echo before_install - echo before_install - echo before_install - echo before_install stage: "Test" install: - echo "Primary tests" - echo install - echo install - echo install script: - echo "Primary tests" - echo script - echo script - echo script - echo script - echo script - echo script - echo script - echo script - echo script - echo script - echo script - echo script - echo script after_success: - echo "Primary tests" - echo after_success - echo after_success - echo after_success - echo after_success - echo after_success - echo after_success - echo after_success - echo after_success - echo after_success jobs: include: - stage: "Test" install: - echo "Secondary tests" - echo install script: - echo "Secondary tests" - echo script - echo script - echo script after_success: # Don't inherit global after_success - echo "" - stage: "Docker build & push" before_install: - echo "Build & publish Docker images" - echo before_install - echo before_install - echo before_install script: - echo "Build & publish Docker images" - echo script - echo script ``` ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/travis_ci/original/2X/c/cae6fb6e09557bb80a352b66ee0b928a2444ecef.png) [https://travis-ci.org/hugovk/test/builds/518681981](https://travis-ci.org/hugovk/test/builds/518681981) # With `name:` However, if I [add `name:` values](https://github.com/hugovk/test/commit/a957c09179f2d259264a469b6338368e04e5e5d2) for clarity in the UI: ```diff .travis.yml | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/.travis.yml b/.travis.yml index c047d5a..78d56bd 100644 --- a/.travis.yml +++ b/.travis.yml @@ -55,6 +55,7 @@ before_install: - echo before_install stage: "Test" +name: "Primary tests" install: - echo "Primary tests" - echo install @@ -92,6 +93,7 @@ after_success: jobs: include: - stage: "Test" + - name: "Secondary tests" install: - echo "Secondary tests" - echo install @@ -107,6 +109,7 @@ jobs: - echo "" - stage: "Docker build & push" + name: "Build & publish Docker images" before_install: - echo "Build & publish Docker images" - echo before_install -- 2.21.0 ``` It adds an extra, unnecessary build job.

Your `jobs.include` has an extra element in the array because you have a `-` in front of the `name` line you added. > What you want is: ```auto jobs: include: - stage: "Test" name: "Secondary tests" ⋮ - stage: "Docker build & push" name: "Build & publish Docker images" ⋮ ``` ---

Thank you for the quick reply, that fixed it! ---

That’s finally saved my day. I was revisiting [Overriding default job from os matrix](https://travis-ci.community/t/overriding-default-job-from-os-matrix/2328) to understand how to exclude default job, and it appeared that it was not a default job, but an explicit job added by this typo. ```auto include: - stage: lint - python: 3.6 env: TOXENV=bandit ``` [https://travis-ci.org/release-monitoring/anitya/builds/566916684/config](https://travis-ci.org/release-monitoring/anitya/builds/566916684/config) To avoid these mistakes, it would help to support indented syntax for stages that could also disable all default jobs. ```auto stages: - lint - script: one - test - script: two - script: three env: special - docker - script: docker ```
