Hello Team, I have following pipeline to check the condition before trigger but looks like not working fine. Can someone share thoughts ? ```auto BUILDKITE_MESSAGE="Merge pull request #114 from vth90x/bk_automated_from_spconfig-278 ``` ```auto agents: queue: docker steps: - label: 'Prepare BuildKite Pipeline file' commands: - pwsh .buildkite/scripts/module-yaml.ps1 - pwsh .buildkite/scripts/functions.ps1 - pwsh .buildkite/scripts/preparevaultpipeline.ps1 - buildkite-agent pipeline upload .buildkite/integratevault.yml if: | // Don't when the message contains "MESSAGE_TO_IGNORE_BUILD" // Don't when the message contains bk_automated_from_spconfig build.message !~ /MESSAGE_TO_IGNORE_BUILD/ && build.message !~ /bk_automated_from_spconfig/ - wait ``` ---

Hey @sukurams! I’m not seeing anything rare in your solution 🤔. In this particular case, are you saying that it’s not running that command? Can you check the value of `BUILDKITE_MESSAGE` in the `Environment` tab and confirm that is the one you are expecting? Best! ---

Thank you for your message @paula. The issue is , the filter is not stoping the build when build message is ``` BUILDKITE\_MESSAGE="Merge pull request #114 from xxxx/bk\_automated\_from\_spconfig-278 ````auto I expecting the if condition execute and stop the build. The first if loop workingZ(build.message !~ /MESSAGE_TO_IGNORE_BUILD/) as expected when error message as ``` BUILDKITE_MESSAGE="MESSAGE_TO_IGNORE_BUILD" ```` ---

Hi @sukurams! You’re using `&&` so both conditions need to be met, if you want one or the other you should use `||` as your logic operator, which represents `OR`. Cheers, Ben ---

Thank you @benmc. I have tried both before. Can you please confirm the condition looks good to check contain string from build message ? ---

As I mentioned above, I have tested with below changes. The Build message I just noticed ```auto BUILDKITE_MESSAGE="Merge pull request #114 from xxxx/bk_automated_from_spconfig-278 Automated PR - Testing export and import" ``` ```auto if: | // Don't when the message contains "MESSAGE_TO_IGNORE_BUILD" // Don't when branch name bk_automated_from_spconfig build.message !~ /MESSAGE_TO_IGNORE_BUILD/ || build.message !~ /bk_automated_from_spconfig/ ``` ---

@sukurams Firstly, it is `&&`, apologies, I’m always wrong with logical operators. The only time I’ve been able to make this set up fail is by using the wrong case, for example `message_to_ignore_build` rather than `MESSAGE_TO_IGNORE_BUILD`. Ben ---

I think build.message !~ /MESSAGE\_TO\_IGNORE\_BUILD/ logic working as expected but build.message !~ /bk\_automated\_from\_spconfig/ not working since build message having spaces. is there any way we can fix it ? Or is there any way I can setup the build message / any other environment variable to check. ---

@sukurams I’ve been able to locate the relevant build and the step doesn’t have the logic to not build on `/bk_automated_from_spconfig/` ![Screenshot 2022-11-09 at 3.30.35 pm](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/buildkite1/original/2X/f/f5ba6a9011f32294c2c221de99be1ea8a5d95027.png) ---

@benmc - The background, I have to check the both build message and avoid to execute the build. all I looking with spaces in build message how to validate the build message contain. Expected Build Message when Auto PR creation and merge the commit to main branch. ```auto BUILDKITE_MESSAGE="Merge pull request #114 from xxxx/bk_automated_from_spconfig-278 Automated PR - Testing export and import" ``` ---

Hey! Can you send a particular build example to [support@buildkite.com](mailto:support@buildkite.com) so we can better check this? Thanks! ---
