Gitlab CI: create multiple builds from single commit - gitlab

Question

My current gitlab configuration is very simple as below
stages:
- build
before_script:
- some commands here
build-after-commit:
stage: build
script:
- some command here
artifacts:
expire_in: 1 day
when: on_success
name: name here
paths:
- build/*.zip
I want to run build-after-commit part twice with different settings. I am expecting something like this
stages:
- build
before_script:
- some commands here
build-after-commit:
stage: build
script:
- some command here
artifacts:
expire_in: 1 day
when: on_success
name: name1 here
paths:
- build/*.zip
# run it again with different settings
stage: build
script:
- Different script here
artifacts:
expire_in: 1 day
when: on_success
name: name2 here
paths:
- build/*.zip
So basically, in the second run the script will be different and the name of the output file will be different. How can I do this?

Answer 1

The straightforward approach would be to just have another job in the build stage.
E.g.
stages:
- build
before_script:
- some commands here
build-after-commit:
stage: build
script:
- some command here
artifacts:
expire_in: 1 day
when: on_success
name: name1 here
paths:
- build/*.zip
build-after-commit2:
stage: build
script:
- Different script here
artifacts:
expire_in: 1 day
when: on_success
name: name2 here
paths:
- build/*.zip
If you define build-after-commit2 in the same stage (build) it will even be run in parallel to build-after-commit.
In this case, I don't think having two jobs is bad design, as they are actually quite different from each other i.e. different script and different artifact name.
