Hi @leonardehrenfried,

Glad to see you in Github Community Forum!
Add references to a common step from both files is not supported. The two workflows are different, based on your yaml code, it will:

1. Trigger pull request workflow and test when create a PR to master branch.
2. Besides the merge from PR, any commits in master branch will trigger the tests and then deploy an artifact.

If this is your expectation, you have to copy the test step into two yaml files, since test could be failed in the pull request workflow which will block the merge, and you need to execute test for the direct commit in master branch as well.

Thanks.

Would it be an option for you to remove the branch restrictions on the workflows, and instead check on the docker job (using if: either on the job or relevant steps) if you’re running on master, and skip if not?

This was exactly the sort of trick that i’m looking for. Can you give an example of what the syntax looks like?

Is it perhaps:

if: ${{ github.ref == "master" }}

?

I think so, but I haven’t tried it myself. But as I understand the documentation adding that to the job should work. I’d recommend trying with a test job on a test branch (and a second test branch that shouldn’t run that job).

Nice, thank you for sharing the working code!
