help: docker release pipeline does not update the latest tag

[romange]

I do not find the root cause.
My docker release pipeline seems to work well, https://github.com/dragonflydb/dragonfly/blob/main/.github/workflows/docker-release.yml
but for some reason, it does not update the "latest" tag. I had to manually tag and push it.
The pipeline logs do not show anything suspicious as well.

Ideas? 🤔

How exactly did you come to the conclusion that the latest tag in the registry is wrong? My ad-hoc guess would be, that you tried to run a container with the latest-tag and your local Docker instance used the already present image 🙂 docker run --pull always would ensure the image is always pulled (or at least verified against the local cache).

I thought I did an explicit pull but now I doubt myself. I will rerun the docker pipeline and will double check.

For the reference, current latest has "LastTagTime": "2022-06-08T11:24:02.182806883+03:00"

@tamcore , ok so a different question. I've run a docker pipeline manually. I print there ${{ github.event.inputs.PRERELEASE }} and ${{ github.event.release.prerelease }} in Extract artifacts step.
seems like I would expect that these fields will be false or non-present. However, for some reason, the pipeline executes Build pre-release image step and omits Build release image step. Do you know what can be wrong?

you can see the log here: https://github.com/dragonflydb/dragonfly/runs/6792175208?check_suite_focus=true

nm, I think I know why this happens
