feat(core): allow to filter pipeline based on labels by olblak · Pull Request #7621 · updatecli/updatecli

olblak · 2026-01-28T20:17:42Z

Introduce the ability to specify labels within Updatecli manifest and then filter pipeline at runtime by using the new flag "--labels"

For example, let's take the following manifest

name: Test debian
pipelineid: debian
labels:
  "os": "debian"

targets:
  default:
    name: Update Debian
    kind: shell
    spec:
      command: "echo debian"

It's now possible to use the command updatecli apply --config updatecli.d/ --labels="os:alpine" to only apply pipeline with the corresponding label

Test

To test this pull request, you can run the following commands:

cd pkg/core/config/ 
go test .

Pull request overview

This pull request introduces label-based filtering for Updatecli pipelines. Users can define labels in their manifests and filter which pipelines to execute using the --labels flag. Labels are also propagated to autodiscovery-generated pipelines.

Changes:

Added Labels field to pipeline specifications, reports, and engine options to support label metadata
Implemented label filtering logic in the configuration loader to skip pipelines that don't match specified labels
Added --labels command-line flag across all relevant commands (apply, diff, prepare, show, compose, manifest) to enable runtime filtering
Updated tests to verify label and pipeline ID filtering behavior

@olblak could the list of labels to skip be passed in updatecli values file?

Use case: skip on labels only in specific repositories.

olblak · 2026-03-06T11:44:19Z

If I understand correctly you would like something like

      --ignore-labels stringArray         Filter pipelines to apply by their labels, accepted as a comma separated list (key:value)

in addition to the currently supported

      --labels stringArray         Filter pipelines to apply by their labels, accepted as a comma separated list (key:value)

lemeurherve · 2026-03-06T11:45:20Z

Yes, and the possibility to pass this argument via the values file.
