What does this mean? Ah, it excludes the job if these variables aren't set?
Yes, this is what it does according to gitlab ci docs https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#onlyexcept-basic. otherwise, fresh forks will have always-unsuccessful job.
Hmm, docs aren't quite clear, but it doesn't seem to work as is. I accidentally set the new S390X_ACCOUNT varable to "protected", and then the job was started but with $S390X_ACCOUNT expanding to the empty string, and failing.. Perhaps it needs to be written as
- $FOO != ""
instead?
