Using Jenkins triggers to execute a pipeline's test suite run - jenkins

Question

We use Jenkins 2.176 to manage our CI. In our Jenkinsfile, we've defined a trigger to start the pipeline M-F at 4:30AM, and we want it to skip testing in an ephemeral environment and deploying.
pipeline {
triggers { cron('30 4 * * 1-5') }
stages {
stage('Build') {
...
}
stage('Tests') {
...
}
stage('Test in ephemeral environment') {
when { triggeredBy 'SCMTrigger' }
steps {
...
}
}
stage('Deploy') {
when { allOf { branch 'master'; triggeredBy 'SCMTrigger' } }
steps {
...
}
}
}
}
The problem is: the "Test in ephemeral environment" does not trigger when the branch is pushed via a git hook. The "Build" and "Tests" stages execute, but not the "Test in ephemeral environment". Once merged to master, I suspect I'll have a similar problem with the "Deploy" step but haven't made it that far.
What am I missing to make this work? It seems so straightforward 🤔

Answer 1

My solution was to simply exclude TimerTrigger explicitly from steps I didn't want to execute. From my example, I did this:
pipeline {
triggers { cron('30 4 * * 1-5') }
stages {
stage('Build') {
...
}
stage('Tests') {
...
}
stage('Test in ephemeral environment') {
when { not { triggeredBy 'TimerTrigger' } }
steps {
...
}
}
stage('Deploy') {
when { allOf { branch 'master'; not { triggeredBy 'TimerTrigger' } } }
steps {
...
}
}
}
}
