So I have a gitlab yml file and there I define two anchors each with their own rule:

.mr_event_with_path1: &mr_event_with_path1
  variables:
    <<: *base_variables
  rules:
    - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == 'merge_request_event' && $CI_PROJECT_PATH == $PATH1
      when: always
    - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == 'web'
      when: always
  tags:
    - myTag 

.mr_event_job_base: &mr_event_job_base
  variables:
    <<: *base_variables
  rules:
    - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == 'merge_request_event'
      when: always
    - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == 'web'
      when: always
  tags:
    - myTag




setup_environment:
  <<: *mr_event_job_base
  stage: .pre
  needs: []
  script: # bla bla


runpath1:
  <<: *mr_event_with_path1
  stage: .pre
  needs: []
  script: # bla bla

The idea is that I then define general jobs and use the anchor mr_event_job_base. And I got some specific jobs only to be run when the project path is some specific project $PATH1.

It works fine when the project path is indeed $PATH1 , here I see all jobs running including setup_environment, however, when the path is not $PATH1 I dont see any jobs at all

Is there anything wrong with the above, or does GitLab not support mulitple anchors each with their own rules..
