ci(release): conditionally exclude macos-15-intel from smoke test matrix#5311
Merged
Conversation
…ix in job if GitHub Actions evaluates job-level `if:` before matrix expansion, so the `matrix.runner` context isn't available there — the workflow failed to parse with "Unrecognized named-value: 'matrix'". Build the matrix list via `fromJSON(inputs.prerelease && ... || ...)` so macos-15-intel is excluded from the matrix on prereleases entirely, which achieves the same goal (skip the slow Intel leg on PR/beta, keep it on stable) without referencing `matrix` from a job condition.

Refactor the smoke test job to conditionally exclude the slowest runner (
macos-15-intel) from the test matrix on prerelease builds, rather than using a job-levelif:condition.Changes:
