Attempting to run

I’m attempting to think my way out of job dependency hell, and not having much luck so far. My desire seems simple:

• I want to have every commit to a branch run through my CircleCI development job.

• I want to have every commit to master run through both the CircleCI development job, and then my CircleCI Production job if the development job succeeds.

My workflow is thus:

workflows:
  version: 2
  test_then_maybe_deploy:
    jobs:
      - development_job:
          filters:
            branches:
              ignore: 'master'
      - production_job:
          requires:
            - 'development_job'
          filters:
            branches:
              only: 'master'

In the above config, my “development_job” runs on any commit to any branch in the repo except master. Great! That’s what I want.

However, no CircleCI job runs on any commit to master.

If I comment out production_job’s requirement for development_job, then production_job runs on every commit to master, naturally.

I think that production_job is ignored when the requirement for development_job exists is because of course development_job is not run because of the branch filter ignoring master. The “production_job” then cannot run. It seems to be a bit of a chicken and egg scenario.

How would I make any commit to master also require the “development_job” is run successfully first? I never want a commit to master to not be checked with the development_job. I’m thinking I may need multiple workflows, or a “development_job2” that’s just a copy and paste of the original one with no filter.
