We need to figure out why the nightly builds are not triggered FYI @pradnyeshjoshi @simonzhaoms

@miguelgfierro currently nightly tests are triggered on push to staging or nightly from the main branch.

@miguelgfierro currently nightly tests are triggered on push to staging or nightly from the main branch.

@pradnyeshjoshi Let me clarify, what we are looking for is this:

• 1. We want nightly builds in main scheduled every day (it seems we can't have them in staging)
• 2. We want that the nightly builds are executed when there is a PR from staging to main (also the unit tests)
• 3. We want the nightly builds to be executed in staging after the code is merged in staging, not in every push (this is not ideal, because what we really want is to execute the nightly in staging every night, but since it is not possible to schedule jobs there, this is better than executing staging every time there is a PR to it).

Now, the reasoning behind all this is because we are building a preprod/production system. In preprod (staging) is where we develop, and we test all the code and make sure that no errors are there, however, there might be errors, that's acceptable as long as they are not moved to main.

In main it is not acceptable to have errors, this is equivalent to having an error in production, it is a big mess. We monitor that main is healthy with the nightly builds every day, and also, before adding code to main (PR from staging to main) we execute all the tests (unit and nightly), because we don't want absolutely any error in main.

Does it make sense?

@miguelgfierro 1 and 3 are already set up in the current code. I have created a PR for 2 here.
