Some tests are designed to be run against specific environments or [pipelines](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/quality/guidelines/debugging-qa-test-failures/#scheduled-qa-test-pipelines).
We can specify what environments or pipelines to run tests against using the `only` metadata.
If you want to run an `only: { :pipeline }` tagged test on your local GDK make sure either the `CI_PROJECT_NAME` CI/CD variable is unset, or that the `CI_PROJECT_NAME` variable matches the specified pipeline in the `only: { :pipeline }` tag, or just delete the `only: { :pipeline }` tag.
Similarly to specifying that a test should only run against a specific environment, it's also possible to quarantine a
test only when it runs against a specific environment. The syntax is exactly the same, except that the `only: { ... }`
hash is nested in the [`quarantine: { ... }`](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/quality/guidelines/debugging-qa-test-failures/#quarantining-tests) hash.
