Bitbucket Pipelines & approvals

[Monica Gordillo]

I know that Bitbucket Pipelines has the ability to make a deployment manual (trigger: manual).  Is there a way to send approval to another user before continuing with the deployment to production?  Maybe there's a 3rd party pipe that can do this?

@Monica Gordillo Currently Bitbucket Pipelines doesn't have the capability to request approvals for deployments within the product. Bitbucket Pipelines does have integration with Jira Service Management which allows you to request approvals. https://bitbucket.org/blog/a-modern-approach-to-change-management-with-bitbucket-and-jira-service-desk

@Justin Thomas @Monica Gordillo Will this code work for auto-approval?

build: &build
  step:
    name: Build
    script:
      - echo "Starting build..."
      #- <your build logic>
    after-script:
      - ALERT_TYPE="success"
      - if [[ $BITBUCKET_EXIT_CODE -ne 0 ]]; then ALERT_TYPE="error" ; fi
      - pipe: atlassian/email-notify:0.3.12
        variables:
          USERNAME: 'myemail@example.com'
          PASSWORD: $PASSWORD
          FROM: 'myemail@example.com'
          TO: 'example1@example.com, example2@example.com'
          HOST: 'smtp.gmail.com'
          SUBJECT: '${ALERT_TYPE}:Bitbucket Pipe Notification for ${BITBUCKET_BRANCH}'

When you use a manual trigger (see e.g. https://bitbucket.org/blog/pipelines-manual-steps-confidence-deployment-pipeline ), you can send an email from e.g. a bash script or through a webhook.

Sounds like no option exists within Bitbucket Pipelines itself? 

Unfortunately, the manual trigger cannot be the only/first step in the pipeline.

I'd love to be able to configure approvals to move on to deployment to prod stage in the pipeline.

Hi, i have been using microsoft devops for years, this is my first dive into bitbucket, it seems there is no support for approvals? So how are you doing that? I am used to the following pipeline. one yaml with 5 steps, build artefact and run tests. Then automatic deploy to development, then waiting for approval from tester to deploy to test, and the same for acceptance and production. for production i need 2 approvers. Can this be done in Bitbucket pipelines?
