How does Pipelines interact with Mercurial bookmarks?

[Kevin Norris]

This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: Configure bitbucket-pipelines.yml

In particular, what happens if I have multiple bookmarks on the same named branch?  Does Pipelines treat that like multiple branches or one branch?

[Tom Bradshaw · Accepted solution]

Pipelines won't build any bookmarks. It will only build the named branches in your repository. If there is a single branch with multiple bookmarks it will be built as if it had no bookmarks on the branch.

Thank you.  Unfortunately, since I use bookmarks in the same way as a Git user would use (Git) branches, this is simply not workable for me, so I will not be able to use Pipelines.

Sometime since this question was asked and answered, an option to trigger pipelines based on bookmark names was added:
