Pipeline trigger based on branch

[Eric Muelbredt]

Hello,

it is not quite clear to me what the structure of the yml file is for different branches.

I need the possibility to run different validation jobs per branch.

If I create a PullRequest against stage, the validation job of develop still runs.

pipelines:

pull-requests:

'**->develop':

- step:

name: "Validate for PR to develop"

caches:

- node

script:

- echo "Installing Salesforce CLI..."

- npm install --global @Salesforce/cli

- echo "Installing sfdx git delta plugin..."

- echo y | sf plugins:install sfdx-git-delta

- sf plugins

- echo "Authenticating with Salesforce using authURL for develop (PR)..."

- echo "$SF_AUTH_URL_DEV" > authfile.txt

- sfdx auth:sfdxurl:store --sfdx-url-file authfile.txt --setalias devOrg --setdefaultusername

- echo "Creating delta packages for new, modified or deleted metadata..."

- mkdir -p changed-sources

- sf sgd:source:delta --to "HEAD" --from "origin/develop" --output changed-sources/ --generate-delta --source force-app/ -i .forceignore

- chmod +x ./deployment/script/*.sh

- echo "Running validation script for develop..."

- ./deployment/script/validate.sh devOrg

'**->stage':

- step:

name: "Validate for PR to stage"

caches:

- node

script:

- echo "Installing Salesforce CLI..."

- npm install --global @Salesforce/cli

- echo "Installing sfdx git delta plugin..."

- echo y | sf plugins:install sfdx-git-delta

- sf plugins

- echo "Authenticating with Salesforce using authURL for stage (PR)..."

- echo "$SF_AUTH_URL_STAGE" > authfile.txt

- sfdx auth:sfdxurl:store --sfdx-url-file authfile.txt --setalias stageOrg --setdefaultusername

- echo "Creating delta packages for new, modified or deleted metadata..."

- mkdir -p changed-sources

- sf sgd:source:delta --to "HEAD" --from "origin/stage" --output changed-sources/ --generate-delta --source force-app/ -i .forceignore

- chmod +x ./deployment/script/*.sh

- echo "Running validation script for stage..."

- ./deployment/script/validate.sh stageOrg

Hi! 👋

Bitbucket Pipelines doesn’t recognize '**->branch' syntax for pull-request triggers. Instead, the correct way to specify a PR trigger for a branch is just the branch name, like this:

pull-requests:
  develop:
    - step:
      ...
  stage:
    - step:
      ...

You can also check Atlassian's documentation on Pipeline start conditions: https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/pipeline-start-conditions/ 

Let me know if this helps! ✨

Hi,

If I adopt your syntax and create a pull request against develop, nothing happens. So no job is executed.

Hi @Eric Muelbredt

The syntax matches against the source branch, not the target branch.

You might want to have a look at Flowie, a Bitbucket app we provide, which gives you more control over the pipelines trigger. It supports trigger based on target branch like you are trying to achieve, for instance.

Found a solution.

image: node:18

pipelines:

pull-requests:

'**': # Wildcard triggers for all PRs

 - step:

name: "Validate PR for develop, stage or main"

caches:

 - node

script:

 - |

 echo "Source Branch: $BITBUCKET_PR_SOURCE_BRANCH"

 echo "Target Branch: $BITBUCKET_PR_DESTINATION_BRANCH"

 echo "Installing Salesforce CLI..."

 npm install --global @salesforce/cli

 echo "Installing sfdx git delta plugin..."

 echo y | sf plugins:install sfdx-git-delta

 sf plugins

 # Branch-based environment detection

 if [ "$BITBUCKET_PR_DESTINATION_BRANCH" = "develop" ]; then

 echo "Authenticating with Salesforce using authURL for develop (PR)..."

 echo "$SF_AUTH_URL_DEV" > authfile.txt

 sfdx auth:sfdxurl:store --sfdx-url-file authfile.txt --setalias devOrg --setdefaultusername

 ORG_ALIAS="devOrg"

 FROM_BRANCH="origin/develop"

 elif [ "$BITBUCKET_PR_DESTINATION_BRANCH" = "stage" ]; then

 echo "Authenticating with Salesforce using authURL for stage (PR)..."

 echo "$SF_AUTH_URL_STAGE" > authfile.txt

 sfdx auth:sfdxurl:store --sfdx-url-file authfile.txt --setalias stageOrg --setdefaultusername

 ORG_ALIAS="stageOrg"

 FROM_BRANCH="origin/stage"

 elif [ "$BITBUCKET_PR_DESTINATION_BRANCH" = "main" ]; then

 echo "Authenticating with Salesforce using authURL for production (PR)..."

 echo "$SF_AUTH_URL_PROD" > authfile.txt

 sfdx auth:sfdxurl:store --sfdx-url-file authfile.txt --setalias prodOrg --setdefaultusername

 ORG_ALIAS="prodOrg"

 FROM_BRANCH="origin/main"

 else

 echo "❌ Unsupported PR target branch: $BITBUCKET_PR_DESTINATION_BRANCH. Aborting."

 exit 1

 fi

 echo "Creating delta packages for new, modified or deleted metadata..."

 mkdir -p changed-sources

 sf sgd:source:delta --to "HEAD" --from "$FROM_BRANCH" --output changed-sources/ --generate-delta --source force-app/ -i .forceignore

 echo "Running validation script..."

 chmod +x ./deployment/script/*.sh

 ./deployment/script/validate.sh "$ORG_ALIAS"

Glad to hear you found a solution! 😊
