Pipeline triggered on branch creation

[Gonzalo]

Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to start a pipeline when a new branch (release/*) is created, not when there is a commit.

For example, If I create a new branch release/1.0.0 from develop using Bitbucket I would like to run my test suite on that branch without having committing anything.

Thank you very much

Hello,

As far as I understand this already happens, assuming that the branch has a bitbucket-pipelines.yml. Can you paste in an example of your bitbucket-pipelines.yml?

Thanks,

Phil

Hi Philip,

Thanks for replying. You are totally right this is the way it works when you create the release branch locally and then you push it. But when I create the release on Bitbucket it won't trigger the pipeline.

Here is my bitbucket-pipelines.yml:

options:
  docker: true
  size: 2x


pipelines:
  branches:
    develop:
      - step:
          image: williamyeh/ansible:ubuntu18.04
          deployment: staging
          script:
            - [things we do]

    release/*:
      - step:
          image: [our image]
          deployment: production
          caches:
            - composer
          script:
            - [things we do]
          artifacts:
            - tests/_output/**
            - var/log/**



definitions:
  services:
    docker:
      memory: 4096

Hmmm. I can't seem to reproduce this.

Here's what I'm doing. Maybe something stands out as different to you?

I have the following bitbucket-pipelines.yml on my master branch.

pipelines:
  branches:
    test*:
      - step:
          script:
            - echo hello

I then click on the Branches sidebar icon.

And then 'Create Branch'.

I call the new branch "test-branch-name".

And then see that a new pipeline is running on that branch.

Does anything there look different to what you're doing?

Hey, I've just tested it and you are right again. Its working as expected. Maybe at the beginning I was testing it wrong :p

Thank you very much for your time
