Pipelines: using pipes inside parallel blocks

[Paul Hicks]

Is it possible to invoke pipes from within parallel blocks? I haven't managed to find the correct syntax yet, and the error messages are pretty good at protecting me from learning anything. My current effort is:

pipelines:
  pull-requests:
    "**":
      - parallel:
          steps:
            - step:
                name: Run Bitbucket's native secret checks (Gitleaks)
                script:
                  - pipe: atlassian/git-secrets-scan:3.2.0
            - step:
                name: Run Bitbucket's native dependency scanner
                script:
                  - pipe: atlassian/dependency-scanner:0.3.0
              artifacts:
                - dependency-check-report.json
            - step:
                name: Run Bitbucket's native IaC checks (KICS)
                script:
                  - pipe: atlassian/bitbucket-iac-scan:0.5.2

This is being called but it's erroring instantly with message:

---

Configuration error

No matching pipeline definition in the Pipelines configuration.

---

Is there a syntax that works for this?

I have tried a selection of other options, including child pipelines and shared configuration. They all work fine until they reach this block, then instant error.

Any insights would be appreciated!

It looks like "no matching pipeline definition" means "pipe atlassian/dependency-scanner is broken". Error messages, eh? I tried the newest version (0.8.0) and it still doesn't work. The problem is in that one pipe; the other two from the example above work fine. I tried it non-parallel, and the same error occurs. The problem is definitely in atlassian/dependency-scanner.

I'd raise an issue against the pipe, but they're using Bitbucket to host it, and there's no Bitbucket Issues. :facepalm:

Further to this: it turns out that the reason dependency-scanner is broken is that it doesn't exist. The correct name is birbucket-dependency-scanner  Mea culpa. Though the hopeless error message doesn't help: there's no hint that's the problem. Atlasssian support spotted mistake and raised this issue: vote for it!
