Unable to schedule bitbucket pipeline

[Deleted user]

Im able to schedule pipeline for master but unable to do so for release branch. the dropdown is disabled. I checked the bitbucket-pipelines.yml on the release branch and it looks ok.

Hi @[deleted]

This problem is caused by a bug. What happens is that whenever a branch with a forward slash is used the API in the background will fail and the feature will not work.

You can clearly see the problem described here: 
#17742 - Creating a scheduled Pipelines for a branch with the "/" character in the name fails — Bitbucket

You probably noticed that the bug above was closed as a duplicate. This is the original issue, the bug that needs to be resolved:
#15358 - REST API 2.0 to get raw content of an individual file on fails in case of slash in the branch name. — Bitbucket

Moving forward
As a workaround, try to create branches without special characters, at least until this issue is fixed.

Thanks @Daniel Santos will try brach names without / for now and will keep an eye on the original bug raised. Thanks once again.

You are welcome!
I'm glad to be helpful.

I spent a few hours trying to understand why my pipelines were not showing up.

Would be great to add a note in the doc...

Hi @Christophe Bougère

I'm sorry to hear that you lost some time on this one.

We usually don't add bugs to the docs since this would require rework when they are fixed. We add them to our JIRA system, community thread or knowledge base articles. These sources are usually easy to find from google and can be collaboratively maintained over time. 

I suggest to try those sources or even creating a new question in community in case you face new issues. I hope that makes sense to you.
