Pipelines not executing updated yml file

Question

When I make changes to my bitbucket-pipelines.yml file the Pipelines doesn't see the changes.

I'm working on master. I've tried editing the yml file directly in Bitbucket. Pipelines sees a new commit and begins executing but the operations that are executed are from an old yml file.

When I click the gear icon here:

I see the new/updated yml file. But the Build panel to the right of that shows commands from an old yml file are being updated.

I've made a number of commits to the yml file now. None of them have been picked up by Pipelines.

Has anyone encountered this issue? Any suggestions of what to try to resolve it?

Hi @Alexander Zhukov.

Just FYI I currently have Atlassian support investigating.

A bit more detail about the issue:

* A few days ago I pushed a commit to master with a change to the bitbucket-pipelines.yml file. I changed line 26 from `npm start &` to `npm run start:for-tests &`.
* Since then we have made many commits to master.
* Pipelines detects the commits and triggers builds. But it runs `npm start &` instead of the updated line.

I don't think the issue is with the structure of the yml file. We just can't get the latest version of the yml file to be used in Pipeline builds.

@Malcolm van Raalte , I haven't heard about this kink of issues before. Could you shared your bitbucket-pipelines.yml so I can try to understand what could be wrong? If that's not possible, you could share just a basic structure of your bitbucket-pipelines.yml file.
