Trigger Custom Pipeline without credentials

Mikhail Klimenko

Hello,

I want to start a custom pipeline from another pipeline, but I want it to be activated by the same user who activated the initial pipeline on the same branch and the same repository. It looks reasonable to me that it should be possible without creating additional users and app passwords in that case. A user is running the pipeline already, right? Why does he need extra authentication? :-)

For Pull-Request reports delivery there's a possibility to send requests with curl using proxy server (http://localhost:29418) bypassing the credentials verification. Is it possible to use the same approach to trigger pipelines?

Here's what I tried (without success, but works fine when replacing proxy parameter user credentials):

curl --proxy 'http://localhost:29418'
-X POST -is -H 'Content-Type:application/json' 
https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/$BITBUCKET_REPO_OWNER/$BITBUCKET_REPO_SLUG/pipelines/
-d '{
"target":{
 "type":"pipeline_ref_target",
 "ref_type":"branch",
 "ref_name":"$BITBUCKET_BRANCH",
 "selector":{"type":"custom","pattern":"Run autotests"}}
}'

 Thanks!

Hi Mikhail and welcome to the community.

The current proxy only works for pushing back to the repo where Pipelines is running during a Pipelines build, and also with the reports and annotations API endpoints. It is not designed to work with any other endpoints, so I'm afraid that what you're asking is not possible at the moment.

You will need to use authentication in the API call. You can also use the following pipe to trigger another pipeline:

• https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/trigger-pipeline/src/master/

That also requires a username and app password for authentication.

I can create a feature request in our issue tracker about what you're asking, for our product managers and development team to consider. Please feel free to let me know if you'd like me to do that.

Kind regards,
Theodora
