Manual pipeline steps not working

Question

This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: Run pipelines manually

I can not get manual steps to appear at all.  I've followed the examples to the letter, but no joy.

pipelines:
  custom: # Pipelines that are triggered manually
    sonar:
      - step:
          script:
            - echo "Manual triggers for Sonar are awesome!"
    deployment-to-prod:
      - step:
          script:
            - echo "Manual triggers for deployments are awesome!"
  branches:  # Pipelines that run automatically on a commit to a branch
    staging:
      - step:
          script:
            - echo "Automated pipelines are cool too."

Any idea what I'm doing wrong ?

Hi

Just to follow this up -

Atlassian resolved this - It seems I had an old version (connector descriptor) - guess thats something internal to Bitbucket and it wasn’t showing the custom builds properly. Their developers manually upgrade it within my account. It's working really well now.

Hi Mark

Thanks for the response. I'll see where I get to with support. We use gitlab elsewhere in my company...might take a look into that too

Hi Craig,

I didn't get it working... still waiting on a solution. Hopefully Atlassian will fix this issue soon as it seems fundamental to their CI as a pipeline offering.  If they do come back with a solution, please post

In the mean time I've switched my CI over to gitlab running as a docker image which works in pretty much the same way, and allows you to define and run manual steps.  (It took me about 30mins to setup!)
