"Schema validation: Property 'variables' is not allowed" error in bitbucket-pipelines.yml

I've set up a pipeline to allow a user to repeat a test a specific number of times. It looks something like this:

 

image: python:3.11.0

definitions:
caches:
pip3: /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages
steps:
    - step: &setup
        name: 'Install dependencies'
        caches:
          - pip3
script:
          - python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
          - pip install -r requirements.txt

pipelines:
custom:
    run_tests:
      - variables:
          - name: iterations
default: 1
      - step: *setup
      - step:
name: 'Run tests'
          caches:
            - pip3
script:
            - |
              for i in `seq 1 $iterations`; 
              do
                python run_tests.py
              done

artifacts:
            - outputs/**

 However, PyCharm gives me this error:

Schema validation: Property 'variables' is not allowed

I don't know if the issue is with PyCharm or something else, but there are no problems after the code, and the pipeline runs fine. Anyone know what's causing this?

Hi Danny and welcome to the community!

I see no issues with your bitbucket-pipelines.yml file, the definition of the variables in the custom pipeline looks correct and according to our docs.

I'm not sure why PyCharm shows an error and how they do this validation; it may be best to reach out to the support team of the product if you'd like to get more info on that.

You can use our validator for bitbucket-pipelines.yml if you want to check the validity of your bitbucket-pipelines.yml file:
