Bitbucket Pipelines - Trigger build on tag to master only

Question

I'd like to trigger a pipelines build when a tag is created on the master branch only. How would I do this?

Hi @Giorgi Rekhviashvili

This was proposed as a feature, but our developers declined its implementation due to a lack of customer demand - please see the comments for further context:

* https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-21117

At this stage, branch triggers will trigger whenever there is any kind of push to the branch - this includes commits and tags.

Cheers!

Hi @Ben ,

your example will trigger any branch with tag 'master'. 
Question is different. How to trigger only master or main branch with tag and not other branches.

Thx!

G'day @David Jackson !

Welcome to the Bitbucket Cloud community! :)

You would need to make use of the tags trigger condition, you can find more information in our documentation:

* https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/pipeline-start-conditions/#Tags

Basically, you would define this in a similar method to branches - for example:

pipelines: 
  tags: 
    'master': 
     - step:
         script: 
           - echo "Hello world!"

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
