Is it possible to run manual builds on tags in bitbucket pipelines ?
Hi Aashish,
Is there any reason why you don't set up a pipeline to run on tags? Then use the tag feature in Bitbucket to trigger the pipeline?
One use case i can think of is, if you are following the GitFlow where you create a tag on your master when the build is released and you decide to rollback, you would like to redeploy an old version of your code.
it would be a cool feature to have so i dont have to create a separate branch to redeploy.
Could be useful when bitbucket is failing and don't run tags pipeline by itself (like now)
I've hit this problem as well, there is not way to run a pipeline for a tag, even if you select a tagged commit, it will only run the pipeline for the commit and BITBUCKET_TAG is empty. You have to delete and then re-push the tag to trigger a tag build pipeline.
You should be able to trigger a build for any ref you wish, like CodeBuild and others can.
The only way we were able to solve this was copying the tag build into a duplicate custom build where we could pass in the tag name. For example,
You can then trigger the build and pass in the tag name as a variable
It's stupid that we have to work around something simple like this, but hopefully it'll be fixed by Atlassian in a future release.
