Tags on bitbucket pipelines is having some issues

Savvy_Webmaster

I have the following bitbucket pipelines yml file:

image: php:7.0.31

pipelines:
  tags:
    release-*:
      -step:
        name: Rebuild and release
        script:

          - #does something

 

And I get this error: The 'release-*' section in your bitbucket-pipelines.yml file must be a list.

The documentation shows it as an example and added such tags on git. May you please have a look onto it?

 

Thank you.

I trust you've found the problem by now, but for anyone else stumbling upon this issue:

The problem is an error in YAML syntax. To create a list in YAML, each item starts with a `-` character _followed by a space_. If you skip the space, the hyphen (-) is treated as the start of the following string or key name.

When in doubt with YAML syntax, I find this online parser very useful:

You can also use JSON syntax in YAML if you find it easier to avoid mistakes that way.
