Deployment is not triggered on pull-requests when using bitbucket-pipelines

Bram van Dooren

I am trying to do a deploy when a pull request is merged into the master branch using bitbucket-pipelines however the deploy is not triggered. If I change from pull-requests to branches it does work. 

The bitbucket-pipelines.yml look like:

image: 'ruby:2.4.0'
pipelines:
 pull-requests:
 master:
 - step:
 name: 'Deploy to production'
 deployment: production
 caches:
 - bundler
 script:
 - 'bundle install'
definitions:
 caches:
 bundler: ./vendor

Any help is appreciated.

Hey @Bram van Dooren,

 

Thanks for reaching out.

Pipelines that are defined for pull requests will run only if there is a pull request open for the branch defined. i.e. in your example above, the pull-requests pipeline will run when a PR is open from the master branch (not when a PR is merged into the master branch).

Branch pipelines run on every push to the branch, so if you'd like your deployment to run when you merge to master, you should define that as a branch pipeline for the master branch. That way, every push to the master branch will trigger the pipeline and the deployment will run. 

For more information about pull request pipelines, you can check out our documentation. 

Hope this info helps!
