Pull request pipelines not running after a pull request is open

Alberto Pellizzon

Hello, I am trying to use the new feature described here which allows me to trigger pipelines on pull requests.

I have set up my bitbucket-pipelines.yml as following

 

definitions: 
  services:
    elasticsearch: # es definition
    mysql: # mysql definition
  steps: &test
    services: 
      - elasticsearch 
      - mysql
    image: node
    name: Test
    caches: 
      - node
    script:
      - npm install
      - NODE_ENV=test npm run test_ci

pipelines:
  pull-requests:
    master:
       - step: *test
    develop:
       - step: *test
  branches: 
    master:
       - step: *test
       - step: # deploy step
    develop:
       - step: *test
       - step: # deploy step

With this i want to run a pipeline every time a PR is open onto master or develop.

Still I am not able to see any pipeline running for my PRs.
They only run when i push directly on develop / master (as definied in branches) or after the PR is merged.

 

Did i forget something ?

Hi Alberto,

The pull request pipelines are matched against the source of the pull request, not the destination. If you want to match against all source branches, you can use '**' (including quotes) as the pipeline key, eg:

pipelines:
  pull-requests:
    '**':
       - step: *test

Unfortunately there is currently no way to match against the destination branch. As an alternative you can check the value of the BITBUCKET_PR_DESTINATION_BRANCH variable within your build script and exit the build immediately if it is not equal to "master" or "develop".
