Pipeline Trigger Manual Step

[Alan Andres Haro]

I'm currently running into some issues with my pipeline where is telling me that I have an issue as soon as I added the manual trigger into my pipeline. 

image: node:10.8.0
options:
max-time: 15
pipelines:
default:

- step:
name: Pipeline Cypress E2E
caches:
- npm
- cypress
image: cypress/base:10
script:
- npm ci
- npx cypress run --spec "[File_Path]"


artifacts:
- cypress/reports/**
- cypress/videos/**

definitions:
caches:
npm: $HOME/.npm
cypress: $HOME/.cache/Cypress

How should I add the manual step inside of this pipeline?

Hi Alan and welcome to the community.

Since a pipeline is triggered on a commit, it is not possible to make the first step manual.

If you have only this one step and you want to trigger it manually only, you can set it up as a custom pipeline instead (custom pipelines don't run automatically on push, but can only be triggered manually or on schedule):

image: node:10.8.0

options:
  max-time: 15

pipelines:
  custom:
    name-of-the-custom-pipeline:
      - step:
          name: Pipeline Cypress E2E
          caches:
            - npm
            - cypress
          image: cypress/base:10
          script:
            - npm ci
            - npx cypress run --spec "[File_Path]"
          artifacts:
            - cypress/reports/**
            - cypress/videos/**

definitions:
  caches:
    npm: $HOME/.npm
    cypress: $HOME/.cache/Cypress

You will then be able to trigger it manually or on schedule:

Is this something that works for you?

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
