Why receive 400 Bad request for executing custom pipeline API

Question

This is what I execute: curl -X POST -i -u ':' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories///pipelines/ -d ' { "target": { "type": "pipeline_ref_target", "ref_type": "branch", "ref_name": "master", "selector": { "type": "custom", "pattern": "increment-build-version" } } }' This is what I receive: {"error": {"message": "Bad request", "detail": "bitbucket-pipelines.yml not found.", "data": {"key": "result-service.pipeline.yml-not-found", "arguments": {}}}} But, I have a bitbucket-pipelines.yml file and custom pipelines defined like so: pipelines: custom: new-start-testflight: - step: name: New Test Flight image: atlassian/default-image:2 script: - ./prepTestFlight.sh increment-build-number: - step: name: Increment Build Version image: atlassian/default-image:2 script: - git remote set-url origin ${BITBUCKET_GIT_SSH_ORIGIN} - ./incrementBuildVersion.sh

A little bit late, but in my case, the error was caused due to the custom pipeline didn't exist in the specified branch.

See this other thread for reference https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Bitbucket-questions/Pipeline-trigger-run-fails/qaq-p/2024388

The error message is not specifically meaning that the bitbucket-pipelines.yml file would not be there, it does also mean that the pipeline selected is not in that file (at refs/heads/master on the Bitbucket remote).

The pipeline "custom/increment-build-version" according to the yaml you posted can not be found.

I'd assume a misnomer and the pipeline is "custom/increment-build-number" instead (version -> number).
