Bitbucket Pipelines steps to always perform (setup step)

[jadbaz]

Suppose I have the following bitbucket-pipelines.yml

pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        script:
          - chmod +x gradlew
          - ./gradlew build
          - ./gradlew publishSnapshot
  tags:
    release-*:
      - step:
          script:
          - chmod +x gradlew
          - ./gradlew build
          - ./gradlew publishRelease

So bitbucket pipelines' documentation says that the default step is run every time no other rule is matched (such as branch or tag). 

So for example, if I have a tag release-* rule:

• When I don't have a tag, the default step will run
• When I have a "release-vX.X.X" tag, the release-* step will run

The problem is that the bold lines are shared code and therefore redundant. 

Is it possible to have a kind of setup step that will run before all?

This is an example of what I mean:

pipelines:
  setup:
    - step:
        script:
          - chmod +x gradlew
          - ./gradlew build  default:
    - step:
        script:
          - ./gradlew publishSnapshot
  tags:
    release-*:
      - step:
          script:
          - ./gradlew publishRelease

There is already an issue for this here: https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issues/12751/allow-more-capable-steps-that-can-be

This seems to be a part of a bigger issue of allowing multiple steps and it is still an open issue

This is no longer open @jadbaz

Thanks!

Why is this no longer open ?  As long as I know this requirement is not available in any form neither any workaround

What Danielo said. As far as I can see, what Jad asks for is not resolved yet?

[jadbaz]

You're right, I unmarked answer as correct.

So this is still an open issue as far as I can see
