Can't checkout master on a branch pipeline

[awerlang]

I have a pipeline that runs when pushing to a branch. I created a manual step to merge that branch back to master. Triggering this step, checking out master always fails.

  - git remote set-url origin https://username:${GIT_SECRET}@bitbucket.org/custodyx/cxc
  - git remote show origin
  - git fetch origin && git branch -avv && git checkout master

Here's I'm using app passwords, but I tried SSH keys to no avail.

Output:

> git remote show origin

* remote origin
  Fetch URL: https://username:$GIT_SECRET@bitbucket.org/custodyx/cxc
  Push  URL: https://username:$GIT_SECRET@bitbucket.org/custodyx/cxc
  HEAD branch: master
  Remote branch:
    pipelines-merge tracked
  Local branch configured for 'git pull':
    pipelines-merge merges with remote pipelines-merge
  Local ref configured for 'git push':
    pipelines-merge pushes to pipelines-merge (up to date)

> git fetch origin && git branch -avv && git checkout master

* pipelines-merge                2685089 [origin/pipelines-merge] merge back to master
  remotes/origin/pipelines-merge 2685089 merge back to master
error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git.

* pipelines-merge: the branch to merge from

Any variation on authentication method & checking out produces the same result. It's like any other branches are invisible to the pipeline.

Is this expected? What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

I was able to reproduce the error locally. The culprit is the parameter `--depth`. Specifying `depth: full` on bitbucket-pipelines.yml should fix, but then this applies to all steps. I need to do this only in a single step.

Here is the solution on step level.

- step:
  script:
    - git fetch --unshallow
    - git config remote.origin.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*"
    - git fetch origin
    - git checkout --track origin/master

I've found this on link

Also, there is the issue created for defining clone depth per pipeline

[Sasa Jovanovic]

Specifying `depth: full` also work for me,

Thank you Andre

where do you set this?

This is an example:

clone:
  depth: full
  
pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        name: Cloning
        script:
          - echo "Clone all the things!"
