Can we use same branch name twice on a bitbucket pipeline file?

[Aashish41]

I have a bitbucket pipeline file as below;

pipelines:

    branches:

      dev:

        - step:

            name: Test1

            script:

              - echo "Test"  

      dev:

        - step:

            name: Test2

            script:

              - echo "Test"

 When the pipeline is triggered only first step runs i.e. Test1 but Test2 doesn't. Is there any way that I can use same branch name twice?

Hi @Aashish41 and welcome to the community!

I don't believe that this is possible, however, a pipeline for a certain branch can have multiple steps.

If you want to execute both steps when a commit is pushed to dev branch, you can modify your bitbucket-pipelines.yml file as follows:

pipelines:
  branches:
    dev:
      - step:
          name: Test1
          script:
            - echo "Test" 
      - step:
          name: Test2
          script:
            - echo "Test"

Is this what you are looking for?

Kind regards,
Theodora

Hi @Theodora Boudale , Thank you for your response.

I have already opted using multiple steps for a single branch. I just wanted to know if it is possible to use same branch multiple times. Unfortunately, it is not possible.

Anyway your response was helpful for me. 

Have a great day !
