Custom Bitbucket Runner - Error using stages in bitbucket-pipeline.yml

[Chad Greenburg]

I have a custom Bitbucket Runner running on an EC2 instance in AWS. It's a Linux Docker runner. I've noticed that I can't use stages in my bitbucket-pipeline.yml file. When I add a stage, commit, and push, the resulting pipeline errors with `Unexpected response body`. Has anyone else noticed this?

Hi @Chad Greenburg and welcome to the community!

I've never come across this issue while using stages with a Linux Docker runner; I would like to ask for some additional info, so we can better help you:

1. Where exactly does this error show? Is it in a build's build log? Or somewhere else?
2. Can you post here the content of your bitbucket-pipelines.yml file? You can sanitize any private/sensitive info prior to sharing and even remove the commands from each step's script, I would just like to see the structure and indentation in the bitbucket-pipelines.yml file.
3. What version of the Linux Docker Runner are you using?

Kind regards,
Theodora

After reading your second point, I found that the indentation was incorrect. I didn't double indent the everything under "- stage:". Thanks for your help, this issue is fixed.

Without that indentation this is what I was receiving. The validate pipeline page said the yml was fine so I didn't even think about indentation.

That's good to hear Chad, thank you for the update.

I will look into the issue with the validator and bring it up to the appropriate team.

Please feel free to reach out if you ever need anything else!

Kind regards,
