Default value of custom variable is not picked up for builds triggered by git push

[mihai onoprienco]

regarding this feature:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Bitbucket-articles/Bitbucket-Pipelines-Predefine-values-of-custom-pipeline/ba-p/1938188

PROBLEM FOUND: the default value is not set when the pipeline is triggered by a new code push. The value ( default or the picked one ) is only set when the pipeline is manually triggered.

Below is a snippet from used pipeline:

pipelines:

  custom:

    compile-and-publish:

      - variables:          

          - name: profile

            default: dev

            allowed-values:

             - dev

             - prod

             - test

          - name: isGA

            default: 'no'

      - step: *compile

Hi Mihai,

Variables defined this way are available only for custom pipelines:

• https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/pipeline-start-conditions/#Custom--manual--pipeline-variables

Custom pipelines do not get triggered automatically when you do a git push, so I'm a bit confused about the problem you are reporting.

Have you perhaps defined such variables in a pipeline other than custom, e.g. a branch pipeline or the default pipeline?

Kind regards,
Theodora
