How can I use Runner with BITBUCKET_ACCESS_TOKEN?

Question

I'm trying to run the Runner with the BITBUCKET_ACCESS_TOKEN variable as described in option 3, like in kustomize:

1. https://bitbucket.org/bitbucketpipelines/runners-autoscaler/src/master/kustomize/values/kustomization.yaml

But I am getting the following error:

✖ At least one authorization method of (BITBUCKET_USERNAME, BITBUCKET_APP_PASSWORD) or (BITBUCKET_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID, BITBUCKET_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET) required.

I saw that this option is allowed for use in version 3.5 code but the validator does not allow using this option.

Does anyone know if there is any way to get past this or if this is on the Roadmap?

Hello @Erick Dzadotz ,

thank you for reaching out to Community!

The autoscaler tool only currently supports basic authentication (username and app password) and OAuth (client Id and Secret). This is described more in detail in the Authorization section of the runners-auto-scaler README file.

I understand it would be great to also support access tokens for the authentication, so I went ahead and raised a feature request with your development team :

* https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-23004

Feel free to add your Vote there, as it helps our product managers to understand the demand for the feature. You can also set yourself as a watcher so you will be notified whenever there's any update on that feature.

Thank you, @Erick Dzadotz !
