How to Manage Concurrent Pipeline Executions for the same PR?

[Adi Sasson]

Hello Bitbucket Team,

I am facing challenges with managing pipeline executions triggered by PRs across different repositories. I have two main concerns:

1. How can I automatically cancel a running pipeline associated with a PR when a new commit triggers another pipeline for the same PR?
2. How can I ensure that canceling a pipeline that triggered another pipeline (using the atlassian/trigger-pipeline pipe) also cancels the dependent pipeline in the other repository?

I need a way to link these pipeline lifecycles to improve efficiency and resource management. Is there a feature or method within Bitbucket that supports these requirements, or are there plans to introduce such functionality?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello @Adi Sasson ,

and welcome to the Community!

Bitbucket Pipelines does not natively support automatically canceling a running pipeline when a new commit triggers another pipeline for the same PR. I went ahead and created a feature request for this scenario:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-23526

As for canceling dependent pipelines that were triggered with atlassian/trigger-pipeline, Bitbucket does not automatically link the lifecycle of these pipelines, as such, canceling the initiating pipeline does not cancel the triggered pipeline. I've also raised a feature for this request : 

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-23527

I would suggest you to add your vote in those features, since this helps both developers and product managers to understand the interest. Also, make sure you add yourself as a watcher in case you want to receive first-hand updates from that ticket. Please note that all features are implemented with this policy in mind.

Thank you, @Adi Sasson !
