Trigger bitbucket pipeline manual step using API

[Tim Myerscough]

Hi

As part of my Bitbucket Pipeline, I want to invoke a long running asynchronous process (external to BitBucket).  Once complete, if successful, it would promote the build

My pipeline:

pipelines: 
  default: 
  - step: 
      name: Deploy to test 
      script: 
       - yarn install 
       - yarn run deploy:test 
       - yarn run deploy:verify # triggers asynchronous process
  - step: 
      name: Verify Deploy 
      trigger: manual 
      script: 
      - yarn run deploy:post-verify 
  - step: 
      name: Deploy to prod 
      script: 
      - yarn install 
      - yarn run deploy:prod

Can I trigger the `Verify Deploy` stage from code?

I've gotten this to work using the Bitbucket API.  The API call used was:

curl -X POST -is -u '$USERNAME:$PASSWORD' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/$USERNAME/$REPONAME/pipelines/ \
  -d '{
  "target": {
  "selector": {
  "type": "custom",
  "pattern": "hello"
  },
  "type": "pipeline_ref_target",
  "ref_name": "master",
  "ref_type": "branch"
  }
 }'

The bitbucket-pipelines.yml file was:

pipelines: 
  custom: 
    hello: 
      - step: 
         script: 
           - echo "Hello world!"

Hi Andrew,

What are the values for the $USERNAME:$PASSWORD ?

Where can I get them ?

Thanks

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-21281 this is a better feature request, although directed at Bamboo, but the solution and behaviour expected is actually the same for Bitbucket Pipelines.

Which I gratefully share here as well.

Yikes! Four years on and the feature request is still sitting there. I guess this is just Atlassian being Atlassian.

PUSH, also need this!!!
