Default branch in Bamboo spec is master for the repository.
At the time of Auto deployment trigger, Bamboo specs deploying master branch only, but sometimes even if default branch is updated to feature branch, I want to trigger master only.
I am able to set any feature branch other than master.
But I am not able to set master branch explicitly in Pipeline.java file.
It gives Bamboo Specs error stating "Scheduled trigger: Can't find triggering branch 'master'"

Description:
I am trying to have Github webhook to trigger my Jenkins job. I am successful in triggering the job using the Main branch but no success using other branches. I have a new branch called 'develop' but it does not trigger the job.
Current Setup:
In Jenkins, I am using Pipeline -> Pipeline Script from SCM.
Under SCM, My repository is defined and it can access Main branch pr
But when I change it to other branch like 'develop', It does not work.
Is there additional configuration to use other branches?
Apparently, the input is accepting Regular Expression. The initial specified branch is '*/master'. Therefore, I used '*/develop' to trigger my Jenkins job for develop branch
In Azure Devops, I have a repo that's in Bitbucket. I'd like to trigger a package publish on every approved pr that gets merged to the develop branch.
I've figured out how to conditionally run a task if the build is a pr or not, and how to trigger if the pr is to develop, but that means that the task is run for every PR created to develop. I'd like the task to only run when the pr has been merged to develop.
I noticed the following variables in my pipeline:
SYSTEM_PULLREQUEST_ISFORK=False
SYSTEM_PULLREQUEST_MERGEDAT=
SYSTEM_PULLREQUEST_PULLREQUESTID=139
SYSTEM_PULLREQUEST_PULLREQUESTNUMBER=139
SYSTEM_PULLREQUEST_SOURCEBRANCH=source-branch
SYSTEM_PULLREQUEST_SOURCECOMMITID=e55835e7e2e65ad87fd09a03959fefcfcc4d475f
SYSTEM_PULLREQUEST_SOURCEREPOSITORYURI=[repoURL]
SYSTEM_PULLREQUEST_TARGETBRANCH=develop
And the SYSTEM_PULLREQUEST_MERGEDAT= variable stood out. Anyone have suggestions? Am I overly complicating this?
It is possible to achieve this with just conditions. Let's say you were merging from feature branch to develop branch. And you only want a task to be executed when the pr has been merged to develop.
First of all you should know the default CI triggers and PR triggers for Bitbucket repository on Azure pipeline.
1, CI triggers
If you don't specify any triggers, the default is as if you wrote below, which means commit to any branch will trigger the pipeline.
trigger:
branches:
include:
- '*'
When you specify a trigger, it replaces the default implicit trigger, and only pushes to branches that are explicitly configured to be included will trigger a pipeline. Includes are processed first, and then excludes are removed from that list.
2, PR triggers
If no pr triggers appear in your YAML file, pull request validations are automatically enabled for all branches.
When you specify a pr trigger, it replaces the default implicit pr trigger, and only pushes to branches that are explicitly configured to be included will trigger a pipeline.
Each new run builds the latest commit from the source branch of the pull request. This is different from how Azure Pipelines builds pull requests in other repositories (e.g., Azure Repos or GitHub), where it builds the merge commit,
See the document for more information.
So if you don't specify any CI triggers or PR Triggers. The default behavior is to enable the triggers for all branches. And the PR triggers will only trigger the pipeline to build the last commit from the source branch(ie. Feature branch) instead of develop branch.
So it will explain why there are two triggered builds on an update to a pr. one is CI trigger(ie. IndividualCI), another is PullRequest. Both builds were against the source branch (ie.feature).
When the pr was merged to develop. what happened was a new commit being added to develop branch, which will trigger the CI build. So the task you want to trigger should be run against develop branch.
As for above case of yours. I suggest you disable the pr triggers and only enable the CI triggers.(for pr triggers will only build the latest commit from the source branch, which is the same with CI trigger. )
You can disable the pr trigger like below:
pr: none
So you can just set the condition like below for the task
- task: taskname
input:
condition: and(eq(variables['Build.SourceBranchName'], 'develop'), eq(variables['Build.Reason'], 'IndividualCI'))
You can also use Webhook to trigger the azure pipeline. And set the condtion to eq(variables['Build.Reason'], 'ResourceTrigger')
resources:
webhooks:
- webhook: bitbucketwebhook
connection: bitbucketwebhook

I've been migrating build/release pipelines in Azure DevOps to the unified YAML format. Everything works as expected apart from the work items which are associated with CI builds once a PR is merged to the master branch. Here is the workflow:
Developer raises PR to merge changes from feature branch into the master branch
The PR has a build policy which executes the YAML pipeline against a test environment
The PR is completed and the feature branch is merged into the master branch
The YAML pipeline has a CI trigger for deployments to higher environments
For step 2 the triggered build shows whichever work items are associated with the PR:
However, for Step 4 the triggered CI build lists all work items in the master branch rather than just those associated with the PR:
Is there a way to only associate the work items which are associated with the PR to the CI build which is triggered once the feature branch is merged into master?
I can reproduce this issue and I found a similar ticket, they have reported it, you could follow this ticket to get the latest news.
If the build status is queue or running, then we create a new build, the new build will contain before build link work item. This is why the step 4 the triggered CI build lists all work items in the master branch rather than just those associated with the PR.
If all builds are completed, then we complete the pull request to trigger the CI build, it will be associated with the expected work items.
When all the builds were completed, I merged the PR to trigger the CI build, it just contain the pull request link work item.
Test result
I'm setting up Azure DevOps pipeline for CI for a .NET Core 3.0 mvc project.
I've created a new branch, DEVOPS, that I would like to store the YAML file in. The file includes a trigger for changes to the master branch:
trigger:
- master
pool:
vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'
# other steps/tasks below...
I deleted all files except .gitignore and azure-pipelines.yml from the DEVOPS branch, committed it, and pushed it to origin (Az DevOps Repo).
I then switched to the master branch, deleted the azure-pipelines.yml file, committed, and pushed.
this did not trigger the pipeline
Then I made a change to one of the views in master, committed, and pushed.
this also did not trigger the pipeline
So, how can I configure Azure DevOps Pipelines to store the azure-pipelines.yml file in a branch other than master, and trigger on changes to master?
According to your operation steps and the YAML configuration, the build could not be triggered is reasonable.
Let's focus on the YAML configuration first. In you YAML definition, you set master as trigger branch. This means only changes occurred on master can trigger this build pipeline.
In your first action, you delete some files from DEVOPS branch. Then commit and push it into remotes/Origin. But, as what you defined in pipeline, this action could not trigger this pipeline. This is as expect.
Next, in master branch, you delete the azure-pipelines.yml file, then commit and push it. Note, at this time, the remote master branch has been sync with the local master branch. In one word, after you push to origin, no azure-pipelines.yml file exists in the master branch of Azure Devops.
BUT, whether the build can run depends on whether yml exists or not. Yeah, you have made some changes on master branch. But without yml file, the build could not be ran successfully. That's why you encountered the pipeline did not be triggered.
And, same reason for your next action.
How can I configure Azure DevOps Pipelines to store the
azure-pipelines.yml file in a branch other than master, and trigger on
changes to master?
Until now, this could not be achieve if what's your build definition type is YAML.
For the pipeline which definition type is YAML, to achieve what you expect, the yml file with the same configuration must also stored in the relevant branches which be defined in the pipeline.
Take the example you described in the question. If you only store the yml file in DEVOPS branch, no matter do any changes on master branch, it will never trigger the build.
To achieve trigger on changes to master, this yml file must also stored in master branch. So, the pre-condition of build pipeline which definition type is YAML can be triggered is, the yml file must also exists in the relevant branches if it is listed in the yml definition. This because, this build type can run based on the yml from source files.
I am trying to trigger a build on the master branch when a specific branch is merged into it i.e., To trigger a Jenkins pipeline build when a release branch is merged to the master branch.
What I am able to do is if any branch is merged to master, it is triggering the Jenkins build, but what I want is to build to be only triggered on release branch merges into master. For this I used Generic webhook trigger Plugin(GWT). Not sure if I can use Generic webhook trigger for specific branch merge into master.
I tried the following settings in Jenkins pipeline configuration using GWT plugin.
Optional Filter:
Expression - ^(refs/heads/master)$
This expression is working when I merge any branch into Master and triggering the build. But, I want the merge to happen just when a release branch is merged into Master.
You should use the
when
step in your pipeline. There you use the environment variable which contains you branch name from the generic webhook trigger plugin.
