We had azure pipeline which use to work, but recently the PR trigger are not working.
Hence, I deleted webhooks from github repo. I created new service account and new pipeline with new service account. However, it does not seem to recreate webooks in github.
any thoughts?
Which model are you using, classic editor build or YAML build?
If you are using YAML build, we could select GitHub as source.
And we could specify the target branches when validating your pull requests. For example, to validate pull requests that target master and releases/*, you can use the following pr trigger.
pr:
- master
- releases/*
If you are using classic editor build. We could select the Pull request validation trigger and check the Enable pull request validation check box to enable builds on pull requests. Check the pic below.
We could refer to this doc for more details.

I have a bitbucket repository.
I want pipelines in AzureDevops to build sources when i make a pull request in Bitbucket.
I set up PR trigger in yaml files.
But it did not work when i made a pull request.
I tried to run the pipeline manually, it worked and succeeded.
I guess, bitbucket could not send a message to azure when pull requests are made.
How to set up connection Bitbucket with AzureDevOps?
Integration between BitBucket Cloud and Azure Pipelines:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/repos/bitbucket?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml
You can specify the target branches when validating your pull requests. For example, to validate pull requests that target master and releases/*, you can use the following pr trigger.
pr:
- master
- releases/*
This configuration starts a new run the first time a new pull request is created, and after every update made to the pull request.
If I make a pull request in ADO from one of my branches then any commits I push to my branch automatically trigger the build pipeline:
This is configured in the build validation branch policies on master:
But for draft pull requests I need to trigger builds manually:
The documentation (here) does not mention any distinction between active and draft pull requests. How do I configure my project so that commits to branches in a draft pull requests automatically trigger a build?
According to the docs:
Draft pull requests do not include reviewers or run builds by default
but allow you to manually add reviewers and run builds. To promote the
pull request to a normal pull request, simply click the Publish button
from the pull request detail page.
So, it looks like you experience the expected behavior.
I have recently started using Jenkins Pipelines and have a multibranch job configured which is happily picking up Jenkinsfile on one of my branches.
I have seen in screenshots on posts\articles that Jenkins can report back to pull requests in GitHub the status of whether the branch has passed\failed checks performed in the pipeline.
I am not seeing any such feedback for my pull request I have opened, I can see in Jenkins it has triggered a pipeline build which has passed.
How can I get the notification to show the pipeline checks have passed in GitHub. Do I need to configure something else?
I found out this was simply down to me using the Git instead of GitHub sources option when configuring the multibranch pipeline job in Jenkins.
The docs for the GitHub Branch Source plugin gave me the clues!
I now get status messages on my pull requests showing whether pipeline checks are pending\failed\passed.
Check out the Github Pull Request Builder Plugin, it should do what you require: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/GitHub+pull+request+builder+plugin
How do you get VSTS to build when a PR is created in GitHub? I've tried several triggers in the VSTS build like refs/pull/*/merge and refs/pull/*/head. I have a build working when a commit is made to the master branch, but I can't get a build to trigger when a PR is created.
I get the following when a PR is created.
Also, the webhook history shows that a message was successfully posted to VSTS, but the build never starts.
The official Microsoft VSTS GitHub Integration extension now supports this directly.
I think it's the trigger. Try what's described in this blog post.
There is not an easy way to enable this today for PRs. It is on the VSTS feature backlog that we want to address soon.
The way to make it work today would be to do something like: add a webhook to call your own custom service endpoint. Within your service endpoint, you could then call into VSTS to queue a build, and the build would need a step to post success/fail back to GitHub.
In your custom service endpoint, you would need to make sure the user is authorized as a contributor on the GitHub repo.
On the new VSTS UI you can find it in Build Edit -> Triggers:
It looks like the GitHubPullRequestBuilder is not compatible with Jenkins v2.0 pipeline jobs.
How do you configure a pipeline job to be triggered from a GitHub pull request event?
The documentation on this topic is sparse and I cannot find any examples of this. Or is it better to create a web-hook in GitHub to trigger the pipeline job on the PR event?
I had similar issue. Here’s what worked for me
Pre-req
Jenkins ver. 2+ (I was using Jenkins 2.60)
Github (or Githhub
enterprise) account
Your github and Jenkins must be able to talk to
each other.
On Github
create a github Personal Access Token (PAT) with relevant rights.
For your repo, create a webhook with
URL as YourJenkinsURL/github-webhook/
Choose ‘Let me select individual events’ and check ‘Pull Request’
Add a Jenkinsfile to the root folder of your repo. For testing purpose you could put content as a basic hello world like below
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Test') {
steps {
echo 'Hello World ...'
}
}
}
}
On Jenkins
Install GitHub Pull Request Builder plugin. (You also need “Github” plugin but that should normally be installed as part of Jenkins ver 2+)
Jenkins – Credentials
Add github Personal Access Token (PAT) as a ‘secret text’ credential.
Add github username-password as ‘username-password’ credential.
Manage Jenkins – Configure System
Github – Github Servers : This is part of the Github plugin. Add a github server. ‘API URL’ It will default to https://api.github.com. If you are using enterprise github, replace with enterprise github url followed by /api/v3. For credential select the PAT option. Test the connection. ‘Manage Hooks’ is checked.
GitHub Pull Request Builder : for ‘GitHub Server API URL’ use same url as specified in Github Server section. Leave ‘Shared Secret’ blank. For credentials use ‘username-password’ credential. Test credentials to ensure its working. In my settings, ‘Auto-manage webhooks’ was checked.
Pipeline Job
Create a new item using ‘Pipeline’ option. Note: This is the vanilla Pipeline job, not Multibranch Pipeline.
General Section: Check ‘Github Project’ – Project URL : Enter your github repo url
Build Triggers: Check ‘GitHub Pull Request Builder’
For ‘GitHub API credentials’ select option you set for GitHub pull request builder in ‘Manage Jenkins – Configure System’ screen
For admin list: add your username
Check Use github hooks for build triggering
Pipeline:
Select ‘Pipeline Script from SCM’. Note this assumes that the root folder of your repo will contain a ‘Jenkinsfile’
SCM: Select ‘Git’
Repositories – enter repo detail. For credentials use ‘username-password’ based credentials.
Click Advanced and add refspec as +refs/pull/*:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*
Branch – should be ${sha1}
Script Path: defaulted to Jenkinsfile, leave as is.
Lightweight Checkout - Uncheck this (https://github.com/jenkinsci/ghprb-plugin/issues/507)
That’s it. You are all set. Creating a PR on master branch of your repo should now trigger your Jenkins Pipeline job
Some observations
Redelivering the webhook payload of a PR from github does not trigger the pipeline but opening a new PR or even re-opening a closed PR on github, triggers the pipeline job
In Pipeline Job Configuration, if you choose “Pipeline Script” and paste your pipeline script in there, the job doesn't trigger !!!
The flow in a nutshell can go like this:
You create your pipeline as code and save it in a file called Jenkinsfile at the root dir of your project. That code should describe how your project will get built. See here for examples: https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/examples/
Then you should create a new "Multibranch Pipeline Project" item in your Jenkins. You should set this up so as to scan your repo of step 1.
Now whenever you get a new PR branch opened on your step 1 repo, the branch will be checked-out and will get built according to the Jenkinsfile instructions included with it. You can set up more conditions on what gets built and when if you want to.
Notes:
"Multibranch Pipeline Project" example documentation: https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline-as-code/ (scroll down to Multibranch Pipeline Projects)
Keep in mind that getting the plugin to build a PR after commending on the PR does not work. There is a discussion analyzing this here: https://github.com/jenkinsci/gitlab-plugin/issues/298 There are workarounds (also described in that discussion) but they are quite messy to set up.
The most straightforward way to use Pipeline with GitHub pull requests is to put the script into your repository under the name Jenkinsfile and then install the GitHub Branch Source plugin. Documentation
Follow the Below Steps for Triggering Jenkins Job Automatically on Pull request generated on GitHub
Create a web hook on GitHub i.e. http:///generic-
webhook-trigger/invoke
Content Type :application/json
Select Pull Request as event Now github Configuration Part is done.
Jenkins Job Configuration
Download Generic Webhook Trigger in Jenkins
