Buddy: pushes arrive but the pipeline never triggers

TL;DR

Set the pipeline trigger mode to On-push and check that the correct ref is selected, plus any trigger conditions on the pipeline. Fetching manually with the Clone repository from scratch option can unstick a broken mirror. If pushes appear in the activity stream but pipelines still are not triggered, the problem is pipeline settings in 99 percent of cases.

Fix

1. Set the pipeline trigger mode to On-push and check that the correct ref is selected, plus any trigger conditions on the pipeline. Expected: You see the expected output instead of the problem.

2. Fetching manually with the Clone repository from scratch option can unstick a broken mirror. Expected: You get the expected result; the problem is gone.

• You are setting up or using this Buddy feature.

Variant phrasings

pushes arrive but the pipeline never triggers

Why it happens

Commits land in the repo but Buddy does nothing. The failure is almost always in the pipeline trigger settings, not the integration.

Edge cases

• If your error message differs even slightly, this is probably a different issue; search the exact text.
• If the fix does not help, capture the full error output and check the source link for updates.

Verified resolution: [buddy.works docs]: if pushes appear in the activity stream but pipelines still are not triggered, the problem is pipeline settings in 99 percent of cases. Set the pipeline trigger mode to On-push and check that the correct ref is selected, plus any trigger conditions on the pipeline. If pushes do not appear at all, check the connection log under Integrations for webhook delivery, and verify the webhook exists and is healthy on the Git provider side. Fetching manually with the Clone repository from scratch option can unstick a broken mirror.
