Bitbucket Pipelines share SOME steps between branches

TL;DR: Use YAML anchors: [code: definitions: steps: - step: &Test-step name: Run tests script: - npm install - npm run test - step: &Deploy-step name: Deploy to staging deployment: staging script: - npm install - npm run build - fab deploy pipelines: default: - step: Test-step - step: Deploy-step branches: master: - step: Test-step - step: <<: Deploy-step name: Deploy to production deployment: production trigger: manual ] Docs: YOUR_HOST.atlassian.com/bitbucket/yaml-anchors-960154027.html

Fix

Asked on Stack Overflow so:45558284: Stack Overflow #45558284 (score 49, accepted answer, 74 votes): Is it possible to share steps between branches and still run branch specific steps? For example, the develop and release branch has the same build process, but uploaded to separate S3 buckets.

[code: pipelines: default:

• step:

script:

• cd source
• npm install
• npm build

develop:

• step:

script:

• s3cmd put --config s3cmd.cfg ./build s3://develop

staging:

• step:

script:

• s3cmd put --config s3cmd.cfg ./build s3://staging ]

I saw this post ( Bitbucket Pipelines - multiple branches with same steps ) but it's The verified fix/answer: Use YAML anchors:

[code: definitions: steps:

• step: &Test-step

name: Run tests script:

• npm install
• npm run test
• step: &Deploy-step

name: Deploy to staging deployment: staging script:

• npm install
• npm run build
• fab deploy

pipelines: default:

• step: *Test-step
• step: *Deploy-step

branches: master:

• step: *Test-step
• step:

<<: *Deploy-step name: Deploy to production deployment: production trigger: manual ]
