Hi there,
I’m encountering problem when triggering a pipeline by v2 API endpoint, which returns error message of “Branch not found” with 400 status code. My goal is to setup a mono-repo with services in individual directories and triggering the workflow only when the services are modified. Thanks to the discussion forums , I found some helpful discussions and explanation which give me great heads up.
Here is a simpler version of the config snippet
version: 2.1
parameters:
trigger:
type: boolean
default: true
service1:
type: boolean
default: false
service2:
type: boolean
default: false
jobs:
trigger_pipelines:
...
steps:
- checkout
- run:
name: trigger service workflow if modified
command: |
// Filter the modified service
...
// trigger modified service workflow
curl -u "${CIRCLE_TOKEN}:" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d "{\"branch\": \"$CIRCLE_BRANCH\", \"parameters\": {...} }" \
https://circleci.com/api/v2/project/gh/org/repo/pipeline
workflows:
version: 2
analysis:
when: << pipeline.parameters.trigger >>
jobs:
- trigger_pipelines
service1:
when: << pipeline.parameters.service1 >>
...
service2:
when: << pipeline.parameters.service2 >>
...
The default workflow(analysis) was triggered from a forked Pull Request (I switch on the setting Build forked pull requests) which created a pull/1 branch on the CircleCI server. However, when the changes of service1 workflow was detected and triggered by the POST /pipeline endpoint, I got the error message “Branch not found” in the build step terminal. I also tried to try to POST the endpoint through postman to ensure the branch value equals to pull/1 but the same error remained. I was wondering if I missed something in the document. Thanks for your patience to read the post!
