How To: Selecting branch for cron activation

Overview

You want to run a pipeline on a specific branch as part of your cron job, but you’re unable to select in the trigger creation.

Details

Set up a separate cron-triggered pipeline as the parent pipeline. From this parent pipeline, use the codefresh-run step to run your original pipeline as a child build with a repository trigger and branch specified.

  1. Create a pipeline with the cron trigger you want to use.

  2. In this pipeline, add the following step:

     codeamlfresh-run:
   title: Run a codefresh pipeline
   type: codefresh-run:1.5.3
   arguments:
     PIPELINE_ID: <project-name/pip_name>
     TRIGGER_ID: <trigger-name>
     BRANCH: <branch-name>
  3. Repeat for all branches you wish to run.
