Hi there 
For context, the problem that I am trying to solve, is having a Drone build that is comprised of several pipelines:
- Some pipelines are triggered on the regular PR/push to master workflow.
- Some that I want to trigger via API, with granularity of a specific pipeline.
So far, I was able to put together a Drone config that allows me to differentiate between the regular builds and the API triggered ones, but I was not able to figure out from the documentation if its possible to trigger a specific pipeline (skipping the other ones).
For reference, I am using Drone v1.9.1. This is a sample Drone config:
---
kind: pipeline
type: docker
name: example pipeline
platform:
os: linux
arch: amd64
steps:
- name: build event
image: alpine
commands:
- echo $DRONE_BUILD_EVENT
trigger:
event:
exclude:
- custom
---
kind: pipeline
type: docker
name: custom trigger
platform:
os: linux
arch: amd64
steps:
- name: build event
image: alpine
commands:
- echo $DRONE_BUILD_EVENT
trigger:
event:
- custom
---
kind: pipeline
type: docker
name: api-driven-pipeline-b
platform:
os: linux
arch: amd64
steps:
- name: build event
image: alpine
commands:
- echo $DRONE_BUILD_EVENT
- name: inspect envvars
image: alpine
commands:
- echo "CUSTOM_DRONE_ENVVAR=${CUSTOM_DRONE_ENVVAR}"
trigger:
event:
- custom
...
Pushing to main:
Running drone build create my-org/my-repo:
TL;DR: How can I trigger a specific pipeline (in a multiple pipeline build) via the API?
hey there, sorry, this capability is not currently supported.
