[Help wanted] Trigger manually

[Pasupathi-Rajamanickam]

I searched all issues and documents, I don't find answer. I see few PR test has not been started. How do I manually trigger for new PR number. For existing on which was already ran, I can retry the build. For new PR if the pipeline not started how could I start one?

@PasupathiRajamanickam can you show us what you've tried, the actual YAML of the pipeline?

I experience this as well. No matter how long I wait, it just won't start building some PRs:

It's been like this for days.

[jtarchie]

And are you you using version: every?

[jacob-hd]

We were not!

I just applied version: every to the get:

   - get: app-catalog-gateway
     resource: pull-request
     trigger: true
+    version: every

...and re-triggered a check, but it did not help. I'm going to uninstall and re-install the pipeline, and hope that solves it...

[jtarchie]

yeah you have to do that. Concourse does not trigger every after it has already detected versions.

[jacob-hd]

Got it, thanks @jtarchie !

@jtarchie -

Even after deleting and re-set'ing the entire pipeline:

It still will not run some of the PRs:

😢

Evidently, after 15 minutes, they all kicked off at once:

This is incredibly confusing to me. It checked the resource at least 15 times before it finally kicked them off..

But, at least it's doing it now.

For me some times when I retry Build 10 -> pointing PR 405 on 4th may
The retried build pointing to PR 415
Confusing

[jacob-hd]

This issue is recurring insidiously for us, even after applying version: every. It may be unrelated to this resource, and an issue with Concourse itself.

I've documented the issue further here:

The issue includes our full pipeline for scrutiny.
