An example of how to have Buildkite pipelines trigger other pipelines

Buildkite Dependent Pipeline Example

This repository is an example Buildkite pipeline that shows how to trigger another build pipeline from within a pipeline using the Create Build API.

There are two example steps:

• non_blocking.sh - this creates anoter build and returns a success
• blocking.sh - this creates a build and waits for it to finish. The step will pass only if the other build passes.

Environment variables

These steps require the following environment variables to be set:

• TRIGGER_API_ACCESS_TOKEN - a Buildkite API access token with write_builds and read_builds access
• TRIGGER_ORG_SLUG - the slug of the org
• TRIGGER_PIPELINE_SLUG - the slug of the pipeline
• TRIGGER_COMMIT - the commit for the build (e.g. HEAD)
• TRIGGER_BRANCH - the branch for the build (e.g. master)
• TRIGGER_MESSAGE - the message for the build (e.g. Oh hai :wave:)
