Introducing step failure strategies in Bitbucket Pipelines
Feb 3, 2025Edmund Munday

Summary
This post introduces the 'Step Failure Strategies' feature for Bitbucket Pipelines, specifically the 'ignore' strategy. It allows individual steps to fail without causing the entire pipeline to fail, enabling more granular control over CI/CD workflows. The post details the configuration using the `on-fail` option with a `strategy` property, provides a code example, and describes visual updates in the UI to indicate ignored failures. Limitations include non-support for deployment steps and the inability to rerun ignored failed steps.
