Desired: Run a pipeline on a specified branch

[tahir-wasim]

Currently we have an endpoint to which you can make a POST request: POST /project/:project_slug/pipeline. This runs a pipeline on a default branch. Is it possible to run a pipeline on a specified branch, using the 1.1 structure? eg. POST /project/:project_slug/tree/:branch/pipeline

You can include a payload on the v2 post request like this:

{“branch”: “feature/foo”}

And that will trigger a pipeline for the branch you name instead of the default branch.

I'm not sure why this isn't showing on GitHub, but I checked on our current cloud environment, and it indeed works as intended for my test repo. The exact request I'm sending is this:

curl -i -H Circle-Token\:\ -H Accept\:\ application/json -H Content-Type\:\ application/json -XPOST https\://circleci.com/api/v2/project/github/sulami/cci-test/pipeline -d {' '\ \ \"branch\"\:\ \"foobar\"\,' '}' '

Sorry about the crazy escaping, this code is generated, but I confirmed it works if you just paste it into a shell.

Are you sure it will trigger on a specific branch? that doesn't work for me and it's always triggering the default branch — You are receiving this because you commented.
