4.9. Triggering a PipelineRun
Whenever a push event occurs in the Git repository, the configured Webhook sends an event payload to the publicly exposed EventListener service route. The EventListener service of the application processes the payload, and passes it to the relevant TriggerBindings and TriggerTemplates pair. The TriggerBinding extracts the parameters and the TriggerTemplate uses these parameters to create resources. This may rebuild and redeploy the application.
In this section, you push an empty commit to the front-end vote-ui repository, which then triggers the PipelineRun.
Procedure
From the terminal, clone your forked Git repository
vote-ui:$ git clone git@github.com:<your GitHub ID>/vote-ui.git -b release-tech-preview-2
Push an empty commit:
$ git commit -m "empty-commit" --allow-empty && git push origin release-tech-preview-2
Check if the PipelineRun was triggered:
$ tkn pipelinerun list
Notice that a new PipelineRun was initiated.
