Jfrog pipelines throws an error duing sync after step type is updated

Question

I created a pipeline source (by following the Jfrog pipeline developer docs for steps) which had a step of type jenkins

- name: firstStep
    type: Jenkins

I synced my pipeline source and the sync was successful

Later I updated the step type to be a bash step

- name: firstStep
    type: bash

After this change, the pipeline sync fails with the error below:

type cannot be updated from Jenkins to Bash in step firstStep

What am I missing here?

Answer 1

After a step is created and synced successfully, the type of that step cannot be changed. This is not supported. Please refer the document: JFrog Pipeline Steps for more information

If you still want the step type to be Bash then may be you can rename the step name, it will be added as a new step and the old step with name firstStep will be deleted.
