Bitbucket: How to enable pipelines for continuous integration - bitbucket

I am new to Bitbucket (I just created my account). And I would like to test their continuous integration tool pipelines. I have uploaded my source code to my account. But I can't see how I can activate this feature. There is an icon at the left navigation pane that says "Pipelines (New)". When I click it, it takes me to a blank screen. And then nothing happens.
My account is a free account (for test purpose for now). But this stackoverflow answer says that even free accounts should have pipelines enabled.
From my settings, I don't see a setting to enable pipelines.
Is there something I am missing?

August 2022:
I had the same problem, seems that you can't use the pipeline feature if you don't have two factor authentication.
go to two step verification, do all the steps, and then you can just use the pipeline.
You can see the settings in:
Repository settings => scroll all the way down to "pipelines" =>
press the "Settings"
And you'll get to this screen:
Or go directly to:
https://bitbucket.org/user-name/repo-name/admin/addon/admin/pipelines/settings

You'll need to pop out the sidebar on the left and then there should be a pipelines icon there:

Jenkins “Keep this build forever” button is missing

I am an admin on our Jenkins master but, this button is not available for any builds for any user.
I found this question which has a somewhat relevant answer since we are also using Matrix-based security, however no one has this button showing up on any build
Is there a plugin required to have this feature available?
My version isJenkins ver. 2.105
Keep forever option appears only when relevant, meaning only if you opt in on other option Discard old builds. If not it's irrelevant see jenkins users answer
option only appears if you have chosen to Discard Builds
from the config for the job. (i.e. if you have chosen not to discard
any builds have a certain time/build number, then the button won't
show).

Where is the Blue Ocean pipeline editor?

Where is the pipeline editor located within the Blue Ocean Jenkins plugin?
I can see my pipeline jobs, and when clicking into these I cant see any links\buttons that take me to the editor.
I'm sure in previous beta releases I could get to it, but now since the official release has been launched which I am now using, I cannot find it.
Anyone know where it's hiding?
Use following url to open the pipeline editor:
http://<host>:<port>/jenkins/blue/organizations/jenkins/pipeline-editor/
In addition to Prashant Kajale's answer, you can edit a specific item with
[Url of Jenkins]/blue/organizations/jenkins/pipeline-editor/[item-name]
Edit: According to the issue tracker, saving doesn't work with none-github repositories. You have to go to [Url of Jenkins]/blue/organizations/jenkins/pipeline-editor/ and open the load/save dialog with Ctrl+S, paste you Jenkinsfile (if you have one yet), edit it, and then save it manually by using Ctrl+S and copy.
It is hidden and does not show up until you hover over. I suppose simply a bad UI
design.
Open Blue Ocean from a job.
Select a branch from Branches.
Hover over to the right and buttons will show up.
Select "Edit" and the editor will open.
There is an open bug where the editor links do not display when the job is moved to a folder.
https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-46441
There is two possible reasons why the pipeline editor button isn't showing, either you're not logged in as a user or you're pipeline project is not into github repository.
Blue ocean doesn't support yet generating pipelines with blueocean-pipeline-editor-plugin when your SCM is bitbucket or gitlab or any other git tool.
The good news is that we will have editor support for Bitbucket and plain Git (which will include Gitlab) in our 1.3 release soon.
You can find more details about this issue here
In the Blue Ocean pipeline view, there's a pencil icon on the upper right that lets you edit. So if you click an entry under the Activity tab, if you click any run of the job it will take you to this (green indicates a successful run):
An example URL for a pipeline named my-pipeline would be:
http://localhost:8080/blue/organizations/jenkins/my-pipeline/detail/jenkins/1/pipeline
After installing Jenkins (either for Windows or Linux), you will need to install the plugin for Blue Ocean:
https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/blueocean/getting-started/
How To Use Blue Ocean and edit an existing pipeline
After installing Blue Ocean and creating a small pipeline, you should be able to see this context menu:
Then, you will see your pipeline in a new "dashboard". Click on the row for the pipeline you need to work on:
You will get another "dashboard" looking screen. Editing is done from the configuration button (the gear icon) on the top menu:
This will take you to the Classic UI look, click on the Pipeline tab:
This is a complicated UI that either is designed to dissuade you not to use it or is in a desperate need for a redesign, in my opinion.

Can't find pipeline editor anymore

I have the Blue ocean beta plugin installed and cannot find the pipeline editor. Where should it be? I have the latest version of the plugin installed, I'm sure it used to be an obvious button you could click on when going to the blue ocean view, but it's not there for me anymore.
I encountered the same problem and posted a question in the Cloudbees Community. One of the Cloudbees engineers responded with this:
"At the moment you can only edit Pipelines that have been created through the "New Pipeline" flow.
However, we are going to restore a general link to access the editor as part of our "Pipeline Playgrounds" work. You can follow progress by logging in to Jenkins JIRA and watching JENKINS-43118."
In the JENKINS-43118 JIRA ticket, there is a comment that says
"We want to restore the link to the "Pipeline Playground" mode of the editor in a less obtrusive place.
This was lost as the editor and creation was merged together"
So, essentially I think this was a regression.
Another comment in the ticket mentions that the editor can still be invoked with a URL like "http://localhost:8080/jenkins/blue/organizations/jenkins/pipeline-editor/". ( I think you would insert the project name for the second "jenkins"). And then, supposedly, you can use keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl/Cmd-S to do the Save since the button isn't there anymore. I tried this, but things still appear to be broken, so I think we're out of luck until this JIRA issue is resolved. Too bad.

build now option is not coming for job in jenkins

I am new user to jenkins. My jenkins version is 1.594. When we got the confirmation from jenkins team about onboarding the jenkin job, i did not find the build now option for the job.
I just bumped into the same problem, but none of the mentioned solutions worked. I had created a new job using the Copy from functionality. I was then sent to the job configuration page. I left this page without pressing Save or Apply, and the Build now link did not appear. I then went back to the configuration page, pressed Save, and the Build with parameters link became visible.
Add one more possible answer:
Under some circumstances, you may automatically logout and stay at the same page(no button available), try login again fixed my problem...
Build now option does not come in either of the below reasons:
Project might be disabled. Please enable it or ask the concerned team to enable it.
You do not have enough permission to build the project. Please raise the concerned permission.
You can choose "This build is parameterized" in configure and add a dummy Boolean parameter, check default value.
Then you will get a build button
Another reason why "build now" might not appear is if your Jenkins couldn't find your Jenkinsfile. Scan your project and check the log.
If you find a line that says 'Jenkinsfile' not found, then that's your problem. Check the git repo and make sure the file is there and make sure there isn't a typo in the name.
In my case, I had accidentally hit the red X on Behaviors (under Branch Sources with a multi-branch pipeline). The default behavior "Discover branches" should be there. You can put it back by choosing the Add option below.

How do you edit Lab Process Settings in a Lab Management template?

Everytime I try to edit the Lab Process Settings in a lab management template in Visual Studio 2013, I get the following error:
Has anyone seen this appearing? I tried creating a new build definition targeting the same template, but the error appears again.
OS: Windows 8.
VS: 2013 Update 2
You are most likely running TFS update 3 which changed the back-end of TFS to create work items for both the Test Plan and Test Suites now. There is something odd going on in your project, it may be that you have not "enabled" the features on the project so those things are done behind the scene.
To verify this, go the TFS portal and click on the little gear in the right hand corner, then click the control panel link (up top left) and select the project you are working under and finally select Manage the project administration page and click the overview tab. Is there an "enable features" button there?
If you go the home page of you project and click the little question mark on the top right corner and select about, what version do you have there?
You have changed the Process template to have the state "In progress" rather than "In Progress" and the default configuration is choking. If you go through your process template and make sure that the casing is correct ("In Progress") your issue should go away.
