Tekton PipelineRun (Run Request)

A Tekton PipelineRun as a run request: a pipelineRef, params, timeouts and a workspace binding, with no status block. A completed run's status is a record of what happened and belongs with test-report fixtures, not with pipeline definitions.

What is a .yaml file?

YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-readable data-serialization format using indentation, key-value pairs, and lists, and is a superset of JSON. It supports comments, anchors, and multiple documents per file, favoring readability for configuration. Its indentation sensitivity makes it error-prone to hand-edit.

How to use this file

Use an example YAML file to test config parsers, indentation and anchor handling, multi-document streams, and safe-loading to avoid arbitrary object construction.

How to use this file for testing

“Tekton PipelineRun (Run Request)” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Config testing, Config parsing, Editor testing. TOML, INI, YAML, .env, and dotfile configuration samples with nested sections and typed values — for testing config parsers, loaders, and environment tooling.

Documented properties for this file: YAML · 755 bytes. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

Pipeline and infrastructure fixtures are inert configuration: steps reference fictional images and scripts, and nothing here executes. Run your linter, schema validator, migrator, or policy engine against them, and expect the deprecated-syntax and intentionally invalid variants to be rejected.

Point your config loader at the file and assert it reads the documented sections and typed values, including any deliberately-tricky nesting or comments.

Code examples

import yaml  # pip install pyyaml

with open("tekton-pipelinerun.yaml") as f:
    data = yaml.safe_load(f)
print(data)
