Hi,
I am trying to create a Jenkins Job that automate the creation of Repository in Bitbucket.
I am facing issues with switching default branch using the REST API-
When I call the API with GET- I am receiving the correct value, but when I try to use the POST for setting value, I don't get any errors, but the default branch is not set.
This is what I try to call-
curl --user <user>:<password> -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{ "id": "<New branch>" }' -X POST https://<host>/rest/api/1.0/projects/<Project key>/repos/<repo name>/branches/default
Hey Eyal_Goren,
The short answer is that you're using the wrong HTTP verb - you should be using PUT, not POST.
More generally, in REST API semantics POST is typically used for creating new resources (e.g. the API to create a branch uses POST), whereas PUT is used for updating existing resources (e.g. in this case, where we're changing the default branch but not creating anything new).

It looks like the v2 API doesn't work to set the branch at all:
curl ... https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/harisekhon/devops-bash-tools -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X PUT -d '{"mainbranch": { "name": "somexistingbranch", "type": "branch" } }'
returns a 200 OK but doesn't change the default branch.
This looks like a bug?
