Builds not triggered when merging a "build" branch into a "not build" branch
I have a situation where I specify which branches I want to be built, generally this has been working as expected. A few weeks ago I noticed that builds were not always starting on these branches and it appeared there was no reason as to why they shouldn't start. After some digging today, I found what I think is a bug either with AppVeyor or Bitbucket (I'm not sure exactly where the responsibility lies).
If you push a branch, lets call it feature-a, that
is not in the list of branches to build, no build is triggered. Now
if merge, without creating a new commit, a branch that triggers
building (master for example) into the
feature-a branch and push it, a build is not
triggered. If I make some changes and commit directly to the
master branch, builds get triggered properly.
This behaviour is rather frustrating as I effectively have to make a commit after merging when a lot of the time it makes no sense to do this.
I hope this all makes sense

Hi James,
What's going on here is that when you do merge branch "A" into "B" and then push BitBucket calls project webhook and tells "There was a push to branch B", but "B" is configured to skip builds. BitBucket webhook (and GH one too, AFAIK) does not contain the information that the push was a result of branch "A" merged into "B".
Maybe this functionality could be available as part of BitBucket Pull Requests (which are currently not supported by AV).
You can just allow builds for "B".
