Running the automated tests on self hosted runner in windows 11

[Sandeep.Dash]

I currently have automated tests running in bitbucket cloud inside the container with custom docker images passed to it from a yml file. How do i run the same tests on self hosted runner on windows 11

Hi Sandeep,

If you're looking to run your builds inside Docker containers, I'm afraid that Docker-based runners are not available for Windows. Windows runners use PowerShell to run pipeline steps on your Windows machine (host device):

• https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/runners/
• https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/set-up-runners-for-windows/

You can build Docker images during the Pipelines build (as long as Docker is installed on the host device), but the builds will run directly on the host and not inside Docker containers.

If you want your builds to run inside Docker containers with a self-hosted runner, you can look into using our Linux Docker runners on a Linux machine:

Kind regards,
Theodora
