Hey, I am trying to run pipelines using templates but all builds stuck at pending. I am new with the templates option, it worked for me for a while until suddenly all template pipelines are stuck at pending. The weird thing is, that when running the same pipeline exactly not from template- it works fine.

Hi @natali let me check the possible reasons for this issue and get back to you. Thanks! ---

Hi @natali can you check this link? you can get some solution from here: [Drone hangs when using templates - Drone](https://discourse.drone.io/t/drone-hangs-when-using-templates/9709) Thanks! ---

Tried to add “—” as they mentioned in the end, but still pending. * * * kind: template load: test.yaml ---

Hi @natali can you share the template that you are using along with `.drone.yml` file? Thanks! ---

It also happend with other pipelines, so I made a very basic pipeline just to test templates issue The template is: ```auto kind: pipeline type: kubernetes name: default-test steps: - name: test image: alpine commands: - echo "hey" ``` and .drone.yml is: ```auto --- kind: template load: test.yaml ``` ---

I tested it now with another repo which haven’t been activated before to make a clean start, and in the other repo the same template works. But still when trying to run on first repo it stuck at pending. Is there something that might prevent templates on specific repo? since running regular pipelines on that repo works fine ---

@natali usually templates are attached to the organization so you might possibly get an error if you tried to use a template from a different organization. Thanks!
