Current behavior:

version: 2.1

commands:
  run-me:
    steps:
      - my-step:
          command: |
            echo 1

workflows:
  build-1:
    when: |
      pipeline.event.name == "pull_request"
    jobs:
      - run-me

Run circleci config validate, here is the reported error

Error: config compilation contains errors: config compilation contains errors:
        - Error calling workflow: 'build-1'
        - Error evaluating workflow filter expression:
        - Referred to a variable "pipeline.event.name" that does not exist:
        - pipeline.event.name == "pull_request"
        - ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Expected behavior:

The config should pass validation

When did this begin / Was this previously working?:

IDK just started to use pipeline.event.name pipeline variable

Additional Information:

This variable is documented in https://circleci.com/docs/github-trigger-event-options/#supported-trigger-options, but not in pipeline value table.

CircleCI dashboard didn't error out this variable.

We are experiencing exactly the same issue trying to use new CircleCI GH PR triggers.

Just a heads up to folks seeing this issue - we've just recently introduced these new pipeline values to help provide more context around what events triggered said pipelines. This is going to be increasingly important as we start to open up to more and more event types from not on GitHub but from other integration points.

My team has created a ticket to address ensuring the CLI is able to operate with these new values and we'll be picking this work up as soon as possible.

Howdy folks, this should now be live in production. You can get the latest version of the CLI through brew upgrade circleci.

I'm going to close this issue for now, but if you experience any further issues then feel free to re-open!
