Hi, fairly sure my indentation is correct, but I’m getting this error on a pipeline build, but I have type present, as shown in the error itself, does “missing type” mean something else? `fatal: Failed to upload and process pipeline: Pipeline upload rejected: Step is missing a type `{“key”:“contract\_test”,“label”:“Upload Contract Test”,“pipe-gen”:{“args”:{“pact\_file\_path”:“pacts/\*.json”},“type”:“step/pactflow-upload-consumer”},“depends\_on”:[“run\_tests”]}` ---

Hello, @mellis! Welcome to the Buildkite Community! You’re getting the error regarding the step type as Buildkite expects one of the currently supported 6 [step types](https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/defining-steps#step-types) - command, wait, block, input, trigger, or group step. So your config should start with something like `{"step":"command"...` . For more precise troubleshooting, I’d need more context of your pipline configuration. You can send it to [support@buildkite.com](mailto:support@buildkite.com) Best!
