Interact by Passing Commands to Pipelines Service Container

[Deleted user]

Hi there, 

I've spent ages googling and looking at all of the documentation I can find and I need some help so I'm calling in the big guns and posting on the forums :). 

I am using a terraform image for 99% of my pipeline but there is one command I need the aws cliv2 for. I was hoping to use that image as a service container butevery configuration I try ends with the same error 

"aws: error: the following arguments are required: command"

in all of the documentation I've seen this seems like it should work in theory and I am just making a silly syntax mistake somewhere... any guidance would be much appreciated here 

I've pasted the relevant bitbucket-pipelines.yml snippets below. 

image: hashicorp/terraform

pipelines:
  default:
        - step:
            name: New Code Detected
            services:
                - aws-cli
            script:
                - echo "New code pushed to ${BITBUCKET_BRANCH}"
                - aws-cli aws help
definitions:
  services:
    aws-cli:
      image: amazon/aws-cli

any advice on how I can get this working? 

EDIT: I tried the same with the atlassian/pipelines-awscli  image and got the same error.

Hi @[deleted] 

Thank you for contacting Atlassian Community, my name is Norbert and I'm a Bitbucket Cloud Support Engineer, it's nice to meet with you.

Unfortunately it seems, that the aws-cli images are not working as services and it's not able to run the aws commands. When I had the following configuration in bitbucket-pipelines.yml file, I was able to run the "aws help" command:

image: amazon/aws-cli

pipelines:

default:

 - step:

name: New Code Detected

script:

 - echo "New code pushed to ${BITBUCKET_BRANCH}"

 - aws help

As a workaround, can I ask you to use the following image? This image contains both terraform and aws-cli, so I believe with this image, you can achieve what you would like to: https://hub.docker.com/r/zenika/terraform-aws-cli

Please let me know how it goes.
