How can I run a custom script from within bitbucket-pipelines.yml

Question

Hi folks I am trying to use Bitbucket Pipelines to build my Android App and I am struggling with a custom script I wrote to avoid having everything in the .yml file. This is my error: chmod +x ./build-debug.sh chmod: changing permissions of ‘./build-debug.sh’: Operation not permitted This is my bitbucket-pipelines.yml image: uber/android-build-environment:latest pipelines: pull-requests: '**': - step: name: "Build DEBUG and run Unit Tests" caches: - gradle script: - echo "START script build-debug.sh" - chmod +x ./build-debug.sh - ./build-debug.sh - echo "END script build-debug.sh" artifacts: - app/build/outputs/apk/debug/*.apk How can I solve this and make build-debug.sh executable?

Hi @Aneita

Sorry for the late answer. It works for me with following setting:

image: mingc/android-build-box:latest

pipelines:
    pull-requests:
        '**': #this runs as default for any branch not elsewhere defined
        - step:
            name: "Build [DEBUG] and run Unit Tests"
            caches:
                - gradle
                - gradlewrapper
                - androidavd
            script:
                - echo "START script build-debug.sh"
                - /bin/bash build-debug.sh
                - echo "END script build-debug.sh - artifacts we [DEBUG] build can be downloaded..."
            artifacts:
                - app/build/outputs/apk/debug/*.apk

definitions:
  caches:
    gradlewrapper: ~/.gradle/wrapper
    androidavd: $ANDROID_HOME/.android/avd

I don't even need the `chmod` any more :-)

Hey @azolliker

Looks like your config is slightly incorrect. It should be

chmod +x build-debug.sh

instead of

chmod +x ./build-debug.sh

Let me know if that fixes things :)
