Specify version of a pipe from a variable

Drew Heasman_09kq13

I want to be able to set the version of a pipe in use across multiple repos, by using a workspace variable.

Specifying a branch name for the pipe isn't desirable, I'd like to specify a specific version of the pipe across the multiple repos.

E.g.

image: node:16-alpine

definitions:
  steps:
    - step: &build-and-test
        name: Build and test
        caches:
          - node
        script:
          - npm install
          - npm test
          - npm run build
          - pipe: snyk/snyk-scan:$SYNK_VERSION

Is this possible some other way? When I try the above the following error is shown:

It looks like you tried to use a pipe in your bitbucket-pipelines.yml that doesn’t exist. Check the name of the pipe and try again.

Hi Drew,

I'm afraid that this is not possible at the moment, we don't support variables in a pipe's name.

We have a feature request that you vote for to further express your interest:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-20657

You can also add yourself as a watcher to that feature request (by selecting the Start watching this issue link) if you'd like to get notified via email on updates.

Kind regards,
Theodora
