How can I use deployments with shared pipeline and use deployment with importing particular steps

Question

I have a shared pipeline created for all my microservices, the steps are more or less same but vary on branch execution. with different variable set. How can I achieve below functionality

Example:

**********************************************************

Shared Pipeline

***********************************************************

export: true
definitions:  pipelines:    share-pipeline-java8: &share-pipeline-java8      - step: &Maven-Build-and-Test          image:            name: abc.io/maven:3.9-jdk8            username: $ART_USER            password: $ARTI_PASSWORD          caches:            - maven          script:            - mvn clean install          artifacts:            - target/*.jar          after-script:              # Collect checkstyle results, if any, and convert to Bitbucket Code Insights.            - pipe: atlassian/checkstyle-report:0.3.0

**********************************************************************

Import Pipeline

***************************************************************************

pipelines:  branches:
    develop:     import: xyz:develop:share-pipeline-java8     deployment: develop     step: *Maven-Build-and-Test
    master:     import: xyz:master:share-pipeline-java8     deployment: production     step: *Maven-Build-and-Test

Hi @Hareesh Kanchala,

Now that Dynamic Pipelines have been released, you can achieve a greater level of flexibility with the Bitbucket pipelines.

Last week, I published this article explaining how to add a step dynamically to a repository. This approach offers a greater level of flexibility, considering that the app logic can change the entire pipeline of a repository.

Hope this will help managing pipelines,
Caterina

Hi Hareesh,

A deployment is a property of a step or a stage and not of the whole pipeline. I'm afraid that you cannot use a definition like the one you shared. You will need to define the deployment in the Shared Pipeline repo, in the specific step that uses a deployment, as follows:

export: true

definitions:
  pipelines:
    share-pipeline-java8-production:
      - step: &Maven-Build-and-Test
deployment: develop
          image:
            name: abc.io/maven:3.9-jdk8
            username: $ART_USER
            password: $ARTI_PASSWORD
          caches:
            - maven
          script:
            - mvn clean install
          artifacts:
            - target/*.jar
          after-script:
            # Collect checkstyle results, if any, and convert to Bitbucket Code Insights.
            - pipe: atlassian/checkstyle-report:0.3.0

If you have more than one deployment environment that you want to use this way, you will need to add separate definitions for the same step with a different deployment environment.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
Theodora

Hi Theodora, Thanks for getting back. In that case Can we do the same for import pipelines with a deployment in that case?

pipelines:  branches:    hareesh/multi_branch_shared_pipeline:
     deployment: Develop     import: abc:hareesh/xyz:share-pipeline
