Validating a bitbucket pipeline.

Naveen Gabriel

    

    - step: &deploy

        name: Deploy to $DEPLOYMENT_ENV server

        clone:

          enabled: false

        script:

          - pipe: atlassian/ssh-run:0.6.0

            variables:

              SSH_USER: $DEPLOYMENT_SSH_USER

              SERVER: $DEPLOYMENT_SERVER_ADDR

              COMMAND: >

              #script here

 

pipelines:

  branches:

    development:

      - step: *deploy

        deployment: dev

        variables:

          DEPLOYMENT_ENV: "dev"

          DEPLOYMENT_SSH_USER: $DEV_SSH_USER

          DEPLOYMENT_SERVER_ADDR: $DEV_SERVER_ADDR

    'test/*':

      - step: *deploy

        deployment: staging

        trigger: manual

        variables:

          DEPLOYMENT_ENV: "staging"

          DEPLOYMENT_SSH_USER: $STAGING_SSH_USER

          DEPLOYMENT_SERVER_ADDR: $STAGING_SERVER_ADDR

Is this the correct usage of variables ? 
I have set up the variables in repository variables and in environment. 

My intention is to use same deploy step with different set of variables for different environment.

Hello @Naveen Gabriel and welcome to the Community!

The YAML syntax you have used is slightly wrong. Variables can only be used in pipes and in the script section of the step. It's not possible to use variables as part of the step definition, neither setting the variable value at the YAML file directly.

To create and set values to variables, you need to do it from the workspace, repository or deployment settings. Then those variables will be available in the script section of your step : 

pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
          script:
            - <script>
    - step:
          name: Deploy to Test
          deployment: Test
          script:
             - echo $DEPLOYMENT_VARIABLE

For more details and example, the Pipelines - Variables and secrets documentation might be of help.

Thank you, @Naveen Gabriel !
