Permissions problem when deploying via a pipeline

jakemcmurchie

When I deploy files to a cPanel account, the permissions given to files is 666 and directories 777.  On my local machine, they are 644 and 755 respectively.

I found this:

https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/kb/manage-file-permissions-in-bitbucket-cloud-pipelines/

So I've updated my bitbucket-pipelines.yml to this:

pipelines:
branches:
"*":
- step:
name: "Build and Set Permissions"
caches:
- docker
services:
- docker
script:
- find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
- find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
- DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker image build --no-cache --progress=plain .
main:
- step:
name: "Deploy to live"
script:
- pipe: atlassian/sftp-deploy:0.10.0
variables:
USER: $SFTP_USERNAME_LIVE
SERVER: $SFTP_LOCATION_LIVE
REMOTE_PATH: "public_html/"
LOCAL_PATH: "./"

... but it's still creating files on the server with 666 / 777 permissions.

Any help appreciated!  Thanks in advance.

You are modifying the files in your "Build and Set Permissions" step. But the "Deploy to live" step does not see those modified files. It has its own new set of cloned files.

You need to set the modified files as an artifact from the "Build" step so they are available to the "Deploy" step. You likely also want to disable the "Deploy" step from cloning the repository, since you want the files from the prior step shared via the artifact.

pipelines:
  branches:
    "*":
      - step:
        name: "Build and Set Permissions"
        script:
          - find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
          - find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
        artifacts:
          - files/**
  main:
    - step:
      name: "Deploy to live"
      clone:
enabled: false
      script:
        - pipe: atlassian/sftp-deploy:0.10.0
          variables:
            USER: $SFTP_USERNAME_LIVE
            SERVER: $SFTP_LOCATION_LIVE
            REMOTE_PATH: "public_html/"
            LOCAL_PATH: "./"

 You will have to change the artifacts to get the files you want to carry over to your Deploy step. I also removed all the Docker references to simplify the changes made.

Now, this will have the files with the desired permissions when running the SFTP command. The server though could have is own umask settings and be modifying the permissions once uploaded. If that is the case, then none of this matters in Bitbucket Pipelines and the fix needs to be done on the hosting server.
