Latest version for a pipe

[Álvaro López]

Hello, i'm writing a pipe to perform a sonarcloud analysis and check the quality gate. 

Could i use "latest" as a version when i'm writing the pipe? 

I mean: 

 script: - pipe: sonarsource/sonarcloud-scan:latest

It doesn't work for me, i'm getting an error when i try to run the pipeline:

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.

However if i use an specific version, everything is ok, like:

 script: - pipe: sonarsource/sonarcloud-scan:1.2.1

Hello @Álvaro López !

We never release latest version.

Basically as for all pipes, including vendor ones, there is the risk that latest docker version may not be verified  as fully working one (in some cases it is, in some cases - no).

However if you accept the risk, you can use it as:

script: - pipe: docker://sonarsource/sonarcloud-scan:latest

You can look at the image to be used here:

And how do we know you will be removing support for an earlier version? Some of our pipelines break on pipe updates because earlier versions are no longer available...
