Mount volume in custom pipe

[Lockie Richter]

I have a bunch of microservices and they all need to go through the same basic steps of format code, build, test and deploy. 

I'm trying to create a custom pipe for formatting all the code as a starting point.

The thing I'm getting stuck on is how do you get the src code mounted in the Pipe that you are trying to use? Is there a way to mount a volume when creating a Pipe?

Sorry if that's not very clear, I am a little new to all this.

So in my python-formatting-pipe repo I have:

Dockerfile

FROM python:3.6-slim 
WORKDIR /app/
COPY pipe.py requirements.txt ./
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt 
ENTRYPOINT ["python3", "pipe.py"]

pipe.py

src_dir = pipe.get_variable("DIRECTORY")

subprocess.check_call(["autoflake", "-r", f"{src_dir}", "--in-place", "--remove-all-unused-imports", "--exclude=__init__.py"])

and in a separate repo I have a bitbucket pipeline that calls

- pipe: python-formatting-pipe
  variables:
    DIRECTORY: "."

Take a look at the variables that you can use, in your case $BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR will be probably the most interesting.

You can also take a look at other official-pipelines source code how they do it, for instance snyk-scan.

Ah that was exactly what I needed, thank you for that!
