There is som eenvironment variable to access step name in pipelines

[Garry Dias]

Hi

Problem's short version

I'd like to access the step name in my script section from a envrionment variable. There are some built in variables?

For example,

When the step below runs...

(...)

  - step: 
    name: my_cool_name
    script: 
       - echo $STEP_NAME

... then the output should be:

my_cool_name

Real problem

I have dozens of steps running a shell script (sh). Inside this sh file I need access the step's name in order to generate some reports. My current solution is that:

(...)

  - step: 
    name: my_cool_name1
    script: 
       - export STEP_NAME=my_cool_name1
       - ./report.sh
(...)
  - step: 
    name: my_cool_name50
    script: 
       - export STEP_NAME=my_cool_name50
       - ./report.sh

I'd like to remove the first script line, so I'll be able to write a default step with an anchor name and then, in branches section, do something like that:

pipelines:
   default: 
      - step: &defaultStep
        name: none
        script:
           - ./report.sh

   branches:
     'dev': 
        - step: 
          <<: *defaultStep
          name: my_cool_name1
        - step: 
          <<: *defaultStep
          name: my_cool_name2
      (...)
        - step: 
          <<: *defaultStep
          name: my_cool_name50

Thanks
