Variable Passing in Workflows

Workflows support various variables (project dimension, workflow dimension, task dimension) and can be freely passed between multiple tasks, workflows, and projects. This article uses a specific scenario to illustrate how to use them.

# Background

Use workflows to build deployment services, aiming to reflect more information in the built images, such as the version number the team is currently sprinting on.

# How to Use

1. Edit the workflow, add variable VERSION_INFO, set the value to Runtime Input, refer to Workflow Variables.

2. Add custom variable VERSION_INFO to the build configuration and modify the build script. Before building the image, modify the value of variable IMAGE to connect it with VERSION_INFO, for example: export IMAGE=$IMAGE-$VERSION_INFO, refer to Custom Variables.

3. Modify the variable configuration of the build task in the workflow, and use the workflow global variable {{.workflow.params.VERSION_INFO}} from the first step to assign it a value, refer to Build Task Variables.

# Usage Effect

When executing the workflow, specify the value of VERSION_INFO.
