How to allocate memory for a service at step level

[jbarcenilla]

Hi,

I have a pipeline with 2 steps that use pipes and one of them needs a lot of memory.

This is a simplify version of my pipeline:

definitions: 
 services:
   docker: memory: 7128
 steps:
   - step: &deploy
      name: Deploy Heroku
      script:
       - pipe: atlassian/heroku-deploy:1.1.4

   - step: &whitesource
      name: WhiteSource Scan
      size: 2x
      services:
       - docker
      script:
       - pipe: WhitesourceSoftware/whitesource-scan:1.3.0
pipelines:
 default:
  - step: *deploy
 custom: 
  whitesource:
   - step: *whitesource

 As far as i now the pipes are executed as docker in docker so i just set the maximum memory and a 2x size.

The whitesource pipe works fine using a 2x container and allocating  7128mb for the pipe but the deploy cannot be run because is a x1 container and when the system try to allocate the memory for the pipe (the internal docker) there is not enough and i get this error

A step does not have the minimum resources needed to run (1024 MB). Services on the current step are consuming 7128 MB

I tried to set the memory for the service inside the step but it didn't work.  I'm not sure if it is not possible or I'm using the wrong syntax.

As a workaround I can use a size x2 in the other step but It is not needed and I'd like to be able to set the memory just for the whitesource step.

Thanks.

It looks like it is not possible.
