Read in properties files within yml pipeline file

[Jonathan Gilmore]

We have many Account Level environment variables defined in BitBucket.  

When we deploy the 'dev' environment I need the dev.properties parsed to use the values in BitBucket (likewise for sys, uat etc).

How can a file of environment variables be loaded in pipeline.yml?

Hello Jonathan,

You may find Deployment Variables helpful here. You can set up a different value for a variable to run on deployments to different environments.

For example:

pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        deployment: test
        script:
          - ./deploy-to-env $PROPERTIES_FILE # Set to dev.properties
    - step:
        deployment: staging
        script:
          - ./deploy-to-env $PROPERTIES_FILE # Set to staging.properties

Alternatively, if Deployment Variables don't work for you, you may instead want to follow this feature request for running parameterised builds: https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issues/13737/parameterized-builds
