configuring steps in pipelines. Do we need repeated steps?

[Gavin Thomas]

I have configured 3 steps in pipelines

build UI and static assets

deploy UI to website

Deploy assets to CDN

I notice i have to install yarn for each step and yarn install. Is it possible to only do this for 1 step. Seems strange it has to install yarn and install the packages 3 times before it can run the command.

- step Build UI and assets

script:

- curl -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash -s -- --version 1.3.2

 -export PATH=$HOME/.yarn/bin:$PATH

 - yarn install

 - yarn run build:ui 

- yarn run build:assets



-step Deploy UI to website

 script: - curl -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash -s -- --version 1.3.2 
- export PATH=$HOME/.yarn/bin:$PATH 

- yarn install 

- yarn run deploy:ui

Hey Gavin,

you could look at configuring artifacts. You define which folders you want to preserve in your first step, and then these are passed along in your subsequent steps.
