Store output of very long command in a variable multiline in bitbucket-pipelines.yml

[H.hijazi]

I can do this

- var=`<some command>`

but the command is too long and contains pipes that i would like to write on separate lines like

- var=`<command>

  -arg1 value1

  -arg2 value2

 | awk '{print $2}' ...

`

but that doesn't work.

What exactly is the problem you are experiencing? Does the bitbucket-pipelines.yaml editor give you an error message or do you get an error actually running the command? Could you post the whole step definition thats causing problems?
