Passing buildah arguments
Konflux buildah task accepts BUILD_ARGS
parameter that allows passing build arguments to the underlying buildah
command through --build-arg
flag. To enable this, make the following changes to the PipelineRuns under the .tekton/
directory:
-
Define a
build-args
Pipeline parameter (if not already present) in.spec.pipelineSpec.params
to accept the passed-in build arguments.spec: # ... pipelineSpec: params: # ... - name: build-args type: array default: []
-
Pass the argument to buildah task. Add
BUILD_ARGS
tobuild-container.params
(if not already present):spec: # ... pipelineSpec: tasks: # ... - name: build-container params: # ... - name: BUILD_ARGS value: ["$(params.build-args[*])"]
The value can also be in form
tasks.<taskName>.results.<resultName>[*]
if it is generated by another task dynamically.For example, you can do more creative things with the
BUILD_ARGS
parameter like this snippet of a pipeline that allows passingbuild-args
through the pipeline parameter (as described above) but also incorporatesbuild-args
generated dynamically by other tasks:spec: # ... pipelineSpec: tasks: # ... - name: build-container params: # ... - name: BUILD_ARGS value: # pass the build args array from the pipeline param - $(params.build-args[*]) # and a dynamically generated array of build args - $(tasks.my-build-arg-generator-task.results.BUILD_ARGS[*]) # and a build arg with a static name and dynamic value - VERSION=$(tasks.my-get-version-task.results.VERSION)
Ensure that the value of BUILD_ARGS
has the correct syntax as described in Variable Substitutions Supported by Tasks and Pipelines. -
Pass the desired build arguments in the PipelineRun
.spec.params
:spec: params: # ... - name: build-args value: ["ARG1=val", "ARG2=val"] # Add real argument name and value of each build argument
