Appspec.yml - support deployment specification params

[ejhayes]

It looks like it is possible to use deployment specification values in hook scripts https://blogs.aws.amazon.com/application-management/post/Tx1PX2XMPLYPULD/Using-CodeDeploy-Environment-Variables

However, I noticed that it wasn't possible to use these values in the appspec.yml file. This PR adds support for that. To use the deployment specification values in the appspec.yml you can simply do this:

version: 0.0
os: linux
files:
  - source: someDir
    destination: /var/www/<%= application_name %>
hooks:
  ValidateService:
    - location: scripts/validate_app
      timeout: 15
      runas: root

The following values are supported:

• application_name
• deployment_id
• deployment_group_name
• deployment_group_dir
• deployment_root_dir
• last_successful_deployment_dir

@ejhayes i have just tried this and it doesnt work. Is this supposed to be live yet?

[praymaker]

Any idea when this might be available?

[rohkat-aws]

@praymaker the PR right now is failing will have to fix test before i accept this @ejhayes

[wickstargazer]

Hi can we see this feature live soon? or is there any fix that needs to be done, we are willing to chip in!

[ejhayes]

@wickstargazer I was taking a look at this a couple days ago and was having trouble getting it to pass the tests. The appspec yaml file is getting parsed as a ERB, but the tests are failing because my update passing the deployment spec params to the parsing function. Want to take a look to see if you can get it to pass?

3 years later, still not merged :( In gitlab-ci.yml they use this syntax:

files:
  - source: someDir
    destination: /var/www/${APPLICATION_NAME}
