Template.yml per-project includes

Hey Patrick -

I added this line to templates.yml and it worked:

include: "${INCLUDE_PATH}/test.yml"

so we definitely do support env vars in template includes.

As for when to set the env var, pipeline_configuration_init is the right place, and it looks like you can get to the project name via self.parent.

Here’s where the project is getting set and the pipeline_configuration_init core hook is getting executed (conveniently adjacent to one another ). You can see that the core hook is getting called with parent=self (looks like the snippet got cut off – click through to see that line):

if "project_id" in external_data:
    self._project_id = external_data["project_id"]
    log.debug("%s: Setting project id to %s from external config data" % (self, self._project_id))


if "project_name" in external_data:
    self._project_name = external_data["project_name"]
    log.debug("%s: Setting project name to %s from external config data" % (self, self._project_name))


if "pipeline_config_id" in external_data:
    self._pc_id = external_data["pipeline_config_id"]
    log.debug("%s: Setting pipeline config id to %s from external config data" % (self, self._pc_id))


if "pipeline_config_name" in external_data:
    self._pc_name = external_data["pipeline_config_name"]
    log.debug("%s: Setting pipeline config name to %s from external config data" % (self, self._pc_name))


if "bundle_cache_paths" in external_data:
    self._bundle_cache_fallback_paths = external_data["bundle_cache_paths"]
    log.debug("%s: Setting bundle cache fallbacks to %s from external config data" % (self, self._bundle_cache_fallback_paths)
    )

So, I just tested referring to self.parent._project_name in the core hook and it worked.

Hope that helps!
