Accessing deploy params in pipeline

Drone Support
1

I’m using Drone in version 0.8 and wanted to invoke deployment with custom param:

drone deploy -p VERSION_TAG=0.0.2 myrepo 10 dev

I want to use my param with Terraform plugin:
http://plugins.drone.io/jmccann/terraform/

like that:

terraform_dev_ecs_deploy:
  image: jmccann/drone-terraform:6
  ...
  root_dir: deployment
  vars:
    docker_image_tag: ${VERSION_TAG}
  when:
    event: deployment
    environment: dev

but it’s not accessible that way. I was trying also other interpolation ways like:

$VERSION_TAG
$$VERSION_TAG
$${VERSION_TAG}

even:

my-step:
  image: jmccann/drone-terraform:6
  environment:
    - TAG=${VERSION_TAG}
  vars:
    docker_image_tag: ${TAG}

but it’s not working. And my question is if it’s a problem with Plugin or I am doing something wrong with accessing this param?

I use drone deploy params in other image where in commands section I’m able to echo them:

drone deploy -p VERSION_REL=1.4.64 ...

mystep:
    image: maven:3.6.1-jdk-11-slim
    commands:
      - echo $VERSION_REL

which is working.

I think issue is connected with plugin and go language so that I raised an issue https://github.com/jmccann/drone-terraform/issues/97 but just wanted to ask if there’s maybe a way to access params different way or they are only pass as environment variables.

this is supported in Drone 1.0 and higher, but is not supported in 0.8
