Possibility to pass BUILD_ARG_* from inputs?

[samed]

Hello,

Currently, I'm using BUILD_ARGS_FILE and populating args within another task and passing the output file to the oci-build-task as input. I'm just curious if there's the possibility to pass BUILD_ARG_* from inputs directly (eg. BUILD_ARG_APP_VERSION: git-repo/.git/short_ref )

I am using load_var for this purpose.

See this example from my task library:

- load_var: ginkgo-version
  file: ginkgo-release/version
- task: build-image
  file: lib/tasks/oci/build-image.yml
  params:
    BUILD_ARG_VERSION: v((.:ginkgo-version))

• ginkgo-release is a github-release resource, tracking onsi/ginkgo. It writes the fetched release version to ginkgo-release/version
• This file is then loaded as variable ginkgo-version and used in the BUILD_ARG_VERSION parameter (with an additional v).
• Finally, the Dockerfile uses the build arg VERSION to determine which version of ginkgo to install.

Hope this helps.
