Service Link
The Service Link prerequisite allow you to use any Docker image as a dependency of a job.
This is useful when you want to make some tests with a real database, or put your built application as a job prerequisite for doing some tests.
How to use service requirement
When editing a pipeline job, choose your model as usual, then add a new service requirement (the name you set will be the service’s hostname) and set the Docker image for the service as the value.
When the pipeline is triggered, a worker defined by the model will be spawned with a docker link to the service you defined as requirement.
Environment variables
You can define environment variables of the service by setting requirement value as:
postgres:9.5.3 POSTGRES_USER=myuser POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mypassword
To define your job’s requirements in the UI, you just have to go to the job’s edition page and click on requirements:
Then a modal will appear in order to select your requirements:
