How to use nrf-docker in Bitbucket pipeline

[Bartlomiej]

I want to create automatic build using CI in bitbucket pipeline.

I would like to use image NordicPlayground/nrf-docker to compile the project. I saw the article Build NCS application firmware images using Docker - Getting Started - nRF Connect SDK guides - Nordic DevZone (nordicsemi.com). 

The usage of this image looks like:

docker run --name ncs --rm -v ${PWD}:/workdir/ncs/fw-nrfconnect-nrf ncs /bin/bash -c 'cd ncs/fw-nrfconnect-nrf/applications/asset_tracker; west build -p always -b nrf9160_pca20035ns'

But I would like to first run the image, and inside run the west build command. 

There is my example runner configuration.

 

pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        name: 'Build'
        image: nordicplayground/nrfconnect-sdk:v2.5-branch
        runs-on:
          - self.hosted
          - linux
        script:
          - echo "Building start"
          - west --version

And on output i got:

+ west --version
bash: west: command not found

How to solve this. Eventually how to modify the docker image to obtain what i want.

Hi, 

The problem might be that github action does not respect the entry point as noted here

You should try to  run nrfutil toolchain-managerexplicitly (like here).

At tech support we don't normally interact to much with automatic build systems so I can't promise anything

I found the solution.

I need to make the file launch_tool.sh:

#!/bin/bash

# Checking whether an argument has been passed
if [ "$#" -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "You must provide at least one command to execute."
    exit 1
fi

# Passing the command to nrfutil toolchain-manager launch
nrfutil toolchain-manager launch -- /bin/bash -c "$*"

And the step definition

    - step: &build_for_nrf52840dk_faster
        name: 'Build for nrf52840dk board'
        image: nordicplayground/nrfconnect-sdk:v2.7-branch
        runs-on:
          - linux
        script:
          - HW_VERSION="0.0.0"
          - source /workdir/zephyr/zephyr-env.sh # make visible west build
          - chmod +x launch_tool.sh              # make launch_tool.sh executable
          - ./launch_tool.sh west --version      # check west version
          - ./launch_tool.sh west build
            --pristine=always
            --board nrf52840dk/nrf52840
            --build-dir ${PWD}/build
            --
            -DBOARD_ROOT=${PWD}
            -DCONF_FILE=${PWD}/prj.conf
          - mv build/zephyr/zephyr.hex nrf52840dk_v${HW_VERSION}.hex
