Execute a BigQuery query in Cloud Build step

问题

I'm using Cloud Build with the gcloud builder. I override the entrypoint to be bq so I can run some BigQuery SQL in my build step. Previously, I had the SQL embedded directly in the YAML config for Cloud Build. This works fine:

steps:
- name: gcr.io/cloud-builders/gcloud
  entrypoint: 'bq'
  args: ['query', '--use_legacy_sql=false', 'SELECT 1']

Now I'd like to refactor the SQL out of the YAML and into a file instead. According to here, you can cat the file or pipe it to bq. This works on the command line without any problems.

But, I can't get it to work with Cloud Build. I've tried lots of different combinations, and escaping chars etc. but no matter what I try the shell doesn't evaluate/execute the cat my_query.sl backticks, and instead thinks that it's the query itself:

Works fine:

Build in Cloud Build it won't work:

steps:
- name: gcr.io/cloud-builders/gcloud
  entrypoint: 'bq'
  args: ['query', '--use_legacy_sql=false', '`cat my_query.sql`']

I also tried piping it instead of using cat, but I get the same error.

I must be missing something obvious here, but I can't see it. I could build a custom docker image, and wrap everything in a shell script, but I'd rather not have to do that if possible.

How do you use Cloud Build with shell evaluation inside a build step?

回答1:

You can create a custom Bash script, e.g.:

#!/bin/bash
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
  echo "No arguments supplied"
fi
bq query --use_legacy_sql=false < $1

Name this run_query.sh, then define your steps as:

steps:
- name: gcr.io/cloud-builders/gcloud
  entrypoint: 'bash'
  args: ['run_query.sh', 'my_query.sql']

Disclaimer: this is based on reading the docs, but I haven't actually used Cloud Build.

回答2:

I have done this:

- name: 'gcr.io/cloud-builders/gcloud'
  entrypoint: 'bash'
  dir: 'my/directory'
  args: ['-c', 'bq --project_id=my-project-name query --use_legacy_sql=false < ./my_query.sql']

Which works with gcloud builds submit ... and eliminates one file if you prefer.
