$CONTAINER_NAME Env Variable does not exist in CodeBuild

[francobontorin]

Hi there,
In your buildspec example you use $CONTAINER_NAME but I haven't found anywhere in the code where I could pass the container_name to my CodeBuild environment variable.

Unless I hardcode the container name directly on my build_spec the example is not working as is.

thank you

I just ran into this as well, but looks like you can easily solve this by defining CONTAINER_NAME:

  environment_variables = [
    {
      name: "CONTAINER_NAME"
      value: "replace-with-container-name"
    }
  ]
