Cant find reference to codebuild source custom command

I am building a cloudformation script for codepipeline and am stuck at codebuild stage.

This is how my CodeBuild script looks like

CodeBuildProject:
    Type: AWS::CodeBuild::Project
    Properties:
      Name: Dev-Build
      ServiceRole: !Ref ServiceRoleForCodepipeline
      Artifacts:
        Type: CODEPIPELINE
      Environment:
        Type: LINUX_CONTAINER
        ComputeType: BUILD_GENERAL1_SMALL
        Image: aws/codebuild/standard:3.0
        EnvironmentVariables:
          - Name: stage
            Type: PLAINTEXT
            Value: dev
      Source:
        Type: CODEPIPELINE
        BuildSpec: buildspec.yml

This works fine. My doubt is how do I setup Source item to accept custom command instead of a BuildSpec file here

Source:
  Type: CODEPIPELINE
  BuildSpec: buildspec.yml

In the console here we can specify custom commands. enter image description here

I have gone through the documentation here the Source reference doesnt say anything about adding custom commands. Any help is appreciated. Stuck on this for sometime now.

Solution

  • BuildSpec is used for that:

    if this value is provided, it can be either a single string containing the entire build specification
