I am trying to build a web app from an artifact and pass in a variable value for the app in from a JSON file all in YAML.
The problem I have is at the end of the pipeline. I can either build the web app without the value from the variable for the APP name and it will build, but when I try to put the variable as the App name it fails and says it cant see the artifact file.
My Code for the YAML file is below. Any guidance or help would be very much appreciated.
