How to share environment variables in parallel Bitbucket pipeline steps?

Question

So, I am using Bitbucket pipelines to deploy my application. The app consists of two components: 1 and 2. They are deployed in two parallel steps in the Bitbucket pipeline:

pipelines:
  custom:
    1-deploy-to-test:
      - parallel:
        - step:
            name: Deploying 1
            image: google/cloud-sdk:latest
            script:
              - SERVICE_ENV=test
              - GCLOUD_PROJECT="some-project"
              - MEMORY_LIMIT="256Mi"
              - ./deploy.sh
        - step:
            name: Deploying 2
            image: google/cloud-sdk:latest
            script:
              - SERVICE_ENV=test
              - GCLOUD_PROJECT="some-project"
              - MEMORY_LIMIT="256Mi"
              - ./deploy2.sh

The environment variables SERVICE_ENV, GCLOUD_PROJECT and MEMORY_LIMIT are always the same for deployments 1 and 2.

Is there any way to define these variables once for both parallel steps?

You can use User-defined variables in Pipelines. For example, you can configure your SERVICE_ENV, GCLOUD_PROJECT and MEMORY_LIMIT as a Repository variables and they will be available to all steps in your pipeline.

So there is no way to set it in some higher level in the yaml, so that it is included in the sourcecode? – MartijnvdB Feb 25 '20 at 12:23

as was explained in this link, you can define the Environment Variables and copy them to a file.

After that you can share that file between steps as an Artifact.
