Appspec.yml - support deployment specification params

[ejhayes]

It looks like it is possible to use deployment specification values in hook scripts
https://blogs.aws.amazon.com/application-management/post/Tx1PX2XMPLYPULD/Using-CodeDeploy-Environment-Variables

However, I noticed that it wasn't possible to use these values in the appspec.yml file. This PR adds support for that. To use the deployment specification values in the appspec.yml you can simply do this:

version: 0.0
os: linux
files:
- source: someDir
destination: /var/www/<%= application_name %>
hooks:
ValidateService:
- location: scripts/validate_app
timeout: 15
runas: root

The following values are supported:

• application_name
• deployment_id
• deployment_group_name
• deployment_group_dir
• deployment_root_dir
• last_successful_deployment_dir

Hi can we see this feature live soon?
or is there any fix that needs to be done, we are willing to chip in!

[ejhayes]

@wickstargazer I was taking a look at this a couple days ago and was having trouble getting it to pass the tests. The appspec yaml file is getting parsed as a ERB, but the tests are failing because my update passing the deployment spec params to the parsing function. Want to take a look to see if you can get it to pass?

3 years later, still not merged :( In gitlab-ci.yml they use this syntax:

files:
- source: someDir
destination: /var/www/${APPLICATION_NAME}
