(pipelines): Specifying variable namespace for pipelines.CodeBuildStep

[markusl]

We are currently looking into the new pipelines API but I cannot seem to find a way to specify variable namespace for pipelines.CodeBuildStep. Is this implemented or is this a missing feature from the new API?

Use Case

We would like to execute commands and use their outputs in the CodePipeline:

const command = new pipelines.CodeBuildStep('customaction', {
    partialBuildSpec: ...,
    commands: [],
  });
props.stageDeployment.addPost(command);

const variableName = command.variable('OUTPUT_NAME');

Proposed Solution

• ⚠️ This feature might incur a breaking change

This is a 🚀 Feature Request

Not really part of the design target so far, but I see no harm in adding it. The proposed variable function can return "#{NameSpace14851.OUTPUT_NAME}".
