Hi @refined-ghost-4478, I wrote a quick example to explain the idea. Let me know if this is what you are looking for. Essentially to do what you want to do, you have to create two actions, one for building the testing image (

dev

) and one for the production deploy (

prod

). In here I use a service called

frontend

as an example but it should be easy to port to your case. We then describe a Test action that uses the

dev

image, specified as output of the

dev

build action.

kind: Build
name: frontend
type: container
description: Build the frontend image.

[...]

spec:
  dockerfile: frontend.dockerfile
  targetStage: prod

---
kind: Build
name: frontend-dev
type: container
description: Build the frontend image using the dev stage.

[...]

spec:
  dockerfile: frontend.dockerfile
  targetStage: dev

---

kind: Test
type: container
name: frontend-test

dependencies:
  - build.frontend-dev

spec:
  image: ${actions.build.frontend-dev.outputs.deploymentImageId}
  args: [npm, run, test]

yeah, I got idea. I should have different builds for each stage if plan to reference

Yes, I think that's the way to go. Let me know if that works! 😉
