User Story

As a Devfile author, I always want to know the exact location of the project source code So that I can execute commands in a current diretory

Acceptance Criteria

• ${PROJECT_SOURCE} env variable should be available in every container of the component so it can be used in commandLine or workingDir fields inside Devfiles
• ${PROJECT_SOURCE} should point to a directory that contains project source code
  • if there are multiple projects in devfile ${PROJECT_SOURCE} will point to the source code of the first one
  • if there are no projects in devfile ${PROJECT_SOURCE} will be equal to the value of ${PROJECTS_ROOT}

Notes

• ${PROJECT_SOURCE} can be different for each container because it depends on sourceMapping value and on ${PROJECTS_ROOT} value both are set per container.
• Projects source code location inside ${PROJECTS_ROOT} depends on clonePath value (defaults to project name) (clonePath should be supported in odo #3729)

Links

• add PROJECTS_ROOT and PROJECT_SOURCE description to CommandLine and WorkingDir devfile/api#116
• Parent Devfiles and workingDir vs clonePath issue devfile/api#109 (comment)
