runtime variables not available in custom pipeline

[janrito]

What happened?
Trying to use an image name in a pipeline

→ devspace run-pipeline test --skip-build
info Using namespace 'tmp'
info Using kube context 'minikube'
image

What did you expect to happen instead?
the runtime variable to hold the image name

→ devspace run-pipeline test --skip-build
info Using namespace 'tmp'
info Using kube context 'minikube'
image registry.com/images/example

How can we reproduce the bug? (as minimally and precisely as possible)

My devspace.yaml:

version: v2beta1
name: tmp

pipelines:
  test:
    run: |-
      echo "image ${runtime.images.example.image}"

images:
  example:
    image: registry.com/images/example
    tags:
      - $(ls | md5)
      - test

Local Environment:

• DevSpace Version: [use devspace --version] devspace version 6.3.12
• Operating System: mac
• ARCH of the OS: ARM64
  Kubernetes Cluster:
• Cloud Provider: minikube
• Kubernetes Version: [use kubectl version]
  → kubectl version
  Client Version: v1.30.0
  Kustomize Version: v5.0.4-0.20230601165947-6ce0bf390ce3
  Server Version: v1.28.3
  Anything else we need to know?

@janrito The pipeline function get_image is more reliable for this purpose.

Here's a devspace.yaml that worked for me:

version: v2beta1
name: tmp

pipelines:
  test:
    run: |-
      echo "image $(get_image --only image example)"
images:
  example:
    image: registry.com/images/example
    tags:
      - $(ls | md5)
      - test

This page needs to be updated, since the variable only sometimes works in pipelines.

Thanks! I'll take a look
