Steps Template

[itayvolo]

Hey,
Im trying to get the step name by templating it in as an env variable inside a container (helm chart):

and im getting this error which says it cant resolve it:

Doc example for steps.name :

The steps.name variable must be passed in as an input parameter. Directly passing steps.name as an env doesn't work, I attempted multiple times.

metadata:
  name: step-name-variable
  namespace: argo
spec:
  templates:
    - name: main
      inputs: {}
      outputs: {}
      metadata: {}
      steps:
        - - name: step-one
            template: template-one
            arguments: {}
    - name: template-one
      inputs:
        parameters:
          - name: step-name
            value: '{{steps.name}}' # Pass in steps.name variable as an input parameter
      outputs: {}
      metadata: {}
      container:
        name: main
        image: alpine:latest
        command:
          - /bin/sh
        args:
          - '-c'
          - |
            echo "Step Name: $stepname"  # Print the environment variable
        env:
          - name: stepname
            value: '{{inputs.parameters.step-name}}' # Set the steps.name env
        resources: {}
  entrypoint: main
  arguments: {}
