Unable to use aws-ecr/build_and_push_image in jobs about aws-ecr-orb HOT 4 CLOSED

After reviewing the code I see that aws-ecr/build_and_push_image is only available as a job and not a command.

Would it be possible to expose this as a command? My configuration handles the deployment of multiple services in the repo and I would like to extract this step to a command.

yes, @danroestorf the issue you identified initially was the intended behavior. when jobs are super all-encompassing, it's v v convenient (in my experience) to only have to call them in your workflows config. however, providing both a job & command is even better & allows for more modular use-cases.

that said, are you aware of our pre-steps & post-steps features ?

https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/reusing-config/#using-pre-and-post-steps

they allow you to call a job in your workflows config but add in custom steps before and afterwards

anyway, i've merged @Tybot204's PR, so the newest version of this orb should allow you do to what you want here:

Possibly something like this? #18

What will be difficult in the future about that implementation is having to manage both sets of parameters...

I also was having this issue trying to configure an orb I am writing for internal use on some projects. I would like to be able to create a job in my orb that calls this job with some preset parameters (which I believe means this job needs to be exposed as a command to work).
