codebuild.Project.addToRoleInlinePolicy should allow you to specify the policyName

[corymhall]

Currently there are two ways to attach an IAM policy to the default IAM role that is created with the codebuild project.

1. addToRolePolicy - Adds the provided policy statement to the default inline policy created with the role.
2. addToRoleInlinePolicy - Creates a new inline policy with the hardcoded name CodeBuildEC2Policy and adds the provided policy statement.

It would be great if the addToRoleInlinePolicy method allowed you to specify the policyName so that we could create as many inline policies as we want.

I was going to create a pull request to add this functionality, but I noticed there is already a pull request that is updating that method #2662. Can this be addressed in that pull request, or should I wait until that is implemented and create a separate PR?

Hey @corymhall ,

thanks for opening the issue. The method addToRoleInlinePolicy was exposed accidentally on Project. The intention of it was to keep it private, and that's what the PR #2662 will do. If you need that functionality, you should call it directly on the IRole Project exposes: project.role.attachInlinePolicy(new iam.Policy(...)).

Thanks,
Adam
