Hi there,
Is there a way to make updatecli not trying evaluate the go template functions in a transformer / replacer?
Like replace with the raw string, don't try to text/template it.
I'm trying to sync a file from one repo to another during release, and as the destination is a helm chart, I wanted to use a transformer / replacer to change one line into a some go template code meant to be used by the helm chart later.
With the following config, updatecli will try to evaluate the include function, when I just want it to replace with this exact string:
Code:
targets:
push-crds-to-janitor-crds-helm-chart-repo:
name: Push the CRDs file to the helm chart repo
sourceid: crd-yaml
scmid: helm-chart-repo
kind: file
spec:
file: templates/crds.yaml
forcecreate: true
transformers:
- replacer:
from: "creationTimestamp: null"
to: >
labels:
{{- include "rancher-janitor-operator-crds.labels" . | nindent 4 }}Result:
Loading Pipeline "updatecli.yaml"
ERROR: failed loading pipeline(s)
* "updatecli.yaml" - template: cfg:98: function "include" not defined
But If I try to escape the {{ and }}, the include function is no more called, but the escape characters appear in the end result:
{{"{{"}}- include "rancher-janitor-operator-crds.labels" . | nindent 4 {{"}}"}}{{`"{{- include "rancher-janitor-operator-crds.labels" . | nindent 4 }}"`}}
All end up with the following, similar to the previous one, error:
SOURCES
=======
Pipeline "Push release and updated CRDs to the helm charts repos" failed
Skipping due to:
sources stage: "template: cfg:84: function \"include\" not defined"
If I escape more, the error moves to the next step:
{{`{{"{{\"{{\"}}"}}`}}- include "rancher-janitor-operator-crds.labels" . | nindent 4 {{`{{"{{\"}}\"}}"}}`}}
TARGETS
========
Pipeline "Push release and updated CRDs to the helm charts repos" failed
Skipping due to:
targets stage: "template: cfg:84: function \"include\" not defined"
And now adding more escape options is becoming difficult
One more escape level, almost there but not good enough:
{{`{{"{{\"{{\\\"{{\\\"}}\"}}"}}`}}- include "rancher-janitor-operator-crds.labels" . | nindent 4 {{`{{"{{\"{{\\\"}}\\\"}}\"}}"}}`}}
error:
TARGETS
========
