This issue is a feature request
priority/unprioritized-backlog
Higher priority than priority/awaiting-more-evidence but not planned. Contributions are welcome.
Describe the problem/challenge you have
Tool integrators would like the ability to integrate with
ytt
, accepting paths to files without limitation.That integration includes the ability to configure processing of sets of files via File Marks.
Today, file marks are supplied via a command-line flag whose argument is of a specific format that uses the
:
and=
characters as delimiters.These are valid characters for paths on most operating systems.
This means there are valid path names (however uncommon) for which there is no way to configure a file mark.
Describe the solution you'd like
Introduce a new command-line flag:
--file-marks-yaml
which contains a sequence of file mark-shaped mappings. In this way, any string can be supplied forpath
.For example:
This flag should be able to process all known file marks: https://carvel.dev/ytt/docs/latest/file-marks/#docs
