How to order deployments in v6?

[rafaeljusto]

Hi,

Checking the v5 documentation I can see that we use an array to guarantee the order of execution of the deployments.

devspace/pkg/devspace/config/versions/latest/schema.go

Line 48 in 04e45e7

Deployments []*DeploymentConfig `yaml:"deployments,omitempty" json:"deployments,omitempty" patchStrategy:"merge" patchMergeKey:"name"`

There was even a concurrent flag added to allow running deployments in parallel or not.

For v6, the Deployments attribute was modified to a map, and Go maps are unordered by definition:

devspace/pkg/devspace/config/versions/latest/schema.go

Line 69 in bed0dae

Deployments map[string]*DeploymentConfig `yaml:"deployments,omitempty" json:"deployments,omitempty"`

The documentation for v6 doesn't mention anything related to ordering anymore, and the Concurrent feature was also removed.

How do I order the deployments in the latest version?

Thanks!

I found a way to enforce the order using init containers. It's useful when you have an HTTP interface available to check the status of the other deployment.

deployments:
  app1:
    helm:
      chart:
        name: component-chart
        repo: https://charts.devspace.sh
      values:
        containers:
          - image: app1:1.2.3
        service:
          name: app1
          ports:
            - port: 80

  app2:
    helm:
      chart:
        name: component-chart
        repo: https://charts.devspace.sh
      values:
        initContainers:
          - name: wait-for-app1
            image: curlimages/curl:8.9.1
            command:
              - sh
            args:
              - -c
              - |
                while true; do
                  curl -sSf http://app1 && break
                  sleep 5
                done
        containers:
          - image: app2:1.2.3
