Possibility to ignore output variable validation for certain actions
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm using the dotenv-action, which makes properties available as step outputs. Because the plugin's meta-data can't have information on the used properties, this plugin cannot correctly validate the actions output.
Describe the solution you'd like
I want to be able to disable output variable validation for specific actions so that I don't get any false positives.
Describe alternatives you've considered
None so far

Greetings @thake,
Thank you for the request. I had not yet thought of this case.
A little brainstorming together:
- A similar function is already built in for unrecognised actions. See screenshot. Would this option be sufficient if I always display this option?
- Would you suggest ignoring single output elements, or just disable the validation of all output elements?
- Visualisation: should the output variables get a weak warning to show that they are not validated, or would that interfere?
Hey @YunaBraska, thanks for your quick response!
Here are my comments:
- That would be sufficient and consistent. I like it :)
- Leave it to the user. So offer both options. Either ignore a single output variable or all output variables of a specific action.
- A weak warning with a tooltip seems very sensible. This is also a good place to offer a function to undo ignoring the variable.
@YunaBraska I totally like it :) Thank you!
