Add ability to read configuration from external file
viniciusgama opened this issue · 4 comments
The idea is to have a external file, something like a swarm-elastic-agents.conf that would go along with the GoCD configuration and the plugin could merge the configuration made through the UI and what is in the file.
The idea came from the implementation made by the slack notifier plugin (https://github.com/ashwanthkumar/gocd-slack-build-notifier), not sure if there are other ways of doing that.
Could you explain the motivation behind the config file instead of doing it via the UI?
Ease of automation. Currently we have all our GoCD stack creation automated using cloudformation + ansible. Having a way to automate the plugins (not just this one) is the only thing that is not contemplated in our infra code.
Let me know if you need any more details.
Closing this issue. Please subscribe to gocd/gocd#3354 to know when this will be implemented. We think we may need to do this in a few releases down the line (no promises 🤞).
