[JIRA] (JENKINS-53094) Option to expand variables in yamlFile

Option to expand variables in yamlFile

Issue Type:	New Feature
Assignee:	Carlos Sanchez
Components:	kubernetes-plugin
Created:	2018-08-17 12:54
Priority:	Minor
Reporter:	Gintautas Sulskus

Would it make sense to introduce an option to expand groovy variables in the supplied yamlFile?

 
                                                                pipeline {
    agent {
        kubernetes {
            label 'mypod'
            defaultContainer 'jnlp'
            yamlFile 'KubernetesPod.yaml'
        }
    }
    stages {
        ...
    }
} 
                                                            

Variable expansion works fine with the inline parameter

Agreed. Plugin is quite useless for some advanced cases without this feature. My case is I use complex kilometer yaml templates with separate docker images for each commit for tests in parallel. I wouldn't like to include 5kb yaml in each parallel step, instead of this I would like to inject env vars I need in target yaml file for each parallel step.

Yes would love to see this feature! Including yaml in the jenkinsfile is very inconvenient.

Yeah... this would make declarative jenkinsfiles a lot cleaner +1

Yeah... this would make declarative jenkinsfiles a lot cleaner :) +1
+ I don't think it's uncommon to need to use a value from previous stages in new pods
