Hello,

I seem to not be able to define a new pluggable materials that is not defined in the GoCD serve.
I am using a Yaml config repo, I have created a file called scm.gocd.yaml where i would define new scm pluggable materials

This is what my scm.gocd.yaml looks so i referenced the material in another file lets call it dev.gocd.yaml , this is the error message i get



    materials:
      Portfolio:
        scm: Database
        destination: source      

format_version: 10
pipelines: {}
environments: {}
common:
  scms:
    Database:
      plugin_configuration:
        id: "git-path"
        version: 1
      options:
        username: myusername
        password: '{{SECRET:[value][myPAT]}}'        
        branch: main
        shallow_clone: true
        auto_update: true

Hiya

The scm: key inside a pipeline material is only needed/used when trying to reuse a pluggable SCM that was manually configured on the server. So the ID here would have to be some server the Pluggable SCMs page, a UUID like "7636d518-f136-4e92-b6bd-f66862650c5c".

But you don't need to have server pre-defined pluggable SCMs and can use material syntax (like you have) to dynamically create them.

The "common" section is just a "convention" to put chunks of YAML to refer to with YAML aliases. There is so special GoCD understanding of the YAML aliases, it's just a feature of YAML. So to have your SCM in a "common" area, and refer to it later, you'd need to give chunks aliases. Something like the below should work, assuming you want to have different destinations for each material where you re-use the "common" SCM definition.

format_version: 10
environments: {}
common:
  scms:
    Database: &scm-database # define an alias for all the keys in this block so the pluggable SCM can be reused
      plugin_configuration:
        id: "git-path"
        version: 1
      options:
        url: https://my/repo/_git/Database
        username: myusername
        password: '{{SECRET:[value][myPAT]}}'
        branch: main
        shallow_clone: true
        auto_update: true
pipelines:
  some-pipeline:
    materials:
      Portfolio:
        <<: *scm-database # merge keys from common definition above
        destination: source # add in key for the destination folder if you want to customise the clone dir/folder

Try something like that? You may want to use a YAML tool to double check the aliases are working as you expect in the "rendered" YAML before submitting for GoCD to use.
