Have and use a repo shared between core developers for storing test suite secrets
Now that we have solved #6301 (closed) and #8188 (closed), one can add any secrets they
want to features/config/local.yml
. However, this doesn’t solve the
following use cases yet:
- our automatic build robots will need to be fed with the secrets they need
- core developers may want to share a set of secrets, for ease of maintenance and test reproducibility
Ideas and possible requirements:
- Something that supports a “—additional-config-directory DIR” option
would be nice, so that one can point it to the checkout of the
secrets repo. E.g. command-line >
features/config/local.yml
>ADDITIONAL_CONFIG_DIR/*.yml
>features/config/defaults.yml
. -
features/config/local.d/*.yml
but then people need to create symlinks from there to the checkout of the secrets repo.
