Backend: CI interpolation with arrays
Problem
Users want to be able to pass arrays into included CI config files using CI inputs.
Proposal
The input definition can be written like:
spec:
inputs:
rules:
type: array
default:
- 'item 1'
- 'item 2'
You can see a more complex example here: !136075 (closed)
These inputs can be used like:
test:
script: $[[ inputs.script ]] # defines entire script
And:
test:
script:
- echo "first line"
- $[[ inputs.script ]] # gets inserted between other script items
- echo "last line"
Questions
Should the following be invalid and return an error?
test:
script:
- echo "I am $[[ inputs.script ]]"
Answer: yes! no, it should just be stringified and inserted
