Proposal

We should provide options that would allow users to Validate their CI/CD config and provide specific conditions for the rules, only, except, and needs parameters. At the moment, validating the CI/CD config would apparently only use the existing contents of the scenario so it might be useful to have some form of input like toggle options based on the rules/conditions.

As an example, given the following config:

stages:
  - build

build-if-file-exists:
  stage: build
  script:
    - echo "hello"
  rules:
    - exists:
        - dev/**/*.txt

When we use the Validate option, we should allow the user to test for both cases:

• Case 1: dev/test/file.txt exist
• Case 2: dev/test/file.txt doesn't exist
