Make it easier customize Auto DevOps with CI variables
Problem to solve
Auto DevOps is highly customizable through environment variables, but these are not very discoverable, a pain to type out, and validation usually only happens at a later stage, so users can enter bad data and only find out through their CI jobs.
Intended users
Anyone customizing CI predefined variables. So maybe:
- Delaney (Development Team Lead)
- Sasha (Software Developer)
- Devon (DevOps Engineer)
- Sidney (Systems Administrator)
Further details
Proposal
This is just one idea, but I think having
- intellisense-like auto completion, with inline documentation about each variable
- stricter validation of well known variables
anywhere these variables can be customized would be a huge improvement
Permissions and Security
Documentation
Testing
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
What is the type of buyer?
