The FR sounds fair to me.
Actually, I thought something like
--override_repository=module_repo_canonical_name+extension_name+repo_name=path
might "just work", but if it does then I could not spell it right!
This should just work. But obviously it would be a local_repository
override.
Actually, a couple of problems with this idea:
override_repo
works by overriding a specific repo generated by a specific module extension. How do you propose that to be expressed via a flag?--override_repo
would be way too similar to --override_repository
.If you want to override with a local directory, --override_repository
can do that already for extension repos.
If you want to override with anything more complex, I'm not sure that a flag would work well. Could you try to use buildozer
to add an override to the module file instead?
Description of the feature request:
override_repo allows overriding a repository created by a module extension. The FR is for a flag exposing this functionality, analogous to
--override_module
and--override_repository
.Actually, I thought something like
--override_repository=module_repo_canonical_name+extension_name+repo_name=path
might "just work", but if it does then I could not spell it right!@wyv
Which category does this issue belong to?
External Dependency
What underlying problem are you trying to solve with this feature?
The use cases for this are basically the same as for
--override_module
: just like developers want to be able to override a module from the command line, they want to be able to override repos created by module extensions.A specific use case I have in mind are CI builders that use a different version of a CIPD package.
