vv create appends to the wrong file

[tomjn]

The vv create command appends to vvv-config.yml, which will cause unstaged changes that prevent a git pull to update VVV 2.

Instead these changes should be made to a vvv-custom.yml file followed by a reprovision

I would also add, Whether it is on vvv-config.yml or vvv-custom.yml appending the site simply does not work. It used to work because it only had the sites section. Now it has, by default, two sections, sites: and utilities:. So when it appends the site it falls under utilities, which prevents the new provisioning system from recognizing it as a new site.

The default vvv.config.yml now looks like this:

---
sites:
  wordpress-default:
    repo: https://github.com/Varying-Vagrant-Vagrants/vvv-wordpress-default.git
    hosts:
      - local.wordpress.dev

  wordpress-develop:
    repo: https://github.com/Varying-Vagrant-Vagrants/vvv-wordpress-develop.git
    hosts:
      - src.wordpress-develop.dev
      - build.wordpress-develop.dev

  #wordpress-trunk: https://github.com/Varying-Vagrant-Vagrants/vvv-wordpress-trunk.git
  #multisite: https://github.com/Varying-Vagrant-Vagrants/vvv-multisite.git
  #wordpress-meta-environment: https://github.com/WordPress/meta-environment.git

utilities:
  core:
    - memcached-admin
    - opcache-status
    - phpmyadmin
    - webgrind

By the way, I have a basic idea about how the new provisioning system works thanks to your article. So, Thank you. :-)

We have a vm_core section now too! You should check out the VVV 2 docs PR I've been writing.

Introducing shyaml or python as a dependency could allow this to be trivial but I'm mindful that this tool thrive because it has none. Searching for the sites: section and appending afterwards on a new line could work, I'm sure that can be done via sed/awk

[tomjn]

I'd also advise to never modify vvv-config.yml as it complicates git pull for inexperienced developers who are just learning how things work. Copying it to vvv-custom.yml if it doesn't exist is the best course of action

I should say, you have done a great job on it. It was much needed.

This command will find the sites:' section of avvv-custom.yml` file and add a bananorama site to the beginning:

sed '/sites:/a\'$'\n''\ bananorama:'$'\n' vvv-custom.yml

It won't edit the file itself but it's a start, I'd suggest this is what's used instead of >> vvv-config.yml to create the site, and that a comment indicating it was added via the vv command is included

Closing this, I'm going to start tracking 2.0 support in https://github.com/bradp/vv/issues/348.
