Support for mixins with Jsonnet external-variables #36

Open ArthurSens opened 3 years ago

ArthurSens commented 3 years ago

It is possible to generate mixins using jsonnet external variables, but not possible to use mixtool with those jsonnet files:

gitpod /workspace/observability $ mixtool lint monitoring-satellite/main.jsonnet

It would be nice if we could run for example:

mixtool lint --ext-str remote_write_url='my-remote-backend-url' monitoring-satellite/main.jsonnet

That sounds good. Happy to add this in a PR.

Mixtool should also support TLAs (Top-level arguments).

This is going to require fairly significant refactoring of the eval methods, since we can no longer assume that the content of the loaded mixin file will be a "simple" object with known properties. It could be a function in the case of TLAs, for example.
