Environment specific OpenShift resources with some profile selection

[LarsMilland]

Description

I am trying to get a project set up where I can use the f-m-p to generate deployment controllers that are structurally different from environment to environment. I would like to have one layout in test without secrets in volumes, and then one prod with secrets mounted in volumes.

I am using resource fragments under src/main/fabric8 and am trying to use the fabric8 profiles and also some Maven profiles, but what ever I try of combinations I end up with getting resources generated from all my resource fragments regardless of how I structure them.

I am trying to place the different resource fragments under environment specific subdirectories:

src/main/fabric8/prod
src/main/fabric8/test

and was hoping I could then select one of these "profiles" with either a Maven profile pointing to only one fabric8 profile or some other trick.

Is this not something that is supported? And if not, then is there some other means where I can have structurally different resource fragments used for different environments.

Best regards
Lars Milland

f-m-p's profile feature is currently only for selecting Generators, Enrichers and their configuration. It's not for selecting a set of resource fragments. Currently for you to have this would be to use a different <resourceDir> (property : fabric8.resourceDir) which currently points to src/main/fabric8. This way you can have different Maven profiles pointing to different directories (e.g. src/main/fabric8-prod and src/main/fabric8-test). The drawback is, that you can't easily share resource fragments this way (you would need to copy them for now). If this is a valid use case for you, one could think about extending resourceDir to resourceDirs in order to specify multiple directories which are then merged together.

Would this solution with different resourceDirs help in your scenario ?

you could use a maven profile to add test dependencies for tests (e.g. adding test secrets or whatever)

We have the same issue as reported here.

Regarding the above comment from @rhuss:
yes, a resourceDirs property to specify multiple directories would help here, providing a means to have a separate directory for shared fragments.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had any activity since 90 days. It will be closed if no further activity occurs within 7 days. Thank you for your contributions!

I think having a way to specify multiple resource directories make still sense. This should be evaluated again when we are restructuring the fabric8 src directory to hold more flexible configuration.
