So far, instances of the
KustomizeGeneratorare 'fenced' to the directory which is passed askustomizationPathwhen instantiating it. That means:kustomization.yaml(if present) cannot reference resources (bases) or patches outside that directory, such as../basesreadFiletemplate function cannot reference files outsidekustomizationPath.This gap is addressed through this PR: two new attributes are recognized in
.component-config.yaml:includedKustomizations: []string: a list of directory paths relative tokustomizationPath; targeted directories are treated as own components, rendered with the including component's parameters (values), and then supplied to kustomize at the identical pathincludedFiles: []string: a list of paths relative tokustomizationPath(single files or directories); all referenced files (recursively in case a directory is specified) can be used withreadFile.Recursive inclusions are possible, but must not lead to cycles (there is a circuit breaking logic that will fail the generator in case of cycles).
Example:
Then,
mycomp/kustomization.yamlcan reference../bases, such asand templates in
mycompcan callreadFile "../meta.yaml".
