stackup -p errors out when file is not found about stackup HOT 7 CLOSED

Make, huh? Something like this might work:

OPTIONAL_OVERRIDES = $(patsubst %,-p %,$(wildcard extra-overrides.json))

up:
	stackup mystack up -t template.json $(OPTIONAL_OVERRIDES)

from stackup.

Hmm; I think silently ignoring missing files would be dangerous, and could be the source of surprising bugs. Better to fail fast, IMHO.

I would suggest wrapping your call to stackup with a little bit of script that checks for presence of the file concerned, and selectively adds the extra -p <file> arguments.

Could you please give an example on this -
" selectively adds the extra -p arguments".

I am trying to use it in a make file.

from stackup.

I was thinking along the lines of
overrides := $(shell if [ if [ -f "filenotfound.json" ] ]; then echo "-p defaults.json \ -p overrides.json"; else echo "-p defaults.json \ -p overrides.json \p filedoesnotexist.json"; fi)

stackup echo ${overrides} --- not sure if this syntax works

from stackup.

stackup $(overrides)... i think is the right syntax... will try it out

from stackup.

I don't think this is a bug.

I don't think this is a bug.

Agreed.
