Obviously they are very useful. I still don't think they should exist in this usage of yaml.
Once you allow setting and reading of variables in a configuration file, you lose the safety that makes the format useful. You might as well be using a bash script at that point.
- nirvdrum 1y agoYou already can set and read variables. The `matrix` section is often used to test against multiple versions of software. Environment variables can be referenced. And the project configuration supports both secrets and variables configured at the project level.
- devmor 1y agoSorry, I think my comment was not clear. I think allowing both setting and reading of variables directly in the configuration file is a problem. Not reading variables that have been set outside of the configuration file alone.
