I have a cron file and i am trying to pass it thru --set-file option. I want to loop thru the cron file lines and create for each line new Kubernetes Object of kind CronJob.
I used it like this helm instal ... --set-file crons.file=mycron
where mycron file looks like a typical cron file:
0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /usr/bin/cmd1 opta optb
35 2-23/3 * * * /usr/bin/cmd2i am not able to iterate thru lines of this simple plain text :
{{- range $indx, $line := .Values.crons.file }}
apiVersion: batch/v1beta1
kind: CronJob
metadata:
name: hello
spec:
schedule: {{ regexFind "[^/]+quot; "$line"}}
jobTemplate:
spec:
template:
spec:
containers:
- name: cron-{{ $indx }}
image: busybox
args:
- /bin/sh
- -c
- {{ regexFind "[^/]+quot; "$line"}}
restartPolicy: OnFailure
{{- end }}Is there a function like fromYaml which makes a plain text file iterable by range function ?
The Sprig support library includes functions for splitting and joining strings into lists, and for manipulating lists in general. If splitList the file on newlines, you'll get a list of lines. You can again splitList each line on spaces to get the separate time and command parts out of the individual cron lines.
{{/* Iterate over individual lines in the string */}}
{{- range $line := splitList "\n" .Values.crons.file -}}
{{/* Break the line into words */}}
{{- $words := splitList " " $line -}}
{{/* Reconstitute the schedule and command parts from the words */}}
{{- $time := slice $words 0 5 | join " " -}}
{{- $command := slice $words 5 -}}
---
schedule: {{ $time }}
command: {{- $command | toYaml | nindent 2}}
{{ end -}}
