Description Matthew Robson 2016-09-09 14:02:26 UTC
3. What is the nature and description of the request?  
As a user, I want to be able to create a dynamic template with a significant number of environment variables and pass those variable values as a pre-configured JSON dictionary to the template without repeating '-e' dozens of times.

Example,

oc new-app -p = {["param1": value, "param2": "value2"....]}
  
4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)  
To be able to pre-create parameter models for templated applications and pass them in with ease

5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)  
Create a JSON Dictionary that can be checked in and stored along side application source code and passed into OCP during a build from a template

6. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.
Create a template with an app that specifies a large number of environment variables within it's deploymentconfig and pass in a set of variables to override as a single JSON dictionary.
  
7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?  
Request to pass in a parameter list as a file.  Could work well in tandem to pass in a structured JSON dictionary versus a flat set of K/V pairs.

10. List any affected packages or components.

Comment 2 Ben Parees 2016-09-09 14:44:04 UTC
if we do this i think it's much like likely we'd accept a parameter file consistent of key=value pairs, rather than a json blob on the command line.  would that be acceptable for this RFE?

This feature has been implemented in this card (https://trello.com/c/BMuLvOny/968-5-supply-oc-new-app-and-oc-process-parameter-list-env-vars-via-a-file-app-creation) and qe has tested/accepted it.so moving this bug VERIFIED.
