Add `excludes` keyword to batch spec schema
Created by: courier-new
Currently the only way to exclude individual workspaces from the set resolved for running a batch spec against is by modifying the repositoriesMatchingQuery
with -repo:<repo-to-exclude>
, which can quickly muddy up a complex search query and is not the most flexible way of expressing exclusions (for example for monorepos, it's not possible to exclude a specific repo path this way).
The better solution would be to build exclusions into the batch spec schema, using the same patterns as on
.
This could fit in a couple of different ways. For example, it could just be another child of on
with the excludes
keyword to distinguish it:
on:
- repositoriesMatchingQuery: guess-who type:repo
- repository: github.com/sourcegraph/hidden-laser
- excludes:
- repository: github.com/sourcegraph/archived-thing
Alternatively, it could be included as another property of repositoriesMatchingQuery
itself:
on:
- repositoriesMatchingQuery: guess-who type:repo
excludes:
- repository: github.com/sourcegraph/archived-thing
- repository: github.com/sourcegraph/hidden-laser
The keyword could also be called except
.
