Hi @vnourdin

It seems like you edited the issue template and removed some key questions. Especially, why you think faas-cli should work that way.

Explaining and defending why you want us to make a custom change for you, is just as important as tell us what the change is that you desire. How is this affecting you? Why do you need the proposed change? This is your opportunity to convince us.

Hi @alexellis, thanks for your response, I updated the issue with the reason why I find this behavior problematic and also the workaround I use.

I had a quick look at this because it seemed familiar - I was recalling how the gateway priority operates.

This is how the template priority is determined:

And this is how the gateway priority is determined:

During build, and prior to the target template being determined, the yaml file has been parsed so the templates configured in the stack should be known....However, if the gateway approach was followed this would break the build where a stack had both bespoke and default templated functions.

So, if this was approved, I think we'd be looking to ascertain whether the stack contained any functions requiring the default templates and if it doesn't then skipping over the default template pull:

And relying only on the configuration template pull:

@vnourdin @alexellis Is this issue resolved, since now we first check for configuration template pull and if it is not present then only pull the default template repo: https://github.com/openfaas/faas-cli/blob/master/commands/build.go#L167-L181

If something still needs to be done, please inform.

Hi @NikhilSharmaWe I don't know if it's resolved.

Can you try it out and confirm?

faas-cli template store pull golang-middleware

faas-cli new --lang golang-middleware --prefix ttl.sh config1

Add to config1.yml

config:
  templates:
  - name: golang-middleware

Remove the templates:

rm -rf template

Then check :

alex@bq:/tmp/test$ faas-cli build -f config1.yml

Looks like it's still an issue, so yes will need a fix please.
