Support for platforms, lifecycles, and toolchains YAML files

[samrocketman]

JSON has been great... but YAML is more flexible and user-friendly than JSON for admins to add support.

JSON will always be supported for compatibility. However, it would be nice to have YAML as an option.

Example JSON files.

• platforms.json
• lifecycles-ubuntu1604-stable.json
• toolchains-ubuntu1604-stable.json

And the same purpose files but in YAML.

• platforms.yaml
• lifecycles-ubuntu1604-stable.yaml
• toolchains-ubuntu1604-stable.yaml

This is becomes more important as support for documentation generation gets implemented in the future. Refer to issue #139.

With upcoming 2.0 release YAML will be the primary format going forward. JSON support for backwards compatibility.

https://github.com/samrocketman/jervis/blob/main/vars/hasGlobalResource.groovy was added for this purpose. e.g. detect YAML or fall back to JSON.

8da9edc hasGlobalResource enables this.

Convert platforms JSON to YAML

import net.gleske.jervis.tools.YamlOperator

String prefix = 'resources'

Map platforms = YamlOperator.loadYamlFrom(new File("${prefix}/platforms.json"))

println "Writing to '${prefix}/platforms.yaml'"
new File("${prefix}/platforms.yaml").withWriter { w ->
    w << YamlOperator.writeObjToYaml(platforms)
}

platforms.supported_platforms.collect { platform, oses ->
    [
        ['lifecycles', 'toolchains'],
        oses.collect { os, v ->
            [
                "${os}-stable",
                "${os}-unstable"
            ]
        }.flatten()
    ].combinations()*.join('-')
}.flatten().sort().unique().each { fileName ->
    if(!(new File("${prefix}/${fileName}.json").exists())) {
        // skip; unstable version doesn't likely exist
        return
    }
    println "Writing to '${prefix}/${fileName}.yaml'"
    new File("${prefix}/${fileName}.yaml").withWriter { w ->
        Map json = YamlOperator.loadYamlFrom(new File("${prefix}/${fileName}.json"))
        json.clone().each { top, v1 ->
            if(top == 'toolchains') {
                return
            }
            v1.clone().each { child, v2 ->
                if(v2 in List) {
                    json[top][child] = v2.join('\n')
                }
            }
        }
         w << YamlOperator.writeObjToYaml(json)
    }
}
