Hello, you might know already that you can use openQA job templates to directly specify settings for a test. See Marius' E-Mail https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2020-01/msg00246.html In YAML, you can use anchors/aliases to reuse a mapping in several places. We now switched to a new YAML module (YAML::PP) which also allows "YAML Merge Keys", that allow to reuse a mapping, and add other keys to it. ``` scenarios: arch: - jobname: machine: ... settings: &common FOO: a BAR: b - jobname2: machine: ... settings: <<: *common FOO: other value # overrides the value from *common BAZ: c ``` The location of the `<<` key is not important, it will always be overriden by keys explicitly defined in the mapping. So it should be always on top for readability. For a full example and documentation on which values take precedence, see http://open.qa/docs/#_yaml_merge_keys With that change, we are also completely compatible to YAML 1.2, while the previous YAML module only implemented a subset/mixture of 1.1 and 1.2. To get an overview which values are special and need quoting in YAML 1.2, we added a table here: http://open.qa/docs/#_general_yaml_documentation Feel free to ask any questions! cheers, tina & tools team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
