Concourse Secrets Validator

Concourse is awesome. However validating whether a pipeline and its vars are complete is sub-awesome.

Pipeline vars can be surrounded with either brackets or curly braces. If a curly-braces var is missing from the vars file then fly set-pipeline will throw an error:

could not resolve old-style template vars: 1 error occurred:

* unbound variable in template: 'FooBar'

However if a var surrounded by brackets is undeclared then it'll just set the pipeline with the raw (bracketed) value.

There may be times when this behaviour is what you want, but most often I want to know that my vars are missing. Checking the set-pipeline output manually is difficult for complex pipelines.

This tool validates a pipeline definition against a set of vars files and will output:

• Any vars present in the pipeline but not declared in the vars files
• Any extra vars present in the vars files but unused in the pipeline
