Get version of specific package in aqua.yaml config

[SanderKnape]

Feature Overview

I'm looking for an easy way to get a configured version in the aqua.yaml for a specific package.

Why is the feature needed?

In some cases I don't want to use Aqua to install a package, but I'd like to treat the aqua.yaml as the "single source of truth" for which package versions I want installed.

More specifically: I'm using tflint in GitHub Actions and I want to use the setup-tflint action for installing tflint (instead of aqua) as that action also sets up the problem matcher. I do want to use the version configured in the aqua.yaml so that we use the same version locally.

Right now the following works, but it's not great:

- run: echo "TFLINT_VERSION=$(yq '.packages[] | select(.name | contains("tflint")) | .name | split("@")[1]' aqua.yaml)" >> $GITHUB_ENV
- uses: terraform-linters/setup-tflint@v4
  with:
    tflint_version: ${{ env.TFLINT_VERSION }}

Example Code

There's a few ways this could be implemented.

$ aqua list -installed --format json
{
  "terraform-linters/tflint": "v0.55.0"
}

Add a (global) config option to return JSON to make it easier to grab the version.

Or add a more specific command that outputs the version.

How about this?

$ aqua which -v tflint
v0.55.0

It totally didn't occur to me to look at the which subcommand considering its description. Maybe a small addition to the description would make sense?

Thanks for the quick reply! This is great.
