Question: Testing rendered ConfigMaps

[JasonCrease]

We have some ConfigMaps with complicated data items for configuration files and such. Since these are strings, we end up doing a lot of contains and matchRegex to ensure things are within the file. But since the Strings are usually structured, we'd love to be able to do something like:

templates:
  - configmap.yaml
[...]
    asserts:
      - equal:
          path: data.big_config_file\.yaml
          location: storage.db.username[2]
          pattern: "john_smith"

i.e. Using JSONPath to locate items in Strings.

Is this a feature on the backlog? Or is there a workaround? Thanks!

Hello @JasonCrease ,

I see some similarity in the issue #85.
I do want to implement a kind of improved validator for mappings, but i'm currently investigating on how the implement this the best way (with the limited time i have).

Currently you are already using the workaround by using contains and regex.
