Create Structure from Within a Folder

[httpdss]

Objective:
Enable the YAML configuration to reference and include another YAML file to define folder structures within a specified directory. This enhancement will allow users to modularize their project structures by including external YAML definitions.

Requirements:

1. YAML Reference Syntax:

   • Allow the struct keyword in the YAML configuration to specify the path to another YAML file.
   • The referenced YAML file will define additional folder structures and files to be created within the specified directory.

2. Example Usage:

   • The following example demonstrates how to use the struct keyword to include another YAML file for defining the structure within the .devops/apps/myapp/ directory:

     folders:
       - .devops/apps/myapp/:
           struct: terraform-app

3. Implementation Details:

   • Parse the main YAML configuration.
   • Identify the struct keyword and its associated file path.
   • Read and parse the referenced YAML file.
   • Merge the folder structure defined in the referenced YAML file into the specified directory in the main configuration.
   • Ensure proper error handling for cases where the referenced YAML file is missing or contains invalid configurations.

4. Error Handling:

   • If the referenced YAML file does not exist, log an error and skip the structure creation for that entry.
   • If the referenced YAML file contains invalid YAML syntax or structure, log an error and skip the structure creation for that entry.

5. Testing:

   • Add unit tests to verify that the main YAML configuration correctly references and includes the structure defined in external YAML files.
   • Test edge cases, such as missing files, invalid YAML syntax, and circular references.
