Implement ashwanthkumar/gocd-build-github-pull-requests about gocd-yaml-config-plugin HOT 2 OPEN

Hi @marandalucas

It is already possible to make references to pluggable materials. The limitation is that you still need to keep scms element in XML.

For example, when your github PR plugin is configured in XML with

<scms>
<scm id="7e0072f2-dd30-4cdc-b618-336be0e5e14d" name="Portal-pull-request">
<pluginConfiguration id="github.pr" version="1" />
<configuration>
<property>
<key>url</key>
<value>mygit_repo</value>
</property>
<property>
<key>username</key>
<value>blablabla</value>
</property>
<property>
<key>password</key>
<encryptedValue>gjhgjhghgjhgjhghjgj</encryptedValue>
</property>
</configuration>
</scm>
</scms>

You can use that in yaml with

...
materials:
  myPluggableGit:
    scm: 7e0072f2-dd30-4cdc-b618-336be0e5e14d
...

But if that is too much a limitation and you want to implement storing scms in yaml, that is also possible. Although 99% of work will be on server side in https://github.com/gocd/gocd . I can help with that.
Let me know if above config is what you needed, I am not sure if that actually works. But I know a few people are using github PR plugin, you search the chat

from gocd-yaml-config-plugin.

For reference, the server side issue for building feature branches gocd/gocd#6123

from gocd-yaml-config-plugin.
