checks-packages-create

A Liquibase flow file to create themed checks packages, and the overall checks-package file to be used in checks commands.

This repo is primarily about the file liquibase-create-checks-packages.flow.yaml

This flow file generates the checks-packages artifacts shipped with Liquibase:

• liquibase.checks-settings.conf (if it doesnt exist)

• liquibase.checks-package.yaml

• checks-packages (a directory)

  -- liquibase.checks.access-control.yaml

  -- liquibase.checks.data-protection.yaml

  -- liquibase.checks.schema-protection.yaml

  -- liquibase.checks.changeset-standards.yaml

  -- liquibase.checks.coding-standards.yaml

But the real value is to serve as a template for generating your own checks packages if you already have a base checks-settings file which you would like to split into themed checks settings file in a sub-dir, controlled by a checks-package file.

quick start

1. download liquibase.create-check-package.flow.yaml and liquibase.checks-package-header.yaml
2. place in CWD
3. run liquibase flow --checks-settings-file=liquibase.create-check-package.flow.yaml
4. this will create sub-dir (./checks-pkgs) with 5 themed checks-settings files
5. this will create a liquibase.checks-package.yaml which lists these packages
