Usage

This recipe has required configuration parameters. Recipes with required configuration parameters cannot be activated directly. To activate this recipe you must create a new recipe which fills in the required parameters. In your rewrite.yml create a new recipe with a unique name. For example: com.yourorg.CopyValueExample. Here's how you can define and customize such a recipe within your rewrite.yml:

rewrite.yml
---
type: specs.openrewrite.org/v1beta/recipe
name: com.yourorg.CopyValueExample
displayName: Copy YAML value example
recipeList:
  - org.openrewrite.yaml.CopyValue:
      oldKeyPath: $.source.kind
      oldFilePath: src/main/resources/application.yaml
      newKey: $.dest.kind
      newFilePath: src/main/resources/application.yaml

Now that com.yourorg.CopyValueExample has been defined activate it in your build file:

  1. Add the following to your build.gradle file:

build.gradle
plugins {
    id("org.openrewrite.rewrite") version("6.10.0")
}

rewrite {
    activeRecipe("com.yourorg.CopyValueExample")
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
  1. Run gradle rewriteRun to run the recipe.
