What problem are you trying to solve?

I tried with AppendToTextFile but I have an exception java.lang.ClassCastException: class org.openrewrite.yaml.tree.Yaml$Documents cannot be cast to class org.openrewrite.text.PlainText
It is working with org.openrewrite.java.spring.AddSpringProperty
Hi! Did you already look at our existing MergeYaml recipe? Does that (not) work for you?
Hi!
Is it possible to use this recipe in a declarative recipe in Yaml without writing my own recipe in Java? Because I don't see an option for a file (or file pattern).
Right now that recipe is usable from declarative recipes as well: https://docs.openrewrite.org/recipes/yaml/mergeyaml
You can limit what files this is applied to through preconditions: https://docs.openrewrite.org/reference/yaml-format-reference#preconditions
Oh good ! I will try and close this issue if all is ok !
Hi!
It's working fine!! Thanks!
Only one question about preconditions, is there a way to do a negation, for example "if not found in files" with this
We don't yet have negation in the declarative yaml recipes; we only have that when writing Java recipes
We'd like to keep logic out of the yaml files if we can, as that's fairly hard to maintain going forward.
