Is Microcks importer able to propagate labels onto Services ?

[GuillaumeGONANO]

Hello

We have a use case where we'd like the Microcks importer to :

1. import in the same "move" (importer) the Mock definitions from the Git repository into Microcks
2. AND apply the importer's label(s) onto the imported entry in the Microcks "API & Services" list

Currently we can use this workaround :

1. Have the "basic" importer for the Mock definitions
2. PLUS have a secondary importer for metadata, containing label(s) in the .yaml file, to apply onto the imported Mock
   (as per documentation here : https://microcks.io/documentation/using/advanced/metadata/)

For obvious reasons (ease of use, high number of importer, maintainability, ...) we would prefer this done in a single shot/importer.

Thanks

Hey!

As of today, the labels you put in importers are not propagated directly to the discovered Services during the import. This because it may be a 1-Many relationship and also because no one asked for it yet 😉

That said - depending on the kind of artifact you're having - you may have the application of labels on your Service if you're using our OpenAPI or AsyncAPI extensions.

If using Postman Collection, unfortunately, there's no way today to specify additional labels to apply. Maybe Postman Collection format supports such things? If knowledgeable on this, please share it with us...
