Variable: clone method

clone-method

This sets clone method!

There are three clone methods:

1. default, missing - This is the default mehod! It clones just missing variables! Yaml:

   - id: hello
     stack: APPLE
   - clone-method: default
     clone: $hello
     stack: DIRT
     # Final item will be DIRT

   Groovy:

   item('APPLE') {
     id 'hello'
   }
   itemClone('$hello') {
     cloneMethod 'default'
     stack.type 'DIRT'
     // Final item will be DIRT
   }

2. override - This always clones all variables from parent item!

   Yaml:

   - id: hello
     stack: APPLE
   - clone-method: override
     clone: $hello
     stack: DIRT
     # Final item will be APPLE

   Groovy:

   item('APPLE') {
     id 'hello'
   }
   itemClone('$hello') {
     cloneMethod 'override'
     stack.type 'DIRT'
     // Final item will be APPLE
   }

3. increment, increment-<method> - This merges two lists (for example items:) and for other variables uses method after dash increment-missing, increment-override

   Yaml:

   - id: hello
     stack: APPLE
     items:
     - stack: ...
     - stack: ...
   - clone-method: increment
     clone: $hello
     stack: DIRT
     # Final item will be DIRT
     items:
     - stack: ...
     - stack: ...
     # Final number of childs will be 4

   Groovy:

   item('APPLE') {
     id 'hello'
   
     item('...')
     item('...')
   }
   itemClone('$hello') {
     cloneMethod 'increment'
     stack.type 'DIRT'
     // Final item will be DIRT
     item('...')
     item('...')
     // Final number of childs will be 4
   }
