Secret files ending with .gotmpl are now also rendered as a gotemplate.
```
releases:
- name: myapp
secrets:
- secrets.yaml.gotmpl
```
Note that currently, .gotmpl files must be valid YAML files as well.
The expected use-case of this feature is to compose a YAML array from values and encrypted secrets.
Without this feature, you would have tried to do something like the below, which didn't work.
**Example (doesn't work!)**
`values.yaml.gotmpl`:
```
environment:
- name: MY_EXTERNAL_IP
value: |
{{ exec "./get-external-ip.sh" (list "") }}
```
`secrets.yaml`:
```
_sops:
#...
environment:
- name: MY_SECRET_VALUE
value: (encrypted by sops)
```
`helmfile.yaml`:
```
releases:
- name: foo
values:
- values.yaml
secrets:
- secrets.yaml
```
This doesn't work because `values.yaml` and the decrypted `secrets.yaml` are passed to `helm` to be merged, and helm overrides the array instead of merging or concatenating the arrays.
**Example (works!)**
Instead of `values.yaml` and `secrets.yaml`, you provide a single `secrets.yaml.gotmpl` that is a valid YAML and encrypted by sops:
```
_sops:
#...
environment:
- name: MY_EXTERNAL_IP
value: |
{{ exec "./get-external-ip.sh" (list "") }}
- name: MY_SECRET_VALUE
value: (encrypted by sops)
```
`helmfile.yaml`:
```
releases:
- name: foo
secrets:
- secrets.yaml.gotmpl
```
Helmfile decrypts the gotmpl by handing it over to helm-secrets and then renders the result as a gotmpl file. The end result is that you have a two-element array `environments` that can be just passed to helm.
