Lesson 3 - The Archy Preprocessor
When developing flows with Archy, the Archy preprocessor is a very helpful tool to help diagnose problems with flow development. What the preprocessor does is take a flow YAML file, embed all externally referenced YAML objects, perform key / value substitutions and write out the results of this preprocessing effort. We will talk more about externally referenced objects and substitutions more in subsequent lessons but when Archy is creating flows from flow YAML, the first step it performs is to run the preprocessor to get resulting YAML that is handed to the actual processor.
The output of the preprocessor will be a JSON file that is in the same directory as the YAML file it was asked to preprocess.
Example command line:
