Currently, a stage like this will obtain either a value that has directly been passed by a child stage or a value that comes from the global pipeline configuration:
def configure(context):
value = context.config("abc")In some cases, we don't want to rely on the global pipeline configuration (because we want to explicitly make sure that this stage is called with a well-chosen argument). Currently, there is no way to enforce a parameter to by passed from another stage rather from global configuration. Therefore, I'd propose to have:
def configure(context):
value = context.config("abc", parameter = True)In this case the option becomes a "parameter" to the stage. This requires some moving around of code internally in the pipeline, but should not be awfully complicated.
