Hi!

It's working fine!! Thanks!

We don't yet have negation in the declarative yaml recipes; we only have that when writing Java recipes

We'd like to keep logic out of the yaml files if we can, as that's fairly hard to maintain going forward.

Hi! Did you already look at our existing MergeYaml recipe? Does that (not) work for you?

Hi!

Is it possible to use this recipe in a declarative recipe in Yaml without writing my own recipe in Java? Because I don't see an option for a file (or file pattern).

from rewrite.

Right now that recipe is usable from declarative recipes as well: https://docs.openrewrite.org/recipes/yaml/mergeyaml
You can limit what files this is applied to through preconditions: https://docs.openrewrite.org/reference/yaml-format-reference#preconditions

from rewrite.

Only one question about preconditions, is there a way to do a negation, for example "if not found in files" with this
