Does sdk support File core type as remote url too?

[stray saddle]

Hey folks 👋

I have usecase where I wanna set file parameter to dagger cli call as a remote url, just sneaking around to see if there's inherent way already?

[lunar geyser]

Hey!

If the remote url is a git repo then yes you can pass in a file.

Here is an example

dagger call my-function --file-url https://github.com/jpadams/azure-for-dagger#main:main.go

In this case:

REPO: https://github.com/jpadams/azure-for-dagger

BRANCH: 
#main

PATH TO FILE: 
:main.go

I am going add this to our cookbook since I could not find it there

[stray saddle]

Remote url is actually from jfrog , so it's not supported?

[lunar geyser]

I don't think so

Is this something that can be taken as a feature request?

[lunar geyser]

Yeah for sure, please feel free to add any request as issues to our main repo!

@strong garden it feels like this whole section is missing "File arguments"

https://docs.dagger.io/api/arguments/

In the meantime, there is a dag.http method that you may be able to use inside of your function to grab the file that way.

In that case instead of file, you accept a string argument and then pass it along to dag.HTTP

(also can't find a good example in the docs but here the raw graphQL spec: https://docs.dagger.io/api/reference/#query-http)

Thanks @lunar geyser

Ok good catch, I'll add examples for that

@lunar geyser Can you please create an issue and assign to me?
