feature request: test varci config file

[BerkeleyTrue]

It would be great if there were some way to test a varci file before merge. Maybe a simple parse to see if the file is the proper syntax to start. It could use the webhook to listen for changes to(or the addition of) the varci yaml file.

@BerkeleyTrue there actually is, it's just not documented yet 😞 .

You should be able to do:

cat .varci.yml | curl --data-binary @- https://var.ci/validate

Let me know if you run into any trouble.

I should mention, this is only limited to validating the configuration file.

A simulator is in the planning stages ATM.

@BerkeleyTrue we pushed some automated validation on the PR that introduces a .varci.yml file (or modifications to) in a connected repository:

Let me know what you think!

[BerkeleyTrue]

Oh yiss!

Let me come up with a reason to change our varci file and give it a go!
