mrutkows commented on issue #437: Question about dependency name and the origin package name URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-wskdeploy/issues/437#issuecomment-327249111 @daisy-ycguo The intent was that the dependency's <package_name> would be treated as a local alias for the actual package name as decribed in the referenced package. The referenced package would have its own Manifest file that would include its actual Package name (and the one that would be used by the wskdeploy tool to replace the local alias). Using your example above, this would mean that the template author would have the following: ``` dependencies: dependency_name: location: github.com/daisy-ycguo/wskdeploy-test/helloworld sequences: mySequence: actions: dependency_name/helloworld ``` Where the tool would be smart enough to treat ```dependency_name``` as alias for the actual package name (inside its manifest; in this case ```myhelloworld```) and perform a replacement inside the tool for invoking openwhisk APIs. This would align with the concept of creating a local alias on "import" statements seen in many languages; for example, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import uses "import x as y". where y is the local name alias. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
