csantanapr opened a new issue #126: Support reading param.json from stdin URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-cli/issues/126 @alexkli commented on [Thu Oct 05 2017](https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/issues/2837) It would be useful to support reading a parameter json file from stdin for various piping scenarios, using the convention of "-" as filename: cat some.json | envsubst | wsk action invoke my-action -P - In this example we can leverage `envsubst` to replace some environment variables in the file. Without being able to read from stdin, one has to push the content into a temporary file, invoke and then delete the temp file again. From looking at the go cli code, it seems `readFile()` in [util.go](https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/blob/26146368f1dd07f817062e662db64c73a8d486d6/tools/cli/go-whisk-cli/commands/util.go#L829) could be adapted to leverage `ioutil.ReadAll(os.Stdin)` in case `filename == "-"`. One probably has to check if that is ok for all other `readFile()` usages, or if that should be a special option reserved for `-P --param-file` only. --- @alexkli commented on [Tue Oct 10 2017](https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/issues/2837#issuecomment-335628635) Provided pull request #2848.
