Comment out profiles with templates

[http403]

In my configuration file, I have a few sent-after sections combined with templates that I use for testing/debug. I want to disable them in day-to-day usage so I comented them out, but it doesn't work. Templates are still rendered. I tried using #, //, and {# #} pair. All doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Here's part of my profile:

{{ define "hook_discord" }}
method = "POST"
url = {{ template "discord_webhook_url" . }}
body-template = "templates/discord-webhook.json"
{{ end }}

{{ define "hook_discord_fail" }}
method = "POST"
url = {{ template "discord_webhook_url" . }}
body-template = "templates/discord-webhook-fail.json"
{{ end }}

# [base.backup.send-after]
# {{ template "hook_discord" . }}

# [[base.backup.send-after.headers]]
# {{ template "hook_header_json" . }}

[base.backup.send-after-fail]
{{ template "hook_discord_fail" . }}

[[base.backup.send-after-fail.headers]]
{{ template "hook_header_json" . }}

And here's the output from trace:

# [base.backup.send-after]
#
method = "POST"
url = "<hidden>"
body-template = "templates/discord-webhook.json"


# [[base.backup.send-after.headers]]
#
name = "Content-Type"
value = "application/json"


[base.backup.send-after-fail]

method = "POST"
url = "<hidden>"
body-template = "templates/discord-webhook-fail.json"


[[base.backup.send-after-fail.headers]]

name = "Content-Type"
value = "application/json"

Hi @http403,

Templates don't follow TOML or YAML markup (the are one level above).
Try: {{ /* template "hook_discord" . */ }} to disable a template call.

You can also do the following:

{{ if .Env.DEBUG }}{{ template "hook_discord" . }}{{ end }}

And then set DEBUG to conditionally enable the hook:

DEBUG=1 resticprofile ...

(You can also place the if conditions inside your defines and leave the template calls as they are)

Thanks. I went on the route of using environment variable. The only catch is PowerShell doesn't support temperary env. If I can access the --verbose or --trace flag that would be extra nice, but that's a seprate topic.
