Allow referencing a Private Orb from within another Private Orb

Referencing public orbs from within other orbs is already possible. This is a request to extend that feature to Private Orbs, so that one private orb can be referenced from anther.

It's no longer possible to turn orb-tools/pack validation off as of v11. See https://github.com/CircleCI-Public/orb-tools-orb/pull/125. (My workaround was to manually re-implement pack without validation.)

This issue should now resolved. Let me know if you have any further trouble with nesting private orbs. Cheers!

How is the issue resolved? What versions of the CLI are needed to resolve this?

Paul Vitic

The current workaround is to turn orb-tools/pack job validation off at CircleCI config.yml, as in:

workflows:
  test-pack:
    unless: << pipeline.parameters.run-integration-tests >>
    jobs:
      - orb-tools/lint
      - orb-tools/pack:
          use-orb-pack: true
          validate: false # if true validation of private orb declaration at @orb.yml fails

Ritchie Clark

Absolutely agree.
