provider-http in Composition with function-go-templating does not work with secrets

[briantopping]

What happened?

#66 (comment) indicates to the reporter that they could try using function-go-templating.

provider-http provides a means to resolve the contents of secrets, delimiting the secret name as {{ name:namespace:key }}.

How can these be used together? The inclusion of this content causes the function-go-templating engine to fail while processing the interpolation key because of the double-squigglies.

This would be an excellent addition to the composition example.

What environment did it happen in?

Crossplane version: 1.17.1

Hi @briantopping,

To resolve this error, you can escape the curly braces so that the Go function doesn’t try to process them as template syntax.

Here’s an example to escape the curly braces:

"Authorization": 'Bearer {{`{{`}} bearerToken:crossplane-system:http-provider {{`}}`}}'

Please give the escaping method a try and let me know if it resolves your issue. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to reach out.

Ah, very cool! I was looking around for that and didn't find it anywhere. Cheers!
