[SOLVED] Insert text in YAML form, from a variable or file.yml to another YAML file

Issue

I have a YAML file ( GitLab-ci.yml )

deploy-perf:
  extends: .deploy-np
  environment:
    name: perf
  variables:
    APP_NAME: $APP_NAME_PERF
    PCF_MF_FILE: 'manifest.perf.yml'
  rules:
    - if: '$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH =~ /^([fF]eature|[rR]elease).*$/'


validate-ci:
  extends: .healthcheck-v1
  variables:
    HEALTH_CHECK_URL: "https://[URL]/index.html"
  rules:
    - if: '$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH =~ /^([fF]eature).*$/'

validate-g1:
  extends: .healthcheck-v1
  variables:
    HEALTH_CHECK_URL: "https://[URL]/index.html"
  rules:
    - if: '$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH =~ /^([fF]eature).*$/'

I want to insert the below text or job in the above file at the position above 'validate-ci:' line

deploy-PROD:
  extends: .deploy-PROD
  environment:
    name: prod
  variables:
    APP_NAME: $APP_NAME_PROD
    PCF_MF_FILE: 'manifest.perf.yml'
  rules:
    - if: '$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH =~ /^([fF]eature|[rR]elease).*$/'

I am trying with sed but the indentation is not coming up accurately.

sed -re '/validate-ci,*/i'"`echo $MYVAR`" cifile.yml

or

sed -re '/validate-ci,*/i'"`cat prodjob.yml`" cifile.yml

If somebody could help me with this is much appreciated

I am fine if accomplished with python or bash and sed/awk combinations.

Solution

This might work for you (GNU sed & bash):

cat <<\! | sed '/validate-ci:/e cat /dev/stdin;echo' file
deploy-PROD:
  extends: .deploy-PROD
  environment:
    name: prod
  variables:
    APP_NAME: $APP_NAME_PROD
    PCF_MF_FILE: 'manifest.perf.yml'
  rules:
    - if: '$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH =~ /^([fF]eature|[rR]elease).*$/'  
!
