Dear Nifi dev team Can you add extended functionality to the MiNiFi toolkit to extract a flow from the NiFi Registry software and convert it to the appropriate conf.yml file?
We have found a limitation regarding the conversion in the minifi toolkit that it can only convert the .xml file template extracted from a Nifi canvas on Java version 8, it can not do the conversion on java 11 that we have migrated to. Although extracting the flow as a template out of nifi and then converting it to the conf.yaml file works we find it a bit cumbersome because we can not implement it in our pipeline to automate the process. By allowing the minifi toolkit to pull a flow from the Nifi registry and then convert it will give us the functionality to add this in our Jenkins pipeline to build individual docker containers for each of our flows.
