@derks: I just added
app.config.parse_file('%s/config/facetracker.conf' % os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))))) before app.run() and it worked... I'd like default values in the project that can be superseded by the values in system and user configurations.
do you think this is this an elegant solution?
@derks when I was testing the example in Extending CementApp I noticed that if I attempted to access the "api" configurations in the "load" function they weren't there yet, but they were their at "pre_run". This was confusing to me, as the config must have been read to run the "load" function (as that is contingent on "enable_plugin" being true) at that time. Is this an intentional state? please explain.
The
load() function is called durint app.setup() … so, you shouldn’t expect things to be ready to use in load()
Some will work, some won’t… because it depends on the load order
You want to do a
post_setup or pre_run hook
@derks Without looking too hard I wanted to ask you if you've already implemented somewhere (or plan to do so in the future) an dependency injector service for cement. I've located dependency_injector on pypi and it looks like a somewhat reasonable package at first glance, just didn't want to blaze down old roads. Thanks.
@all just a note to let everyone know that I will be retiring this Gitter channel in the near future and will be using Slack instead. Everything I do elsewhere including work, etc is all in Slack and so it really makes sense for me to have everything in one place (and easier to keep up with responses when necessary). Please let me know if you have any questions… you can join here: https://join.slack.com/t/cementframework/shared_invite/enQtMzUzOTIzMDQwNjEwLThkY2FiYWU5ZmQ5ZmEzNGMzMTkyMDgzNTk2MWI0MGU1YWNmNTVmODgxYWNlZjJkZDBmODc0ZjM2MDg5ZmYyOTA
I want to add command line optional -c to set up config path. what should I do
@x007007007 this is difficult because config file parsing happens before command line arguments are
It’s come up before, and I’ve tried to solve it before, but never to completion
That said… since then, there have been new features added like
app.reload() which could be called after if -c was passed. I would start by trying to add a pre_run hook that looks for -c and if passed, do app.config.parse_file() (that file), then app.reload() … but there are plenty of logistical issues that might arrise.
@/all just a reminder that this channel has moved to Slack. Please join if you are interested in staying connected. Once Cement 3 is released this channel will go away completely. https://join.slack.com/t/cementframework/shared_invite/enQtMzU0OTc5MDQ4NDA0LWMwMzZiOTczZjM4ZjFiZDE3MDk4MzA5ZmYxNmZjNTk4NzUwMzcyN2VlMDc5NzIxYjQ1NzlmNzgyNDFjMWJmMWY
