[Configobj-develop] wrong configfile passes successfully a specfile

[F. <bou...@gm...>]

 Hi,

I don't know if it is a bug or if I'm using the library in a wrong way
but I can pass successfully a configfile which is obviously wrong.

here, the files:
cat monte.py
http://pastebin.com/2Z8JUHrH
cat choices.conf
http://pastebin.com/EstuqNhK
cat specs.conf
http://pastebin.com/EVhh6vfy

_________________
If choices.conf is

[Pierre]
Lundi=r

then it prints OOPS.


_________________
If choices.conf is

[Pierre]
Lundi=r

[Paul]
Lundi=r


then it prints OOPS.


But if only one variable named Lundi is wrong, it prints 'OK'


Do you have any idea? I didn't any clue in the documentation, maybe I
missed an option...

Regards,
Francois.

No, there is no way to revert a merge. You could copy the ConfigObj 
instance first and do the merge into a copy though.

Just the validate the config with the configspec and the spec defaults
will be used.  If you plan to rewrite the config file with defaults
from the configspec you may want to set copy=True.

This should be f.close() - when I change this I get the following 
results from your code (which I think is what you were expecting):

else
True
Fred Smith
<type 'float'>
['arms', 'legs', 'head', 'body', 'others']

All the best,

Hello Tom,

validate doesn't include an "option list" validation built in, but it 
would be very easy to add. See this article on writing and using custom 
validators and look at the validate source code (very short) for some 
examples:

[Configobj-develop] Validate a list

[Tom <to...@go...>]

Hi,

i use a configspec and want to validate a string_list. How to do this?

My configspec contains:
days = list(min=7, max=7, default=list('Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu',
'Fri', 'Sat', 'Sun'))


How can i check that the days-list only contains possible values (like
Mon) and not something like 'testday' ?

What i need is something like a multioption list.

I want to use this for a web-interface with checkboxes.


Cheers,

Tom

[Configobj-develop] writing validation programmatically

[<tin...@li...>]

Hallo,
I was suggest to use this module to handle configuration values that can be 
modify via GUI from the user.
I find the program powerful and quite easy to understan. 
However I'm stuck trying to write the validation file programatically.
Here is my code; apparently if I write a file with the fileobject function f.
write, I have some error and all values are read as strings.I suspect a problem 
with the encoding, as writing the same file directly works all right (it is  
the example provided in the tutorial).
if you could give me hints how to write the file prgorammatically it would be 
great.

config = ConfigObj()
config.filename = 'config.ini'
config['name'] = 'Fred Smith'
config['Favourites'] = {}
config['Favourites']['color'] = 'Mostly Red'
config['Favourites']['software'] = {'ide': 'Emacs'}
config.write()

valstr = '''name = string(min=1, max=30, default=Fred)
age = float(min=0, max=200, default=29)
attributes = string_list(min=5, max=5, default=list('arms', 'legs', 'head', 
'body', 'others'))
likes_cheese = boolean(default=True)
favourite_color = option('red', 'green', 'blue', default="red")
'''

f = open ('configspec.ini','w')
f.write(valstr)
f.close

config = ConfigObj('config.ini', configspec='configspec.ini')

validator = Validator()
result = config.validate(validator)

if result != True:
    print 'Config file validation failed!'
else:
    print 'else'
    
    
#config = ConfigObj('config.ini', configspec='configspec.ini')
validator = Validator()
a=config.validate(validator)
print a
print config['name']
print type(config['age'])
print  config['attributes']

As of ConfigObj 4.7.0 you can use the get_extra_values function to find 
out if there were any additional values, not covered by the configspec, 
in a config file:

Hi,

i use validate and a configspec to validate my config file. But it's
still possible to write any other key/values (not mentioned in my

True. How to handle this?

Re: [Configobj-develop] question about config files inclusions

[Etienne R. <er...@gt...>]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your input!

I like the idea of defaults settings too. This makes packages that needs
configuration files to override only the desired settings. However, as you
pointed out, my use case is hairy and my development.ini needs some 
refactoring as its having a tendency to accumulate too many sections.
Shorter config files would be best. Thus, a include statement would include
all config items and merge them in a Section instance. I will look for 
doing
a patch as this seems a easy fix..

Hmmm... I prefer defaults, which obviously doesn't meet all use cases. 
I'm not sure about this - there are lots of (over the years) different 
feature requests for cross-referencing, including files, a heirarchy of 
config files and so on. No single proposal strikes me as particularly 
elegant nor meets *all* the use cases.

I'm open to patches (with tests and documentation of course), but this

[Configobj-develop] question about config files inclusions

[Etienne R. <er...@gt...>]

Hi,

would there be any way to include config files from within
a config section ?

I would like doing the following:

[item1]
include path/to/item1.ini

Although this seems to break the current RFC-822 rule
for config files section as this statement is missing the equal
syntax control block. However, this would be a great way
to make ConfigObj even more powerful; allowing config items to recycle
common config items. Would there be a better way to include shared
config items with ConfigObj ?

Much thanks in advance,

Etienne

I'm afraid not. It's a good suggestion, but would be very hard to

[Configobj-develop] Multiline list values

Hi All,

is there a way to put a list in multiple lines (to help reading).

May be something like this:

MultilineList = (element 1, element 2, element 3,
                  element 4, element 6, element 7)


Thanks in advance,

Hi Chris,

Well if you use '_inspec=True' in the constructor it switches off inline 
comment parsing - but that is for parsing configspecs and I wouldn't 
necessarily guarantee to support it forever in the future...

 >>> import configobj
 >>> c = configobj.ConfigObj(['foo = hello # bar'], _inspec=True)

ConfigObj({'foo': 'hello # bar'})

The test failures you posted make me think you aren't running the tests 
against the most recent version of ConfigObj. For example:

     'ConfigObj' object has no attribute 'as_list'

If I try this:

 >>> import configobj
 >>> configobj.__version__
     '4.7.2'
 >>> c = configobj.ConfigObj()
 >>> c.as_list
<bound method ConfigObj.as_list of ConfigObj({})>

[Configobj-develop] inline comments

[Chris J. <cm...@te...>]

Hey

Is it possible to disable inline comments (for both reading and writing
configs)? I have no particular desire to support them in my config
files, but I would like to be able to have html style colour codes
without quoting.

Cheers,

I use Ubuntu 9.10, python version 2.6.4 , from the distributions repository.
I have attached the complete test results, when I run "python
test_configobj.py".

That runs most of the tests. There are some unit tests as well. I use 
unittest2 test discovery (the discover module should work as well - both 
are on PyPI) to run these.

Hmm... What version of Python are you using and what operating system? 
Can you show the actual test failures (the results), thanks.

Re: [Configobj-develop] Self referencing variable names

[Mohanaraj G. K. <mo...@gm...>]

Is there someplace I can refer to get an idea as to how to run the tests. I
have done

cd configobj-4.7.2/tests
python test_configobj.py

and get the follwing result

3 items had failures:
   2 of   7 in configobj.Section.as_int
   1 of   6 in configobj.Section.merge
   2 of   6 in configobj.Section.walk
***Test Failed*** 5 failures.

However I get these same results when I try to run the tests before applying
my patch.

Any advice ?

Mohan

Hi Mohanaraj,

Do the tests still pass with your patch applied? For a patch to be 
considered it should include tests for the new behavior and preferably a 
docs patch as well. :-)

All the best,

Michael Foord

[Configobj-develop] Self referencing variable names

[Mohanaraj G. K. <mo...@gm...>]

Hi guys,

I have been trying to come up with a config file that look as follows

--
log_dir = '/var/log'
oltp_host = localhost
olap_host = $oltp_host

[app]
log_dir = ${log_dir}/app
oltp_host = $oltp_host
olap_host = $olap_host
--
And access it with the following trivial code:

--
import configobj
from configobj import ConfigObj
configobj.DEFAULT_INTERPOLATION ='Template'
a = ConfigObj('./config.ini')
print a
--

However when i try to access it with the following code I get
 "configobj.InterpolationLoopError: interpolation loop detected in value
"log_dir". "

Looking at the code it seems to be because of the common names. I have
implemented a naive hack that will allow for params to have the same names
as their values, by ensuring that they don't end up referencing to
themselves. I realise that this is not a complete fix and there are still
cases where this will break down,  but I would just like to know what you
guys think ? I have attached the patch to this email.

Thanks
