supercontest.util.config

Utilities around config management.

Functions

get_sectionless_config

Takes a config file that does not have sections (headers) and returns the content anyway.

supercontest.util.config.get_sectionless_config(path: str) → dict[Any, Any]

Takes a config file that does not have sections (headers) and returns the content anyway.

The reason this function is necessary: The database config files are passed both (1) as env_file in docker compose and (2) as configparser inputs (ini style) in create_app(). Env files cannot have section headers. Ini files must have section headers.

So we keep the raw files sectionless. Docker reads them directly. The create_app() function uses this to inject fake section headers.

Note also that because ConfigParser mimics ini, and ini is case-insensitive, we cast to strings here to maintain the casing in the raw files.

Parameters:

path – Path to the config to be read.

Returns:

The key/val pairs from the config.
