Have doit read global vars from doit.cfg
Dear all,
I would like to propose the following feature in doit (I have to say that I am a doit newbie I might have misunderstood something here).
I basically would like to contribute to "global vars" from a doit.cfg file.
By that, I mean that the following should be equivalent:
doit broker_host=... broker_token=...
[GLOBAL]
broker_host = ...
broker_token = ...
A better proposal would be to use a different name for the init section, maybe the [CONFIG] tag could be a good fit.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I am currently working around this limition by using th [task:<task-name] feature of doit.cfg.
My code then includes the following function wrapper:
def get_task_option(task, key):
"""Get the key option from the input task object.
Tries to task.cfg_values.get first, task.options.get second and
doit.get_var third.
Return the value if something is found or raises ValueError if not.
"""
key_with_underscore = key.replace("-", "_")
cfg_value = task.cfg_values.get(key_with_underscore) if task.cfg_values else None
cli_value = task.options.get(key_with_underscore) if task.options else None
global_value = doit.get_var(key)
if cfg_value is not None:
return cfg_value
elif cli_value is not None:
return cli_value
elif global_value is not None:
return global_value
else:
raise ValueError(f"Missing required parameter '{key}'")This effectively makes the params global.
