Config file format
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
The configuration file parser is provided by `kobo
|
|
<https://github.com/release-engineering/kobo>`_
|
|
|
|
The file follows a Python-like format. It consists of a sequence of variables
|
|
that have a value assigned to them. ::
|
|
|
|
variable = value
|
|
|
|
The variable names must follow the same convention as Python code: start with a
|
|
letter and consist of letters, digits and underscores only.
|
|
|
|
The values can be either an integer, float, boolean (``True`` or ``False``), a
|
|
string or ``None``. Strings must be enclosed in either single or double quotes.
|
|
|
|
Complex types are supported as well.
|
|
|
|
A list is enclosed in square brackets and items are separated with commas.
|
|
There can be a comma after the last item as well. ::
|
|
|
|
a_list = [1,
|
|
2,
|
|
3,
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
A tuple works like a list, but is enclosed in parenthesis. ::
|
|
|
|
a_tuple = (1, "one")
|
|
|
|
A dictionary is wrapped in brackets, and consists of ``key: value`` pairs
|
|
separated by commas. The keys can only be formed from basic types (int, float,
|
|
string). ::
|
|
|
|
a_dict = {
|
|
'foo': 'bar',
|
|
1: None
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
The value assigned to a variable can also be taken from another variable. ::
|
|
|
|
one = 1
|
|
another = one
|
|
|
|
Anything on a line after a ``#`` symbol is ignored and functions as a comment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Importing other files
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
It is possible to include another configuration file. The files are looked up
|
|
relative to the currently processed file.
|
|
|
|
The general structure of import is: ::
|
|
|
|
from FILENAME import WHAT
|
|
|
|
The ``FILENAME`` should be just the base name of the file without extension
|
|
(which must be ``.conf``). ``WHAT`` can either be a comma separated list of
|
|
variables or ``*``. ::
|
|
|
|
# Opens constants.conf and brings PI and E into current scope.
|
|
from constants import PI, E
|
|
|
|
# Opens common.conf and brings everything defined in that file into current
|
|
# file as well.
|
|
from common import *
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Pungi will copy the configuration file given on command line into the
|
|
``logs/`` directory. Only this single file will be copied, not any included
|
|
ones. (Copying included files requires a fix in kobo library.)
|
|
|
|
The JSON-formatted dump of configuration is correct though.
|
|
|
|
Formatting strings
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
String interpolation is available as well. It uses a ``%``-encoded format. See
|
|
Python documentation for more details. ::
|
|
|
|
joined = "%s %s" % (var_a, var_b)
|
|
|
|
a_dict = {
|
|
"fst": 1,
|
|
"snd": 2,
|
|
}
|
|
another = "%(fst)s %(snd)s" % a_dict
|
