The only way to change it is to convert apiserver_conf to a dictionary object ( as_plain_ordered_dict() ) and edit it

it seems apiserver_conf doesn't even change

WackyRabbit7 in that case:
from trains.utilities.pyhocon import ConfigFactory, HOCONConverter from trains.config import config_obj new_conf_text = HOCONConverter.to_hocon(config=ConfigFactory.from_dict(config_obj.as_plain_ordered_dict()), compact=False, level=0, indent=2) print(new_conf_text)

yeah I know

Config == conf_obj no?

Confirmed working 😄

Sorry my bad:
config_obj['sdk']['stuff']['here'] = value

BTW: you will be loosing the comments 😞

later today or tomorrow, I'll update

okay, that's acceptable

I'll tr yto work with that

AgitatedDove14 permanent. I want to start with a CLI interface that allows me add users to the trains server

I'll try

whatttt? I looked at config_obj didn't find any set method

What about:
apiserver_conf.put( "auth.fixed_users.users", list(apiserver_conf.get("auth.fixed_users.users", [])) + [{'username': username, 'password': password, 'name': name}] )

it will return a

Config

object right?

Will return a ConfigTree object which behaves the same way

However, that can easily be done using ConfigFactory.parse_file("apiserver.conf")

it will return a Config object right?

Since your aim is to end up with content you can paste into apiserver.conf (which is not loaded by Trains)

essentially editing apiserver.conf section auth.fixed_users.users

Another Q on that - does pyhocon allows me to edit the file while keeping the comments in place?

yeah I guessed so

If you need to change the values:
config_obj.set(...)You might want to edit the object on a copy, not the original 🙂

WackyRabbit7 please note that if your aim is to edit the Server's configuration, you'll need to do that without the config_obj loaded by Trains

SuccessfulKoala55 this actually doesn't work

` apiserver_conf = ConfigFactory.parse_file(API_SERVER_CONF_PATH)

POINT 1

conf_content = HOCONConverter.to_hocon(config=ConfigFactory.from_dict(apiserver_conf.as_plain_ordered_dict()),
compact=False,
level=0, indent=2)

apiserver_conf['auth']['fixed_users']['users'].append(
ConfigFactory.from_dict({'username': username, 'password': password, 'name': name}))

POINT 2

new_conf_content = HOCONConverter.to_hocon(config=ConfigFactory.from_dict(apiserver_conf.as_plain_ordered_dict()),
compact=False,
level=0, indent=2) Strangely enough running this code results in new_conf_content == conf_content to be True . Seems like through this ConfigTree ` object I can't really apply changes on the configuration file

even though I apply append

but using that code - how would I edit fileds?

Not sure about that...
