👍

okay, that's acceptable

yeah I know

Not sure about that...

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

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

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

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

BTW: you will be loosing the comments 😞

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)

I'll try

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

it will return a

Config

object right?

Will return a ConfigTree object which behaves the same way

Confirmed working 😄

yeah I guessed so

https://github.com/allegroai/trains/blob/master/trains/backend_config/config.py

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

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

later today or tomorrow, I'll update

essentially editing apiserver.conf section auth.fixed_users.users

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)

even though I apply append

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

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

I'll tr yto work with that

but using that code - how would I edit fileds?

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

Config == conf_obj no?
