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

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?

Not sure about that...

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)

BTW: you will be loosing the comments 😞

yeah I guessed so

but using that code - how would I edit fileds?

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

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

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

Config == conf_obj no?

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

okay, that's acceptable

I'll tr yto work with that

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

yeah I know

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

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

it will return a Config object right?

👍

it will return a

Config

object right?

Will return a ConfigTree object which behaves the same way

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

it seems apiserver_conf doesn't even change

even though I apply append

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

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

I'll try

later today or tomorrow, I'll update

Confirmed working 😄
