Confirmed working 😄

it will return a

Config

object right?

Will return a ConfigTree object which behaves the same way

BTW: you will be loosing the comments 😞

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

yeah I know

okay, that's acceptable

but using that code - how would I edit fileds?

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)

it seems apiserver_conf doesn't even change

it will return a Config object right?

👍

Config == conf_obj no?

I'll tr yto work with that

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

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

essentially editing apiserver.conf section auth.fixed_users.users

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

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

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

I'll try

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

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

yeah I guessed so

even though I apply append

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

later today or tomorrow, I'll update

Not sure about that...

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

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