Multiple issues for anyway_config load_from_sources

[mslinn]

This is a question regarding a Ruby (not Rails) command-line program with RSpec tests.

This configuration file exists at ~/.treeconfig.yml and inside the project at config/treeconfig.yml.

test:
  git_timeout: 7
  verbosity: 2
  default_roots:
    - my_gems
    - my_plugins

development:
  git_timeout: 7
  verbosity: 2
  default_roots:
    - my_gems
    - my_plugins

production:
  git_timeout: 300
  verbosity: 2
  default_roots: [sites, sitesUbuntu, work]

The RSpec test is:

require "anyway/testing"
require_relative "../spec_helper"

describe GitTree::GTConfig, type: :config do

  context "when the environment is not set" do
    Anyway::Settings.current_environment = nil
    it "raises an error" do
      Anyway::Settings.current_environment = nil
      expect { config }.to raise_error(RuntimeError, /Anyway::Settings environment/)
    end
  end

  context "when the environment is set" do
    Anyway::Settings.current_environment = "test"
    it "does not raise an error" do
      expect { config }.not_to raise_error
    end
  end

  context "with attributes" do
    Anyway::Settings.current_environment = "test"
    config = described_class.new
    config.load_from_sources([
                               { type: :yml }, # Loads from this YAML file
                               { type: :env }  # Then overrides from ENV (e.g., MYAPP_HOST)
                             ], config_path: 'config/treeconfig.yml')
...

Only the last test shown has any issues; the preceding tests pass.

Notice the last statement above. I had to add config_path: option to the parameter list.
It does not seem to matter what goes there; at first the value I provided was config/treeconfig.yml. The docs do not mention this option, but whatever it is for, apparently it was called path before.

I get this error when RSpec runs:

An error occurred while loading ./spec/git_tree/gt_config_spec.rb.
Failure/Error:
  config.load_from_sources([
                             { type: :yml }, # Loads from this YAML file
                             { type: :env }  # Then overrides from ENV (e.g., MYAPP_HOST)
                           ], config_path: 'config/treeconfig.yml')

TypeError:
  no implicit conversion of String into Integer
# ./spec/git_tree/gt_config_spec.rb:25:in 'block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

# ./spec/git_tree/gt_config_spec.rb:4:in '<top (required)>'
# ./binstub/rspec:16:in 'Kernel#load'
# ./binstub/rspec:16:in '<main>'

Looking at anyway_config-2.7.2/lib/anyway/loaders/yaml.rb we see:

def parse_yml(path)
        return {} unless File.file?(path)

parse_yml is called with path set to config/treeconfig.yml/treeconfig.yml,
which looks like an error.

If I change the final parameter for load_from_sources to config_path: 'config' I get a different error:

Failure/Error: { type: :yml }, # Loads from this YAML file

ArgumentError:
  missing keyword: :env_prefix
# ./spec/git_tree/gt_config_spec.rb:26:in 'block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

Hey,

First, #load_from_sources is a private method, and is not supposed for public usage. You can use #load or simply .new—that should be enough.

The config_path: value must be a path to the configs directory.

The env_prefix is required by Env loader.

There are other required parameters (by some loaders), see https://github.com/palkan/anyway_config?tab=readme-ov-file#custom-loaders.
