https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72503 Fabian <CommodoreFabianus(a)gmx.de> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |CommodoreFabianus(a)gmx.de --- Comment #4 from Fabian <CommodoreFabianus(a)gmx.de> --- (In reply to Merlijn van Deen from comment #3) The current version of 'generate_family_file' could be run without a user config (like generate_user_files). The problem is just that pwb.py doesn't know that. Although the question is how can we pwb.py let it know? We could have just a list of files which don't require a user config, but then we need to make sure it's kept in sync with the file name(s). Or only load the (user) config as soon as the script requires it which would be the default. So in generate_family_file it's setting a environment variable to say "user config is optional" and only then it queries the code to load the config. The problem here is when a file doesn't need it but depends on a file which does. If the default (when nothing is done about it) is to require the user config (so we only need to change generate_family_file) and a file does request that it doesn't need a user config it sets that variable. Later it depends then on something which does require the user config but doesn't set the variable because by default it doesn't need to. Both scenarios sound like I'm overthinking it so maybe someone has a better and easier idea. But thinking about it, it'd be nice if generate_family_file knows which family file directories are configured to give the user the configured directories to choose from. But that would require an “load user-config.py if possible but ignore otherwise” option. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
