Hi,

If you include a child config file in your main config file, Catalyst will see the child configuration as a part of the parent so it shouldn't be any diffrence.

Hi there,

Thank you I did not see that!  For others it is here:

http://search.cpan.org/~tlinden/Config-General-2.49/General.pm#INCLUDES

Which brings the second question, now that one includes this
configuration from the parent project, e.g. the database connection
info, how will the Catalyst model for this DB properly pick it up?
Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema expects to find it in tags starting with
Model e.g. <Model::DB> and it won't be like this for the parent
configuration. Is there a way for Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema to
read from a different config section?

best,
Leandro

Hi Leandro,

If you use Config::General style configuration files, search for "include" string in the POD documentation of Config::General module and you will find the syntax used for including another config file.

For example, if you want to include the file external.conf in a certain place in another configuration file, you can use:

<<include external.conf>>

Hi Octavian,

Thank you for the information, I am a bit confused how to implement it
though, what do you mean "include that configuration file in both the
master configuration and Catalyst configuration files"?

Suppose I have my master project directory:

myproject/
lib/
... other dirs...
myproject.conf
web/ <---- Catalyst application directory
inc/
lib/
myproject_web.conf
script/
t/

In myproject.conf I would have the database connection info amongst
other configuration used by the overall project:

<DB>
schema_class ...
<connect_info>
dsn ...
username ...
password ...
AutoCommit 1
</connect_info>
</DB>

In the Catalyst configuration myproject_web.conf I would have things
specific to Catalyst:

name MyApp::Web
default_view HTML
....

How would I have Catalyst be able to include the configuration
automatically from myproject.conf outside the Catalyst app dir?

best,
Leandro

There may be other ways, but you could create a separate configuration file that contains the database connection settings only and include that configuration file in both the master configuration and Catalyst configuration files. If you'll want to change the database connection settings, you will need to change it in a single place.

Dear all,

My apologies if I haven't seen the post with the answer, I've looked
all over and get explanations for not exactly the same thing. I have a
big project of which the Catalyst application is only a part. I want
a master configuration file for the project which has configuration of
things independent of Catalyst (e.g. the database connection and
related info) and of course this configuration file lives outside of
the Catalyst application directory. Catalyst will have its
configuration file in the application directory e.g. my_app.conf and
this file with have only configuration related to Catalyst and I
Catalyst to be able to draw from the master project configuration file
outside to get for example onfiguration for connecting to the database
because this shouldn't be in my_app.conf.

Configuration shouldn't be anywhere twice and project code outside the
Catalyst sub-project shouldn't have any knowledge of Catalyst at all
and shouldn't go get configuration inside Catalyst, it should be the
other way around (the only explanations I've seen take the former
approach). Is there a way to do this?

best,
Leandro
