New issue 295: Support loading environments from external files
https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/tox/issues/295/support-loading-environments-from-external
Timothy Allen:
Currently tox allows you to define a bunch of test environments in a single
`tox.ini` file, which is a great way to help multiple contributors to a single
project stay in sync.
However, I have many small projects with differing release schedules, and I
want them all to be consistent with each other. Copy/pasting `tox.ini` changes
from project to project is error-prone and tedious, so I want a way to put
environment configuration in a central location and make each project include
it by reference, possibly overriding some settings.
For example, let's say I always want to be warned about code with a McCabe
complexity over 10. I could make a separate file containing:
[testenv]
commands=
flake8 --max-complexity 10
...then all my projects' `tox.ini` files could say something like:
[tox]
inherit_from=http://somehost/generic-tox-settings.ini
...and when tox saw that setting, it could download the file, parse it, and
then update it with the contents of the local `tox.ini`.
As an alternative to downloading a file every time tox is run, perhaps
`inherit_from` could be an absolute or relative path (relative to the directory
containing tox.ini) so that the extra settings could be distributed via SVN
externals or git submodules.
