🔍 Code Extractor

A test function that validates configuration settings by calling settings.validate_config() and prints the result with success/failure indicators.

Purpose

This function serves as a configuration validation test utility, typically used during application startup, testing, or debugging to ensure that all required configuration settings are properly loaded and valid. It provides immediate feedback through console output and returns a boolean indicating validation success.

Source Code

def test_configuration():
    """Test configuration settings."""
    print("Testing configuration...")
    
    try:
        settings.validate_config()
        print("✓ Configuration is valid")
        return True
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"✗ Configuration error: {e}")
        return False

Return Value

Returns a boolean value: True if the configuration validation succeeds (settings.validate_config() completes without exceptions), False if any exception occurs during validation. The return type is bool, though not explicitly annotated in the function signature.

Dependencies

• config
• utils.logger

Required Imports

from config import settings

Usage Example

from config import settings

def test_configuration():
    """Test configuration settings."""
    print("Testing configuration...")
    
    try:
        settings.validate_config()
        print("✓ Configuration is valid")
        return True
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"✗ Configuration error: {e}")
        return False

# Usage
if __name__ == "__main__":
    config_valid = test_configuration()
    if not config_valid:
        print("Please fix configuration errors before proceeding")
        exit(1)

Best Practices

• This function should be called early in the application lifecycle, preferably during startup or initialization
• The function prints directly to stdout; consider using a logger for production environments
• The broad exception catch (Exception) is appropriate for testing but may hide specific configuration issues
• Consider calling this function as part of a larger test suite or health check routine
• The return value should be checked by the caller to determine whether to proceed with application execution
• For production use, consider adding more detailed error reporting or logging instead of just printing
