🔍 Code Extractor

A test function that validates configuration loading by instantiating a Config object and verifying access to key configuration parameters across FileCloud, LLM, and output settings.

Purpose

This function serves as a diagnostic tool to verify that the application's configuration system is working correctly. It tests the Config class initialization, validates that configuration values can be accessed, and prints key configuration parameters for verification. It's primarily used during development, testing, or troubleshooting to ensure the configuration file is properly formatted and all required settings are present.

Source Code

def test_config_loading():
    """Test configuration loading."""
    print("Testing configuration loading...")
    
    try:
        config_manager = Config()
        config = config_manager.config  # Access the config dict directly
        
        print(f"✓ Configuration loaded successfully")
        print(f"  - FileCloud server: {config['filecloud']['server_url']}")
        print(f"  - LLM model: {config['llm']['model']}")
        print(f"  - Output format: {config['output']['format']}")
        return config
        
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"✗ Configuration loading failed: {e}")
        return None

Return Value

Returns a dictionary containing the loaded configuration if successful, with nested keys for 'filecloud' (containing 'server_url'), 'llm' (containing 'model'), and 'output' (containing 'format'). Returns None if configuration loading fails due to any exception.

Dependencies

• config.config
• pathlib
• logging

Required Imports

from config.config import Config

Usage Example

# Ensure configuration file exists before running
# Example: config.yaml with required settings

from config.config import Config

def test_config_loading():
    """Test configuration loading."""
    print("Testing configuration loading...")
    
    try:
        config_manager = Config()
        config = config_manager.config
        
        print(f"✓ Configuration loaded successfully")
        print(f"  - FileCloud server: {config['filecloud']['server_url']}")
        print(f"  - LLM model: {config['llm']['model']}")
        print(f"  - Output format: {config['output']['format']}")
        return config
        
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"✗ Configuration loading failed: {e}")
        return None

# Run the test
config = test_config_loading()
if config:
    print("Configuration test passed")
else:
    print("Configuration test failed")

Best Practices

• This function should be run during application setup or as part of a test suite to verify configuration integrity
• Ensure the Config class is properly implemented and can locate the configuration file before calling this function
• The function prints to stdout, so it's best used in testing/debugging contexts rather than production code
• Check the return value to determine if configuration loading succeeded before proceeding with application initialization
• The function catches all exceptions broadly, which is appropriate for testing but may hide specific configuration errors
• Consider extending this function to validate specific configuration value types and ranges for more robust testing
