Several configuration file

[quentinalbertone]

Hi everyone,

I'm working in a mono-repo environnement which contains several services, I would like to configure mockery through several .mockery.yaml. This will help me to prevent a huge file which will mix dozens of interface (and all the issues like merge conflict , etc).

. root
|-> ServiceA
|   |- .mockery.yaml
|   |- ohter files and package (without .mockery.yaml)
|-> ServiceB
|   |- .mockery.yaml
|   |- ohter files and package (wihtout .mockery.yaml)
| -> ...

The goal is tomockery only once at the root of the repo but if it's possible with one call to mockery for each services, I will be happy too.

Thanks

Hi, this has been proposed by someone else, I think there's a decent need for it. The configuration parsing for packages is pretty nasty. It's not my proudest code, but it works.

I think all that should be needed here is to add code to the Config object that "imports" a parent file. There are a lot of considerations we need to flesh out:

1. What will the syntax look like?
2. How do we handle cyclical imports?
3. Do we allow cyclical imports or should it be a hard error?
4. How should the current implementation of Config be added or altered to allow importing?

I think you'll find this task won't be as easy as you might think. I'm open to discussing it further though.

Hi @LandonTClipp , thanks for your answer.
Yes indeed, its not an easy task. Do you already create a issue that I can follow (maybe participate) ?
