We want a way to raise errors when there are duplicate keys in the config. This is becoming a bigger problem for us as our yaml files get bigger and bigger, or spread out across hundreds of files. An alternative to this would be to use a yaml / json lint program prior to using them in
ConfigHound
.Some challenges here so far are that
SafeYaml
doesn't easily support a customobject_class
atload
time, as far as I can tell. I think we'd need to monkey patch something down in thePsych
code, or look into other yaml parsers.The toml parser we're using at the moment already hard fails on duplicate keys, so I feel implementing this feature for that might be quite troublesome, as we are setting the default to allow duplicates for backwards compatibility, and this would raise the question around breaking that for toml, if it was even possible to implement.
