Specify custom location of config file - option

[andreyantipov]

Hello, is it possible to specify location of config file instad using default ~/.dory.yml?

Not currently, but this is a good idea. The challenge will be that without a default file, you would have to tell Dory where the config file is somehow, so might need to pass a -f <config-file> flag each time. That could easily be aliased so you don't have to type it tho.

Any suggestions on interface? Would -f config-file.yml (plus alias dory='dory -f config-file.yml' in ~/.bashrc)work for you?

Yeah!

What if also implement auto-search config (.dory.yml) initialiser method which recursively will search config in current working directory up to home directory (including it)?

Something like that

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

CONFIG = ".dory.yml"
# HOME PATH must be set otherwise loop search will be infinite if config file is not exist
HOME = ENV["HOME"]

config = catch (:config) do
    loop do
        # Check if config file exist
                # Return string if config exist
        throw(:config, File.absolute_path(CONFIG)) if File.exist?(CONFIG)

        # Move up to HOME
                # Return bool false if config not exist
        HOME === Dir.pwd ? throw(:config, false) : Dir.chdir("..")
                # OR
                # Return empty string if config not exist
                # HOME === Dir.pwd ? throw(:config, "") : Dir.chdir("..")
    end #loop
end #:config

puts config

Sorry for the delay, been super busy and sick. Will work on this weekend tho. I like the idea of recursively searching upward. That's a slick way of handling multiple projects. You can just put the .dory.yml file right in the repo, or at least have an easier time juggling multiple projects.
