Handle Missing pprof Config File for Development Mode

[campeon23]

Issue:

• When building the application, it fails if the pprof configuration file is not present. We need to modify the system to conditionally load this config file, especially when the application is running in development mode.

Steps to Reproduce:

• Remove or rename the pprof config file.
• Attempt to build the application.
• Expected Behavior:
• The application should be able to build successfully even if the pprof config file is missing, as long as it's in development mode.

Actual Behavior:

• Build fails when the pprof config file is missing.

Suggested Fix:

• Modify the rootCmd = &cobra.Command{} variable in the main.go package to include a conditional check. If the pprof config file exists and the environment variable ENV_MODE is set to "development", then load the configuration. Otherwise, handle gracefully (e.g., with a default configuration or an informative log message).

Affected packages:

• main.go

Affected Functions/Variables:

Init() var rootCmd = &cobra.Command{}

Steps to Implement Fix:

• In main.go, within the Init() function, check for the existence of the pprof config file.
• Check the ENV_MODE environment variable. If set to "development", proceed with loading the config.
• If the file doesn't exist and the environment is "development", log an informative message indicating the usage of default settings or lack of pprof profiling.
• Test the application build process in both development and non-development modes to ensure it behaves as expected.

Issue Resolved!

Implemented the suggested fix as outlined:

Modified the rootCmd = &cobra.Command{} variable in the main.go package. Introduced a conditional check in the Init() function. This checks the presence of the pprof config file and the state of the ENV_MODE environment variable. When ENV_MODE is set to "development" and the pprof config file exists, the configuration is loaded. If the configuration file is absent in "development" mode, an informative log message is now displayed, advising the use of default settings or noting the absence of pprof profiling. Thorough tests were conducted post-fix:

Tested the build process in both "development" and other modes. The system behaves as expected, handling the pprof configuration appropriately. Given the successful implementation and testing, I'm marking this ticket as closed. Should there be any further issues related to this, please feel free to reopen.
