If more then one of augmentation entries ("augmentations",
"instrumenatation", "output_processors") is specified in the same
config they were being merged into a single entry.
This can cause issues with '~~' (drop everything glyph) being "resolved"
during this merge and therefore not actually used to drop all previous
augmentations.
Union'ing, instead of merging, configs at the same level avoids that.
Note that this is semantically correct, as we're not enforcing
precedence at the same level of config, so merge semantics do not apply.
Add support for "~~" special value that indicates that, when merging
into another set, all values from that set should in fact be dropped.
Apart from the unique merge semantics, "~~" just like any other "~"
value.
Delay the split of augmentations into instruments and output processors
until they are actually being accessed; keep them as a single set until
then. This makes tracking of merges from various configurations sources
easier
If WA is ran without any workloads being specified, previously an index
error was thrown, now check that at least one global workload has been
specified and if not, provide a more helpful error message.
Add extra_plugin_paths setting which gets populated from WA_PLUGIN_PATHS
environment variable. This allows specifying additional locations to
scan for WA plugins.
Ensure that boot and runtime parameters always get initialized to an
obj_dict even when not explicitly specified. This will ensure they get
serialized and deserialized properly.
Catch exceptions raised when attempting to set value of a config point,
and re-raise as ConfigError with name associated with the value in the
config file.
- RebootPolicy: correctly handle being passed another instance of
RebootPolicy on creation; this a requirement for it to be usable as a
ConfigurationPoint kind.
- RebootPolicy: move static method to above __init__ (consistency).
- RunConfiguration: handle deserialization of 'device_config' entry.
- RunConfiguration: move static method to above __init__ (consistency).
Add support for loading plugins from packages that register themselves
with WA by writing their names into $WA_USER_DIRECTORY/packages.
This is functionality that existed in WA2 and was omitted in WA3 until
now.
Uses os.eviron as the default environment for creation of a
MetaConfiguration object, this allows an instance to be created without
providing any parameters and fixes re-creating an instance from pod.
--diable can now be used to disable both intruments and
result_processors from the command line (overriding configuration
files). Rename variable names to reflect this.
Replace update_enabled_instruments with update_augmentations, which
correctly splits instruments and results processors from augmentations
configuration values.
While instruments and processors are now handled uniformly in
configuration, they still need to be handled differently during actual
execution. This is the point where they get split again.
Remllace merge_instruments_result_processors with merge_agumentations
which is updated to properly merge the new unified "augmentations"
configurations.
