config file not found #390

gaoshengL · 2017-09-22T10:10:59Z

hello,i code the example:
viper.SetConfigType("yaml")
//viper.SetConfigFile("/etc/config.yaml")
viper.SetConfigName("config.yaml")
viper.AddConfigPath("/etc")
err := viper.ReadInConfig()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
or
viper.SetConfigType("yaml")
viper.SetConfigFile("config.yaml")
//viper.SetConfigName("config.yaml")
viper.AddConfigPath("/etc")
err := viper.ReadInConfig()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
i'm sure that i have config.yaml in /etc dirctionary,but the outputs of these code are:
Config File "config.yaml" Not Found in "[/etc]"
open config.yaml: no such file or directory
what's wrong?

ryanthedev · 2017-09-24T02:11:54Z

I'm not sure but maybe try

viper.SetConfigType("yaml")
viper.SetConfigName("config")
viper.AddConfigPath("/etc")
err := viper.ReadInConfig()
if err != nil {
  fmt.Println(err)
}

or try

viper.SetConfigFile("config.yaml")
viper.AddConfigPath("/etc")
err := viper.ReadInConfig()
if err != nil {
   fmt.Println(err)
}

nad2000 · 2017-10-11T04:29:06Z

I confirm the issue with "not found" configuration. The proposed solution doesn't solve it.

nad2000 · 2017-10-11T04:53:41Z

It looks that config name should be without any extension (viper.SetConfigName(...)) while the actual file should have any supported extension. Take a look into

viper/viper.go

Line 1536 in d9cca5e

func (v *Viper) searchInPath(in string) (filename string) {

mfridman · 2017-10-13T14:12:11Z

@nad2000 is correct. searchInPath concatenates search path, file name and extension. Which appears to be the intended behaviour. filepath.Join(in, v.configName+"."+ext)

So viper will search, your filepaths + filename + extension:

/Users/example/go/src/github.com/your-app/config.json
/Users/example/go/src/github.com/your-app/config.toml
/Users/example/go/src/github.com/your-app/config.yaml
/Users/example/go/src/github.com/your-app/config.yml
/Users/example/go/src/github.com/your-app/config.properties
/Users/example/go/src/github.com/your-app/config.props
/Users/example/go/src/github.com/your-app/config.prop
/Users/example/go/src/github.com/your-app/config.hcl

Instead, what you could do is specify the file type yourself via:
viper.SetConfigType("yaml")

and pass in the absolute path to your config file via:
viper.SetConfigFile("/etc/configs/config")

or if the config file will always be in the same directory as main application:
viper.SetConfigFile("config")

rayascott-zz · 2017-10-18T16:34:30Z

How much time did I waste on this!? It should be documented clearly that specifying what data serialization format your config file uses, will modify the name that is searched for by appending an extension to the file name.

ufoscout · 2018-01-30T14:45:02Z

Message removed... I messed up with the folder names... 😥

mfridman · 2018-01-30T15:04:20Z

Instead of using AddConfigPath try the following:

// set the config file type
viper.SetConfigType("yaml")

// specify where the config file is
viper.SetConfigFile("./config/config") // or viper.SetConfigFile("config/config"), doesn't matter

// read in config file and check your errors
if err := viper.ReadInConfig(); err != nil {
  // handle errors
}

// confirm where the file has been read in from
fmt.Println(viper.ConfigFileUsed())

Vikash082 · 2018-01-31T15:19:13Z

This looks real issue as it always require complete path with file name for search. AddConfigPath() doesn't work in the case where config file is in other directory. @mfridman @nad2000

zsrinivas · 2018-05-21T11:55:22Z

for me SetConfigName and AddConfigPath without SetConfigFile works

my conf file is at /secrets/app.yaml

	Config.SetConfigType("yaml")
	Config.AddConfigPath("/secrets/")
	Config.SetConfigName("app")
	err := Config.ReadInConfig()

this is because if you set ConfigFile it takes the file as the absolute path instead of searching for that file in the list of config paths

viper/viper.go

Lines 1521 to 1534 in d9cca5e

    
           func (v *Viper) getConfigFile() (string, error) { 
        
           	// if explicitly set, then use it 
        
           	if v.configFile != "" { 
        
           		return v.configFile, nil 
        
           	} 
        
           	cf, err := v.findConfigFile() 
        
           	if err != nil { 
        
           		return "", err 
        
           	} 
        
           	v.configFile = cf 
        
           	return v.getConfigFile() 
        
           }

daixiang0 · 2019-01-03T07:42:35Z

any update now?

Double1996 · 2019-07-14T06:37:16Z

Instead of using AddConfigPath try the following:

// set the config file type
viper.SetConfigType("yaml")

// specify where the config file is
viper.SetConfigFile("./config/config") // or viper.SetConfigFile("config/config"), doesn't matter

// read in config file and check your errors
if err := viper.ReadInConfig(); err != nil {
  // handle errors
}

// confirm where the file has been read in from
fmt.Println(viper.ConfigFileUsed())

Thanks!! I solve my issue with this reply

Neither Get nor SetConfigFile is working for me. I keep getting 'no such file'

Use this instead....

viper.SetConfigType("yaml")
viper.SetConfigName("configName")
viper.AddConfigPath("/path/to/config/file")
err := viper.ReadInConfig()
if err != nil {
// Handle Error
...
}

aiyogg · 2019-09-10T17:48:25Z

It's looks like viper.AddConfigPath(".") dosn't work correct now, must be specified a absolut path...

ninetynineteen · 2019-10-14T03:46:32Z

But it doesn't work

ninetynineteen · 2019-10-14T03:52:43Z

The same problem happen to me. I use following method solve it.

viper.SetConfigType("yaml")
viper.SetConfigFile("/path/to/config/file/configName")
err := viper.ReadInConfig()
if err != nil {
// Handle Error
...
}

steveperjesi · 2019-11-01T16:23:10Z

You can add multiple viper.AddConfigPath()lines based on commented code, https://github.com/spf13/viper/blob/master/viper.go#L411

viper.AddConfigPath("./")
viper.AddConfigPath("../")

pedromss · 2020-01-10T11:32:43Z

@sagikazarmark this should be reopened as I mistakenly marked #722 as solving #390 . Thanks to @andig (#722 (comment)) for bringing this to attention.

sagikazarmark · 2020-01-10T11:39:09Z

Unfortunately, I can't really tell anymore what this issue is about, but I get the feeling it's rather a documentation problem than an actual bug in the code.

pedromss · 2020-01-10T11:44:36Z

Re-reading this thread it seems the problem might be in the AddConfigPath as this comment #390 (comment) seems to suggest

KhoaND290391 · 2020-02-06T05:23:47Z

Assume your configs file in /home/ubuntu/go/bin/myapp/configs/conf.env
Your code should provide :
if run from /home/ubuntu/go/bin/myapp/configs/ then set viper.AddConfigPath(".")
if run from /home/ubuntu/go/bin/myapp/ then set viper.AddConfigPath("./configs")
if run from /home/ubuntu/go/bin/ then set viper.AddConfigPath("./myapp/configs")
if run from root of Ubuntu machine (such as make it as a service)
then set viper.AddConfigPath("/home/ubuntu/go/bin/myapp/configs/")

neverovski · 2020-04-21T14:18:51Z

It doesn't work for production version

neverovski · 2020-05-03T18:18:07Z

Works for me in production:

_, filePath, _, _ := runtime.Caller(0)
configFile := filePath[:len(filePath)-9]
viper.SetConfigFile(configFile + string(filepath.Separator) + ".env")
err := viper.ReadInConfig()

hoppfrosch · 2020-05-15T06:04:24Z

Just had following problem:(using an existing configfile "myConfig.json")

v := viper.New()
v.SetConfigName("myConfig.json")
v.SetConfigType("json")
v.AddConfigPath(".")

err := v.ReadInConfig()
if err != nil {
	log.Panicf("Fatal error config file: %s", err)
}

Without "SetConfigType" the error is thrown ...

v := viper.New()
v.SetConfigName("myConfig.json")
// v.SetConfigType("json")   => Omitting setting config type, leads to error condition, unless config name contains extension
v.AddConfigPath(".")

err := v.ReadInConfig()
if err != nil {
	log.Panicf("Fatal error config file: %s", err)
}

Running: go version go1.14.2 windows/amd64

jckling · 2020-10-29T13:35:44Z

Worked in Win10 (using GoLand)!! 😃

// Set the file name of the configurations file
viper.SetConfigName("config")

// Set the configuration file type
viper.SetConfigType("yaml")

// Set the path to look for the configurations file
viper.AddConfigPath("./config")

// Find and read the config file
err := viper.ReadInConfig()
if err != nil {
	fmt.Printf("Error reading config file, %s", err)
	return err
}

BTW viper.SetConfigName("config.yml") did not work.

theycallmeloki · 2020-12-23T12:34:42Z

Can confirm viper.SetConfigFile does not work, the way to fix it was to add the directory the configuration would be present in using AddConfigPath

need to set up in this way, see: spf13/viper#390 (comment) also, only works for the layout for now, need to get other pages working with this config as well. when it's local, this also enables static file server.

* example secret usage * there is no need fot the go dependencies section * temp: ls and tree * install aws sdk * temp: fail the build on purpose * make the upload assets job depend on build * switch to Go 1.15.6 * Revert "temp: fail the build on purpose" This reverts commit bf12a3b. * ls s3 bucket * dryrun aws s3 sync * seperate it into multiline correctly see https://stackoverflow.com/a/62044610/463785 * multi-line didn't seem to work see https://github.com/tugberkugurlu/go-bloggy/pull/5/checks?check_run_id=1597645520 * remove dryrun * set up yaml config for assets need to set up in this way, see: spf13/viper#390 (comment) also, only works for the layout for now, need to get other pages working with this config as well. when it's local, this also enables static file server. * push page data to the pages with a container so that I can push the config to the pages * use AssetsUrl in appropirate places * use lowercase file path for css * set correct mime types see aws/aws-cli#1249 (comment) it seems like following ones are set to `application/octet-stream` - icons.woff2 - brand-icons.woff2 - brand-icons.woff - icons.woff * cat /etc/mime.types * Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS doesn't seem to use ~/.mime.types see aws/aws-cli#1249 (comment) * use sudo correctly with pipe see https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/106666 * lowercase the image urls * support for ci config folder * set ci/config.yaml * Upload CI config.yml for Assets * docker build see https://github.com/marketplace/actions/build-and-push-docker-images also https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/guides/storing-workflow-data-as-artifacts * Download artifact to a specific directory * enable docker push * seperate docker deploy into its own workflow so that we can only run that for master builds.

…ithub: spf13/viper#390 . Worked before though? Very strange

margaaareti · 2022-01-28T20:42:03Z

How we handled this fckn problem? I m trying for 2 day . . .

twobit214 · 2022-02-17T01:40:20Z

This was very frustrating to deal with. For me, I finally figured out that you cannot use SetConfigFile() in conjunction with anything else. It can only be the path to the config file. If you use this method, it will ignore any paths and ONLY use the value passed to SetConfigFile()

In this example, my file is named fileNameNoExtension.yaml on disk.

      configFileName := "fileNameNoExtension"
        mydir = "/a/dir"
	viper.AddConfigPath(mydir)
	viper.SetConfigType("yaml")
	viper.SetConfigName(configFileName)
	//viper.SetConfigFile()

if I uncomment the last line, all previous lines are ignored and the config file fails to resolve.

mkdior · 2022-07-18T03:41:54Z

Can successfully read my configuration after setting the ConfigType as suggested by the first answer.

var (
    _, b, _, _ = runtime.Caller(0)
    root       = filepath.Join(filepath.Dir(b), "../..")
)

func main() {
    viper.AddConfigPath(root)
    viper.SetConfigType("yaml") // This work
    viper.SetConfigName("my-config-file")
    _ = viper.ReadInConfig()
    ...

var (
    _, b, _, _ = runtime.Caller(0)
    root       = filepath.Join(filepath.Dir(b), "../..")
)

func main() {
    viper.AddConfigPath(root)
    viper.SetConfigName("my-config-file.yaml") // This doesn't work
    _ = viper.ReadInConfig()
    ...

gwvandesteeg · 2022-11-16T10:17:18Z

you need to ensure you only use one of the two approaches, either specify the file by the full config file name or let viper figure it out.

viper.SetConfigFile("full-name-of-file-including-path-and-extension-if-any")

OR

viper.AddConfigPath("search-path-1") // repeat as needed to add places to look for the config file
viper.SetConfigType("yaml") // or whatever supported format the file is in, if not specified then it'll try all it supports
viper.SetConfigName("name-of-the-config-file-which-has-an-extension-but-without-the-extension")

So to read in the config file in YAML format placed at /etc/example/configfile.yaml, you would use either of the below.

viper.SetConfigFile("/etc/example/configfile.yaml")

OR

viper.AddConfigPath("/etc/example")
viper.SetConfigType("yaml")
viper.SetConfigName("configfile")

Here's a gist for some examples https://gist.github.com/gwvandesteeg/939c05ac34518d65c49a94b2dbdd7cec

let4be · 2023-01-24T11:24:25Z

Still is broken. Wtf...

yuzhouu · 2023-03-30T03:25:53Z

it seems like doc is wrong

viper.SetConfigType("yaml") // REQUIRED if the config file does not have the extension in the name

For me

this one worked

viper.SetConfigName("config")
viper.SetConfigType("yaml")
viper.AddConfigPath(...)
viper.AddConfigPath(...)

this not

viper.SetConfigName("config.yaml")
viper.AddConfigPath(...)
viper.AddConfigPath(...)

meanii · 2023-08-08T04:51:21Z

I'm having the same issue, i tried all the methods above but none of them worked for me

viper.SetConfigType("yaml")
viper.AddConfigPath("../configs")
viper.SetConfigName("config")
