Config not working ( as I would have thought )

[ryanhungate]

It seems as if the config files that live in the environment world are not simply overwriting the production values, it is only loading that environment file itself... which means we have to copy the entire file over to the environment folder rather than just replacing a few things...

Is this what were going to be doing with configs now?

I haven't seen this behavior.

So your saying that if you have a config file called hoojoo.php in production that has all values... but then in /staging/hoojoo.php you only put in a couple things that your still getting all the production values as well? Im not.

[andrewryno]

I believe that is intended behavior. Files are overridden, not specific values within them. CodeIgniter and I assume other frameworks are the same way.

[ryanhungate]

i mean, it would be IMO that it should be like an array_replace_recursive type of config... environments are always just slightly different than production, and to not just overwrite the values that are defined, seems a bit weird to me...

I've not had this problem. I do what you're describing, at least with cascading packages. I would expect environments work the same, or they should.

So, I am with @ryanhungate if there is an issue, not @andrewryno

[taylorotwell]

Yes I am.

I guess I dont know how that is possible, when im on the latest builds here. Maybe it only replaces the node, rather than only replacing specific values IN the node... that seems to be what is happening to me. I use large arrays for configs all the time, and it isnt picking up the production values.

[taylorotwell]

Yeah it's replacing the whole node.

my 2cents... only override values specified... not the whole node.

[taylorotwell]

Will play around with that.
