Description

Motivation

This might help us to avoid ini file corruption and this is a useful feature to help us to maintain config updates.

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: The openQA web UI reads config files from openqa.d in alphabetical order.
  • AC2: Values in subsequent files are overriding previously read values.
  • AC3: The regular config file openqa.ini is read first.

Suggestions

  • Consider best practice for config files in etc / .d files etc
  • Document the behavior on where files come from, what takes priority and how duplicates are treated
  • Consider filing a follow-up ticket about supporting a similar feature for workers
  • Announce the new feature in testing/public openQA channel

The change has been deployed so we can now make use of it. I tested this locally and via unit tests so I guess we don't have to keep this ticket open until we see whether it works in production.
