[Mojolicious] setting configuration from the command line

[Cam]

I have a Mojo server-side app and would like to automate an integration
test with the corresponding client (which is not in Perl). The data
source for the app is specificied on the 'my_app.conf' file and uses the
regular config plugin. Is there a standard way of overriding
configuration settings (or specifying and alternate config file) from
the command line so that I can programmatically open a local server
populated with test data and isolated from other prod/testing data?

Hi,
Have you tried setting the `MOJO_CONFIG` environment variable to the name
of an alternative config file? Other useful environment variables for
Mojolicious are listed on the wiki -

Regards,
Jason.

I'll try that. Thank you!

I would use mode specific config files, like "my_app.testing.conf" and
start the
app with "./my_app.pl daemon --mode testing".

That's an even better suggestion. I'll try it out. Thanks, Sri.
