Hi Mark, Yes, that would be correct. If the function returns the delimiter and uses the same while mapping key value, it would keep the config content intact. If colon can be replaced by equal and vice versa in openstack configs, especially api-paste.ini. I can continue with the merge now and update the merge_configs module when a fix is available.

Hi Sharath,
I had not realised this. Wikipedia suggests colons are sometimes used instead of equals. Perhaps the function should return which delimiter was found, and use it to generate the merged file?

Hi,
In kolla-ansible, I am using the merge_configs module to merge service configs files. I want to merge api-paste.ini config with my custom changes, however while merging if a line consists of one colon, it is getting replaced with equal sign. merge_configs splits the line by considering colon as delimiter and treats two parts as key and value. Later which will be substituted as key = value.
Original */v2.1: oscomputeversion_v2* Merged */v2.1= oscomputeversion_v2 *
Below, colon will be 1 and equal will be -1,
*def _split_key_value(self, line): colon = line.find(':') equal = line.find('=') if colon < 0 and equal < 0: return self.error_invalid_assignment(line) if colon < 0 or (equal >= 0 and equal < colon): key, value = line[:equal], line[equal + 1:] else: key, value = line[:colon], line[colon + 1:] value = value.strip() if value and value[0] == value[-1] and value.startswith(("\"", "'")): value = value[1:-1] return key.strip(), [value]*
I want to keep the config as it is and merge only my custom changes. Please let me know how to achieve this or colon can be escaped somehow.
