I'm sure this is well known, but I recently encountered this problem for
the second time.
---
foo:
import oslo.config as cfg
import bar
CONF = cfg.CONF
CONF.register_opts('foo_opt')
---
bar:
import oslo.config as cfg
CONF = cfg.CONF
def bar_func(arg=CONF.foo_opt):
pass
---
importing foo results in an error in bar because CONF.foo_opt doesn't
exist. This is because bar is imported before CONF.register_opts.
CONF.import_opt() fails in the same way because it just imports foo and
hits the exact same problem when foo imports bar.
A (the?) solution is to register_opts() in foo before importing any
modules which might also use oslo.config. This also allows import_opt()
to work in bar, which you should do to remove any dependency on import
order:
---
foo:
import oslo.config as cfg
CONF = cfg.CONF
CONF.register_opts('foo_opt')
import bar
---
bar:
import oslo.config as cfg
CONF = cfg.CONF
CONF.import_opt('foo_opt', 'foo')
def bar_func(arg=CONF.foo_opt):
pass
---
Even if it's old news it's worth a refresher because it was a bit of a
headscratcher.
