Rodrigo Chiossi cdccc8152c Fix SafeWriteConfig
If the config file does not exist and the force flag is not set,
OpenFile would not use O_CREATE flag, causing viper to fail with
error "File not exist" and to not create the config file.
This patch changes the behavior of writeConfig() so that if force is set
to false, OpenFile will use O_EXCL flag, thus failing if the file
already exists or creating a new file otherwise.

bpizzi e02bc9eca5 Fixed missing f.Close() in writeConfig()
Defering can cause trouble because we're writing to the file outside the function
where the defering is registered, calling f.Sync() ensures that bytes are flushed
to disk even is Close() is called too soon.

* Added a new `DecoderConfigOption` type allowing the user to write custom
  functions that can override the default mapstructure.DecoderConfig
  settings

* Added a new `DecodeHook` function which returns
  a `DecoderConfigOption`. This allows the user to easily set their own
  Decode hooks when Unmarshaling

* Updated Unmarshal, UnmarshalKey and defaultDecoderConfig to support variadic
  trailing `DecoderConfigOption` functions to allow for customisation of
  the default  mapstructure.DecoderConfig

* Added a test case with example usage

Xavier Coulon e0f7631cf3 WatchConfig and Kubernetes (#284)
Support override of symlink to config file
Include tests for WatchConfig of regular files, as well
as config file which links to a folder which is itself a
link to another folder in the same "watch dir" (the way
Kubernetes exposes config files from ConfigMaps mounted
on a volume in a Pod)

Also:
- Add synchronization with WaitGroup to ensure that the WatchConfig
is properly started before returning
- Remove the watcher when the Config file is removed.

Adam Sherwood 1a0c4a370c Feature/write config (#287)
* Added method to write into TOML file.

* Added functionality to export configuration based on config type. The feature supports JSON and TOML.

* Added method to write into YAML file.

* Fixed the issue of incorrect defer and error checking order. The error checking must be first otherwise it will cause panic.

* Add WriteConfig methods

* Add support for toml

* Add shared write function and safe methods

* Fix incorrectly modified imports

* Remove extra comments

* Fix spelling

* Make marshal spelling consistent throughout

* Add support for remaining configuration types

This commit moves a significant portion of the code back to viper.go to
facilitate having access to the object when reading the files. The purpose is to
add properties to the viper object at read time, so that we can add the comments
back to the file when writing.

* Add tests for each written file type

* Modify test for updated HCL specification

* Modify to only support HCL write in Go 1.7

* Revert "Modify to only support HCL write in Go 1.7"

Benoît Masson 50515b700e Increase performance of nested keys search
* Fixed: insensitiviseMaps and tests

All keys (even nested ones) are now lower-cased recursively.

On the way, map[interface{}]interface{} are cast to map[string]interface{}

* Changed: simplified find() fast path and increase performance

Removed searchMapForKey(), fast path directly integrated into searchMap() and
searchMapWithPathPrefixes()
=> more generic (searchMapForKey() wasn't called everywhere it should have)

At the same time, significantly speed up searchMap() and searchMapWithPathPrefixes(),
which are still used for nested keys: the assumption that map keys are all
lower-cased allows to perform
    val = m[key]
instead of
    for k, v := range m {
      if strings.ToLower(k) == strings.ToLower(key) {
        val = v
      }
    }
=> i.e., directly access the map instead of enumerate the keys

```
which caches file path resolvemenet in `v.configFile`

and then
```
viper.SetConfigName("prod")
err := viper.MergeInConfig()
```

which reuses `v.configFile` without updating it accordingly to the new name.

        pop: 37890
        world:
        - us
        - uk
        - fr
        - de

Now imagine we want to read the following, new configuration data:

    hello:
        pop: 45000
        universe:
        - mw
        - ad
    fu: bar

Using the standard `ReadConfig` function the value returned by the
nested key `hello.world` would no longer be present after the second
configuration is read. This is because the `ReadConfig` function and
its relatives replace nested structures entirely.

The new `MergeConfig` function would produce the following config
after the second YAML snippet was merged with the first:

    hello:
        pop: 45000
        world:
        - us
        - uk
        - fr
        - de
        universe:
        - mw
        - ad
    fu: bar

Examples showing how this works can be found in the two unit tests
named `TestMergeConfig` and `TestMergeConfigNoMerge`.

David Calavera 66249a6550 Add FlagValue interface to support other flag systems.
Using an interface allows people to use their favourite flag system
with viper without being restricted to the semantics of pflag or the
standard library.

This change introduce two new functions `BindFlagValues` and
`BindFlagValue` that behave like `BindFlags` and `BindFlag` but using
the new interface as values.

This change also introduces two internal structures to transform
`*pflag.FlagSet` and `*pflag.Flag` into the new interface. This way,
viper keeps working as expected for people that are currently using the
pflag package without breaking backwards compatibility.

akutz e3bc06f20c Refactored IsSet to examine keys
This patch refactors the IsSet function to examine the keys in order
to see if a key is set instead of simply checking if a value is nil.
This change is necessary due to the fact that default values via
flag bindings will result in the old logic always being true for
the IsSet function due to a type's default value such as 0 for an
integer or an empty string for a string. While a type's default
value may be preferable when getting the value for a key, it
results in a false positive when determining if a key is actually
set. This change enables users to detect whether a key is set by
only returning a flag's value if it has changed.

This patch alters the way flags are handled to coincide with the

changes flag bindings to behave as late bindings.

akutz 0a4a93b685 [110] Default Values Specify Type
This patch adds a feature, if enabled, will infer a value's type from
its default value no matter from where else the value is set. This is
particularly important when working with environment variables. For
example:

    package main

    import (
      "fmt"
      "os"

      "github.com/spf13/viper"
    )

    func print(name string, val interface{}) {
      fmt.Printf("%-15[1]s%-15[2]T%[2]v\n", name, val)
    }

    func main() {
      viper.BindEnv("mykey", "MYPREFIX_MYKEY")
      viper.SetDefault("mykey", []string{})
      os.Setenv("MYPREFIX_MYKEY", "a b c")

      v1 := viper.GetStringSlice("mykey")
      v2 := viper.Get("mykey")

      print("v1", v1)
      print("v2", v2)
    }

When this program is executed the following is emitted:

    [0]akutz@pax:ex$ ./ex1
    v1             []string       [a b c]
    v2             string         a b c
    [0]akutz@pax:ex$

You may wonder, why is this important? Just use the GetStringSlice
function. Well, it *becomes* important when dealing with marshaling.
If we update the above program to this:

    package main

    import (
      "fmt"
      "os"

      "github.com/spf13/viper"
    )

    type Data struct {
      MyKey []string
    }

    func print(name string, val interface{}) {
      fmt.Printf("%-15[1]s%-15[2]T%[2]v\n", name, val)
    }

    func main() {
      viper.BindEnv("mykey", "MYPREFIX_MYKEY")
      viper.SetDefault("mykey", []string{})
      os.Setenv("MYPREFIX_MYKEY", "a b c")

      v1 := viper.GetStringSlice("mykey")
      v2 := viper.Get("mykey")

      print("v1", v1)
      print("v2", v2)

      d := &Data{}
      viper.Marshal(d)
      print("d.MyKey", d.MyKey)
    }

Now we can see the issue when we execute the updated program:

    [0]akutz@pax:ex$ ./ex2
    v1             []string       [a b c]
    v2             string         a b c
    d.MyKey        []string       []
    [0]akutz@pax:ex$

The marshalled data structure's field MyKey is empty when in fact it
should have a string slice equal to, in value, []string {"a", "b",
"c"}.

The problem is that viper's Marshal function calls AllSettings which
ultimately uses the Get function. The Get function does try to infer
the value's type, but it does so using the type of the value retrieved
using this logic:

    Get has the behavior of returning the value associated with the
    first place from where it is set. Viper will check in the
    following order:

      * override
      * flag
      * env
      * config file
      * key/value store
      * default

While the above order is the one we want when retrieving the values,
this patch enables users to decide if it's the order they want to be
used when inferring a value's type. To that end the function
SetTypeByDefaultValue is introduced. When SetTypeByDefaultValue(true)
is called, a call to the Get function will now first check a key's
default value, if set, when inferring a value's type. This is
demonstrated using a modified version of the same program above:

    package main

    import (
      "fmt"
      "os"

      "github.com/spf13/viper"
    )

    type Data struct {
      MyKey []string
    }

    func print(name string, val interface{}) {
      fmt.Printf("%-15[1]s%-15[2]T%[2]v\n", name, val)
    }

    func main() {
      viper.BindEnv("mykey", "MYPREFIX_MYKEY")
      viper.SetDefault("mykey", []string{})
      os.Setenv("MYPREFIX_MYKEY", "a b c")

      v1 := viper.GetStringSlice("mykey")
      v2 := viper.Get("mykey")

      print("v1", v1)
      print("v2", v2)

      d1 := &Data{}
      viper.Marshal(d1)
      print("d1.MyKey", d1.MyKey)

      viper.SetTypeByDefaultValue(true)

      d2 := &Data{}
      viper.Marshal(d2)
      print("d2.MyKey", d2.MyKey)
    }

Now the following is emitted:

    [0]akutz@pax:ex$ ./ex3
    v1             []string       [a b c]
    v2             string         a b c
    d1.MyKey       []string       []
    d2.MyKey       []string       [a b c]
