mergeConfigWithFile

lsst.ts.wep.utils.mergeConfigWithFile(configFile: Optional[str], **kwargs: Any) dict

Merge the passed keyword arguments with the values stored in the file.

If configFile is not provided, the keyword arguments are returned verbatim.

Parameters:
configFilestr, optional

Path to the config yaml file. Can be an absolute or relative path, but if the path starts with “policy:”, the path will be understood to be relative to the ts_wep policy directory. This file can only contain keys that match keywords in kwargs, but it need not contain all the keywords.

kwargsAny

Keyword arguments with which to replace the values from the file. Note that None values are always ignored in favor of the value in configFile.

Returns:
dict

Config dictionary

Raises:
KeyError

If configFile contains keywords not present in kwargs
