Hi, are there any examples of testing out the config functionality from unit tests? I tried the below but config.environment yields a BoxKeyError ("Config object has no attribute environment")

def test_configuration_works_as_expected(monkeypatch, tmp_path):
    config_file = tmp_path / "config.toml"
    config_text = """
environment = "prod"
user = "${environments.${environment}.user}"

[environments]

    [environments.dev]
        user = "test"

    [environments.prod]
        user = "admin"
"""
    with config_file.open("w") as cf:
        cf.write(config_text)

    monkeypatch.setenv("PREFECT__USER_CONFIG_PATH", str(tmp_path))
    assert config.environment == "prod"
    assert config.user == "admin"

Hi Dolor - check out Prefect’s own configuration unit tests: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/master/tests/test_configuration.py In short, config is loaded at first-import time, so you’ll need to call

prefect.configuration.load_configuration

explicitly within your tests

ah, yes that makes sense
