ORS_CONFIG_LOCATION doesn't work with *.yaml files

[DavidPerezIngeniero]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Problem description

I set ORS_CONFIG_LOCATION environment value to the value /home/ors/config/config.yml.
Even with the DEBUG log level, it isn't used.
It is silently ignored.
After debugging, I've checked that it is due to not having the json or yml extension.
.yaml is a very widespread extension for YAML files. In fact, I never use .yml.

Proposed solution

Accept also *.yaml or document it isn't allowed.

Additional context

Version 8.1.0
Using Docker image.
By examining docker-entrypoint.sh I 've understood whtat happens.

Thanks for reporting. We'll have a look into it.

Related to #1771

Just for clarification of the issue:

(1) If ORS_CONFIG_LOCATION is set to config.yml I would expect ORS to look for a file named config.yml.
(2) If ORS_CONFIG_LOCATION is set to config.yaml I would expect ORS to look for a file named config.yaml.
(3) If ORS_CONFIG_LOCATION is set to config.yml and the file is called config.yaml I would expect ORS to stop with the error message Log file 'config.yml' not found..

Can you confirm that (2) does not work. If yes, could you please post the log output?

(2) If ORS_CONFIG_LOCATION is set to config.yaml I would expect ORS to look for a file named config.yaml.

It does work, logging:

Configuration lookup started.
Configuration file set by environment variable.
Loaded file 'ors-config.yaml'.

However with:

(3) If ORS_CONFIG_LOCATION is set to config.yml and the file is called config.yaml I would expect ORS to stop with the error message Log file 'config.yml' not found..

there is no direct hint this problem is coming from ORS_CONFIG_LOCATION being set wrongly, only:

Configuration lookup started.
Configuration file set by environment variable.

and then the error: No profiles configured. Exiting.

#1960 addresses the logging part. We should still investigate the issue itself.
