Configuration

Configuration root

We recommend that you keep all configuration files in the conf directory of a Kedro project. However, if you prefer, point Kedro to any other directory and change the configuration paths by setting the CONF_SOURCE variable in src/<package_name>/settings.py as follows:

# Directory that holds configuration.
CONF_SOURCE = "conf"

caution

• If any two configuration files located inside the same environment path (conf/base/ or conf/local/ in this example) contain the same top-level key, load_config will raise a ValueError indicating that the duplicates are not allowed.

• If two configuration files have duplicate top-level keys but are in different environment paths (one in conf/base/, another in conf/local/, for example) then the last loaded path (conf/local/ in this case) takes precedence and overrides that key value. ConfigLoader.get will not raise any errors - however, a DEBUG level log message will be emitted with information on the overridden keys.
