module Beaker::Options::OptionsFileParser

def self.parse_options_file(options_file_path)

Other tags:
    Note: - Since the options_file is Eval'ed, any other Ruby commands will also be executed, this can be used

Raises:
  • (ArgumentError) - Raises if options_file_path is not a path to a file

Returns:
  • (OptionsHash) - The contents of the options file as an OptionsHash

Parameters:
  • options_file_path (String) -- The path to the options file 
def self.parse_options_file(options_file_path)
  result = Beaker::Options::OptionsHash.new
  if options_file_path
    options_file_path = File.expand_path(options_file_path)
    unless File.exists?(options_file_path)
      raise ArgumentError, "Specified options file '#{options_file_path}' does not exist!"
    end
    # This eval will allow the specified options file to have access to our
    #  scope.  It is important that the variable 'options_file_path' is
    #  accessible, because some existing options files (e.g. puppetdb) rely on
    #  that variable to determine their own location (for use in 'require's, etc.)
    result = result.merge(eval(File.read(options_file_path)))
  end
  result
