update does not update config file

[datacharmer]

The config file cannot be updated. The version check is there to avoid using an old config version with new software.
As a workaround, please move the config file from $HOME/.dbdeployer to another location, and then try applying
the config changes to the new dbdeployer, using dbdeployer defaults update as needed

The config file cannot be updated.

Of course it can. os.Open(), f.Read(), parse, upgrade object, f.Write(), f.Close(). Much like a git merge, you have the user's previous config, and you have the new config with defaults. Merge them. Write it out. config upgraded.

As a workaround,

I must use a "workaround" every time I upgrade dbdeployer?

try applying the config changes to the new dbdeployer

What config changes? I haven't made any changes to the config.

Here's what happened:

1. Download dbdeployer
2. Play with a few commands. Neat tool.
3. Realize you don't have latest version.
4. Upgrade using built-in function
5. Can't use new version without constant warnings about version config

As end-user, I'm expected to manually migrate the config file every time I upgrade?

[datacharmer]

Of course it can.
What I mean is that the way dbdeployer is designed, it privileges user choices (customised configuration) and prevents bad usage by means of nasty messages.

I haven't made any changes to the config.

Then simply delete it. Apparently, you don't need a customised config. But dbdeployer will prevent a mixup by design.
If you don't have a customised config, all updates will work silently.
