Configuration in umbrella project

[Tomáš Brukner]

I have an umbrella project, where applications need paths to certain files outside of the project. For that I use in-umbrella application - Paths - which provides these paths among with some path joining for convenience. Other applications have in-umbrella dependency on this application. It itself uses Application.get_env(:paths, ...) to get the raw configuration. 

However, I have trouble with configuration. If I run the application from the parent directory, everything works fine; but if I want to work on a single application and I run it or test it from it's directory, the configuration is not loaded, even though the Paths application is available (because it is a dependency). When I have configuration hard-coded in Paths' mix.exs file, the problem is gone.

I am aware that is mentioned in the generated config.exs file, but is there a solution to this problem? That is, how to have in-umbrella dependencies get it's configuration?

The configuration is per application, they will never be shared unless explicitly told do so. So if you really want to share configuration, you can do import_config "../../umbrella_sibling/config/config.exs" or some something similar. Just make sure the path is correct.

Thank you José for your answer.

Is this the correct way to solve the problem, or am I missing something?
