The various
Defaults()
functions are designed to populate sane defaults before we unmarshal the config, so that any obviously missing but useful fields are populated. We also use this forcmd/generate-config
and for the various P2P demos, which mostly want to run with defaults.The problem is that we can accidentally populate defaults that aren't that sane for regular monolith/polylith installs. For example, the federation refactoring in #2055 would not complain about the missing
database
section from thefederation_api
config section because it was being defaulted.This adds a "generate" flag to the various
Defaults()
functions for specifying if we want a full configuration generating, or whether to omit things that we obviously want to fail if they are missing. We definitely don't want to populate things like database connection strings if they are missing as we would rather panic and signal to the user that there's a problem in the config instead.
