Multiple configuration files

[alvarotrigo]

It would be nice to be able to define different configuration files.
In my case, I have a website and then an application inside it. It would be ideal to be able to separate both sites, as they don't have any single javascript file in common.

Right now I'm compressing it using:

cd C:\inetpub\wwwroot\cakephp\app
Console\cake AssetCompress.AssetCompress build_ini

It seems to me a nice solution to be able to specify another string instead of build_ini with the name of the configuration file inside app/config.

Does the --config option not work?

[alvarotrigo]

I haven't found any reference to that option in the wiki.

Its in the help for the cli tool.

I'll add it to the wiki as well.

[alvarotrigo]

Right. I see it now. But yeah, it would be nice having it in the wiki as well.

I've seen that if I have two config files and none of them has the default name asset_compress.ini, then an error appears:

Configuration file "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\cakephp\app\Config\asset_compress.ini" was not found.

Does it means I have to create an empty file with the name asset_compress.ini? Or is there a way to configure that as well?

I updated the wiki for the command line flag.

Yes, the plugin assumes and expects you have a config file with the default name. I don't think anyone has earnestly wanted to use multiple config files before.

In that case, does it matter at all which of the config files is as the default one? Will it have any consequences on the page?

Telling the various parts of the plugin which is 'default' is the only challenging thing I think.
