Loading files in wrong order

[emschwartz]

When loading multiple config files like this:

nconf
.argv()
.env()
.file({ file: 'config1.json' })
.file({ file: 'config2.json' });

argv and env get loaded properly before the config files but then config2 is overriding config1, even though the documentation suggests that it does the opposite

Did you solve this issue?

I have a similar problem, but from what I can see when I util.inspect(nconf) it seems nconf cannot use two file stores like this, and the 2nd simply replaces the first entirely.

Ie, its equivalent to just calling

nconf.argv().env().file({ file: 'config2.json' });

I ended up just taking out the second config file and moving those values
into the defaults

Ok thankyou, I will use that idea

Duplicate of #97 and #110.

Loading multiple files without specifying different names for each will overwrite, not merge.

Solution:

nconf
   .argv()
   .env()
   .file('override', 'config1.json')
   .file('defaults', 'config2.json');
