Config Settings

ckan.selfinfo.ckan_repos_path - Path to the src folder where CKAN and CKAN Extensions stored at the environment. While provided, additional GIT Infromation will be granted. Make sure that there no other folders and files that are not related to CKAN are stored there. Example: /usr/lib/ckan/default/src

ckan.selfinfo.ckan_repos - List of CKAN Extension folders separated by space (ckanext-scheming ckanext-spatial ckanext-xloader). By default, if ckan.selfinfo.ckan_repos_path is provided, it will look into the directory and gather the extensions from there. Make sure to read the Note under this options before adding it, as it may cause 500 error, if not configured right.

NOTE!

For Linux, keep in mind that the added folder in ckan.selfinfo.ckan_repos_path should have the same owner as the one that runs the application (e.g. if the application runs from ckan User in the system, then ckanext-scheming folder owner should be ckan), otherwise there will be an error related to ownership of the repository.

ckan.selfinfo.partitions - Used for representing disk space. The value is comma separated paths. By default the value is /, which is usually the root.

Example: /path/to/partition /path/to/partition2 /path/to/partition3

pytest --ckan-ini=test.ini
