[v2] Configure subsections in the shared configuration file#10172
Conversation
This change adds new parameters to the `aws configure set`` command to specify a sub-section for setting a property. These parameters are analogous to the existing `--profile` parameter. A parameter will be added for each sub-section type and take a value of the subsection name. Following is the generic pattern for the `aws configure set` command: ``` aws configure set --<sub-section-type> <sub-section-name> \ <property> <value> ``` For example, the following command should set the property `sso_region` to the value `us-west-2` in the `sso-session` sub-section named `my-sso-session`: ``` aws configure set --sso-session my-sso-session \ sso_region us-west-2 ``` Following is an example setting a nested property in a sub-section: ``` aws configure set \ --<sub-section-type> <sub-section-name> \ <nested-section>.<property> value ``` The only sub-section types allowed are `services` and `sso-session`.
Remove the mapping between the subsection type and the parameter name. This is a transformation between '-' separated and '_' separated, so use a utility method to do this. Rename parameters to improve understanding of the code.
Only one level of nested properties is supported, e.g. 'aaa.bbb'. If the user supplies more than that (.aaa.bbb.ccc') an error is raised.
[v2] Add ability to set properties in subsections
Rename and add more test cases to cover non-exsistent subsections and nested properties.
A missing case, adding it for consistency with test for a non-existent sub-section.
These are better tested with functional tests.
