Testing gvShell Step 9: Configuration

1. Run Unit Tests

cd /konnectvol/gv/gvshell
go test ./internal/config/... -v

Should pass 13 tests for config package.

2. Test Default Configuration

cd /konnectvol/gv/gvshell
go build -o gvshell ./cmd/gvshell
./gvshell

Without any config file, gvShell should use these defaults:

SettingDefault Value
Default Providerclaude
Modelsonnet
History Size1000
Streamingtrue

3. Test User Config File

Create a user config to override defaults:

mkdir -p ~/.gvshell
cat > ~/.gvshell/config.yaml << 'EOF'
general:
  default_provider: claude
  history_size: 500
  streaming: true

providers:
  claude:
    enabled: true
    model: opus
    max_tokens: 8192
EOF

Now restart gvShell - it should use opus model with 500 history.

4. Test Project Config Override

Create a project-level config (overrides user config):

cat > .gvshell.yaml << 'EOF'
general:
  history_size: 200

providers:
  claude:
    model: haiku
EOF

Now haiku model and 200 history should be used in this directory.

5. Test Environment Overrides

Environment variables have highest priority:

# Override model via env
GVSHELL_CLAUDE_MODEL=sonnet ./gvshell

# Set API key via env (standard way)
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key-here
./gvshell

# Override data directory
GVSHELL_DATA_DIR=/tmp/gvtest ./gvshell

6. Config Precedence (Low → High)
