chore(simdv2): allow overriding the --home flag

[mark-rushakoff]

There were two calls to viper.Set(serverv2.FlagHome, simapp.DefaultNodeHome); these calls invalidated any provided --home command line arguments. When testing multiple simapp instances in the same process, it is necessary to provide separate home directories.

Changing the calls from .Set to .SetDefault retains the previous behavior of using DefaultNodeHome when no --home flag is provided, but it still respects --home when the flag is indeed provided.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved handling of the default home directory for application configuration to ensure consistent initialization.
  • Enhanced error handling for context validation in command initialization.

• Refactor

  • Updated method for setting the home directory to utilize default values, streamlining configuration management.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request modifies the commands.go file in the simapp/v2/simdv2/cmd package. It updates the method for setting the default home directory for application configuration from a direct assignment to using viper.SetDefault. This change enhances how the home directory is initialized, ensuring a default value is set. The appExport function remains structurally unchanged but now consistently applies the updated method for setting the home directory. Error handling is preserved, and no new commands are introduced.

Changes

File Path	Change Summary
simapp/v2/simdv2/cmd/commands.go	Updated method for setting the default home directory to viper.SetDefault.
	Adjusted appExport function to use the new method for home directory setting.

168-168: LGTM: Consistent implementation of home flag default.

The change maintains consistency with the newApp function's behavior and correctly implements the home directory override capability.

---

40-40: LGTM: Correct usage of viper.SetDefault for home flag.

The change from Set to SetDefault correctly implements the ability to override the home directory while maintaining backward compatibility.

Let's verify the change doesn't break existing behavior:

✅ Verification successful

The previous search might have been too specific. This broader search will help us:

1. Verify all viper calls related to FlagHome
2. Understand the context where FlagHome is used
3. Ensure consistency in how the flag is handled

The change from viper.Set to viper.SetDefault for FlagHome is correct and consistent

Based on the comprehensive search results, I can verify that:

1. The change in simapp/v2/simdv2/cmd/commands.go correctly uses viper.SetDefault for the home flag.
2. Most other usages of FlagHome in the codebase are either:
   • Reading the value using GetString/Get
   • Setting up command flags
   • Using it as a configuration key
3. The only remaining viper.Set calls for FlagHome are in test files or specific command implementations where explicit setting is required (like in testnet commands).

The change aligns with the PR objective to allow overriding of the home flag while maintaining backward compatibility through SetDefault.

The following scripts were executed for the analysis:

Script:

#!/bin/bash
# Let's do a more comprehensive check for any viper calls related to FlagHome
# This will help us verify the changes are consistent across the codebase

# Check for any viper calls (Set or SetDefault) related to FlagHome
rg -i "viper\.(Set|SetDefault).*FlagHome"

# Also check for the import and usage of FlagHome constant
rg "FlagHome" -A 2 -B 2
