Delete deprecated functions in Config.util, and associated tests. by jdmarshall · Pull Request #845 · node-config/node-config

Walkthrough

Removed many deprecated util wrapper functions from lib/config.js and pruned/updated tests and fixtures accordingly; several tests were refactored to use the Load utility and some assertions now expect makeImmutable instead of cloneDeep. No new runtime features added.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Core util wrapper removals
lib/config.js
Removed many deprecated util wrappers (e.g., makeHidden, getOption, locateMatchingFiles, resolveDeferredConfigs, parseFile, parseString, cloneDeep, setPath, substituteDeep, getCustomEnvVars, equalsDeep, diffDeep, extendDeep, isObject, isPromise, initParam, getCmdLineArg, getEnv, getRegExpFlags). Core behavior and non-deprecated APIs unchanged.
Pruned util-related tests
test/1-protected-test.js, test/util.js
Deleted test suites covering many util functions and some attachProtoDeep cases; reduced coverage for deprecated helpers.
Env precedence tests and fixtures removed
test/12-node_env-override.js, test/13-node_env-hostname.js, test/12-config/*.json
Removed environment-precedence tests and related fixture entries (apollo.json, development.json content removed, mercury.json deleted).
SkipConfigSources tests and fixtures removed
test/18-skipConfigSources.js, test/18-config/default.json, test/18-extra-config/*
Deleted skipConfigSources tests and associated fixture files (default.json, customFile.json, etc.).
Load-based test refactors
test/19-custom-environment-variables.js, test/7-unicode-situations.js
Replaced direct parseFile usage in tests with Load.loadFile from lib/util (introduces test use of named export Load); removed getCustomEnvVars test block.
API assertion update
test/2-config-test.js
Updated tests to expect config.util.makeImmutable (replacing prior cloneDeep checks); removed makeHidden tests.

Poem

Thump-thump—I cleaned the old code stack,
Buried wrappers in a tidy pack.
Tests now hop to Load’s quick track,
makeImmutable keeps settings intact.
A carrot’s cheer, the burrow’s back. 🥕🐇
