Is log-config-dict broken?

[fubel]

I tried using the workaround described here to pass a json dictconfig

exec gunicorn -b :8080 --log-config-dict "$(jq -c @JSON logging_debug.json)" app

But no matter what dictconfig I store in logging_debug.json, the command fails.

Error: Value is not a dictionary

and then listing the passed dictconfig string. The command also fails on the dictconfig from gunicorn.glogging.CONFIG_DEFAULTS:

Error: Value is not a dictionary "{"disable_existing_loggers":false,"version":1,"handlers":{"console":{"formatter":"generic","stream":"sys.stdout","class":"logging.StreamHandler"},"error_console":{"formatter":"generic","stream":"sys.stderr","class":"logging.StreamHandler"}},"loggers":{"gunicorn.access":{"qualname":"gunicorn.access","level":"INFO","handlers":["console"],"propagate":true},"root":{"level":"INFO","handlers":["console"]},"gunicorn.error":{"qualname":"gunicorn.error","level":"INFO","handlers":["error_console"],"propagate":true}},"formatters":{"generic":{"datefmt":"[%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %z]","class":"logging.Formatter"}}}"

Is there a workaround for this?

JSON is not a Python dict literal. I suspect that where you have values like true or null you would need True or None.

Oh, i see. That was my recommendation. I was wrong. I'll edit that comment to clarify that this won't always work.
