global.conf

global.conf 文件位于 Conan 用户主目录，例如 [CONAN_HOME]/global.conf。如果它不存在，则会自动创建一个默认文件。

配置简介

global.conf 旨在保存一些 Conan 将使用的核心/工具/用户配置变量。例如：

  • 包 ID 模式。

  • 通用 HTTP (python-requests) 配置。

  • 下载/上传 recipe 时的重试次数。

  • 相关工具配置（由 toolchain、helper 等使用）

  • 其他（所需的 Conan 版本、CLI 非交互式等）

我们简要解释一下现有的三种配置类型：

  • core.*: 旨在配置 Conan 核心行为的值（下载重试、包 ID 模式等）。仅可在 global.conf 文件中定义。

  • tools.*: 旨在配置您 recipe 中使用的 Conan 工具（toolchain、构建 helper 等）的值。可在 global.conf 和 profiles 中定义。

  • user.*: 旨在定义个人用户配置。它们可以定义用户想要的任何内容。可在 global.conf 和 profiles 中定义。

用户/工具配置

工具和用户配置可以在 global.conf 文件和 Conan profiles 中定义。它们看起来像这样：

global.conf
tools.build:verbosity=verbose
tools.microsoft.msbuild:max_cpu_count=2
tools.microsoft.msbuild:vs_version = 16
tools.build:jobs=10
# User conf variable
user.confvar:something=False

重要

Profiles 中的值将优先于 global.conf 中全局定义的值。

以下是关于配置项范围和命名的一些提示：

  • core.xxx 和 tools.yyy 是 Conan 内置的，用户不能在这些范围内定义自己的配置。

  • core.xxx 只能在 global.conf 中定义或通过 --core-conf CLI 参数定义，但不能在 profiles 中定义。

  • tools.yyy 可以在 global.conf、profiles 的 [conf] 部分以及作为 CLI -c 参数进行定义

  • user.zzz 可以在任何地方定义，完全由用户自由决定，没有既定的命名约定。然而，以下是更常见或预期的做法：

    • 对于开源库，特别是 conancenter 中的库，可能期望使用 user.packagename:conf，例如 boost recipe 定义 user.boost:conf 配置

    • 对于私有用途，建议使用类似 user.orgname:conf 用于所有项目的全局组织配置，user.orgname.project:conf 用于项目或包配置，尽管如果项目名称足够独特，user.project:conf 也可以。

    • 它们_必须_有一个 : 分隔符，例如 user.myorg:conf，而不是 user.myorg.conf 或 user.myorg。这是为了与模式区分开来，模式将在下面讨论。

配置文件模板

global.conf 可以使用 jinja2 模板引擎。当 Conan 加载此文件时，它会立即解析并渲染模板，结果必须是标准的工具配置文本。

# Using all the cores automatically
tools.build:jobs={{os.cpu_count()}}
# Using the current OS
user.myconf.system:name = {{platform.system()}}

Conan 还会将 detect_api（不稳定，请阅读参考资料）注入 jinja 渲染上下文。您可以这样使用它：

user.myteam:myconf1={{detect_api.detect_os()}}
user.myteam:myconf2={{detect_api.detect_arch()}}

有关如何使用它的更多信息，请查看 profiles 参考中的detect_api 部分。

传递给渲染模板的 Python 包有所有平台的 os 和 platform，以及 Linux 平台的 distro。此外，变量 conan_version 和 conan_home_folder 也可用。

配置数据类型

所有值都将由 Conan 解释为 Python 内置 eval() 函数的结果

# String
tools.build:verbosity=verbose
# Boolean
tools.system.package_manager:sudo=True
# Integer
tools.microsoft.msbuild:max_cpu_count=2
# List of values
user.myconf.build:ldflags=["--flag1", "--flag2"]
# Dictionary
tools.microsoft.msbuildtoolchain:compile_options={"ExceptionHandling": "Async"}

配置数据运算符

在 global.conf 或任何 profiles 中编写工具配置时，也可以使用一些额外的运算符

  • += == append: 将值附加到现有值的末尾（仅适用于列表）。

  • =+ == prepend: 将值放在现有值的开头（仅适用于列表）。

  • *= == update: 仅更新指定的键，其余保持不变（仅适用于字典）

  • =! == unset: 删除任何配置值。

global.conf
# Define the value => ["-f1"]
user.myconf.build:flags=["-f1"]

# Append the value ["-f2"] => ["-f1", "-f2"]
user.myconf.build:flags+=["-f2"]

# Prepend the value ["-f0"] => ["-f0", "-f1", "-f2"]
user.myconf.build:flags=+["-f0"]

# Unset the value
user.myconf.build:flags=!

# Define the value => {"a": 1, "b": 2}
user.myconf.build:other={"a": 1, "b": 2}

# Update b = 4 => {"a": 1, "b": 4}
user.myconf.build:other*={"b": 4}

配置模式

您可以使用包模式将配置应用于匹配的依赖项

*:tools.cmake.cmaketoolchain:generator=Ninja
zlib/*:tools.cmake.cmaketoolchain:generator=Visual Studio 16 2019

此示例展示了如何为所有包指定一个通用的 generator，但 zlib 除外，它将 Visual Studio 16 2019 定义为其 generator。

除此之外，非常重要的是要说明顺序很重要。因此，如果我们更改上述配置行的顺序：

zlib/*:tools.cmake.cmaketoolchain:generator=Visual Studio 16 2019
*:tools.cmake.cmaketoolchain:generator=Ninja

结果是您为所有包指定了一个通用的 generator，仅此而已。zlib 行无效，因为它首先被评估，之后 Conan 用更通用的模式覆盖了该特定模式，因此值得特别注意顺序。

内置配置信息

本节提供有关特定配置的额外信息。

网络配置

客户端证书配置

Conan 支持客户端 TLS 证书。您可以使用以下配置变量配置现有 Cacert 文件和/或客户端证书（和密钥）的路径：

  • core.net.http:cacert_path: 包含自定义 Cacert 文件的路径。

  • core.net.http:client_cert: 包含客户端证书（和密钥）的文件路径或元组。更多详情请参阅 Python requests 和客户端证书

例如

[CONAN_HOME]/global.conf
core.net.http:cacert_path=/path/to/cacert.pem
core.net.http:client_cert=('/path/client.cert', '/path/client.key')

另请参阅

  • tools.files.download:verify: 如果启用，设置 tools.files.download:verify=False 会带来安全风险，因为它会禁用证书验证。除非您了解其影响（即使如此，适当地将配置限定在所需的 recipe 中也是一个好主意），或者您将其用于开发目的，否则请勿使用它。

代理

有 3 个 confs 可以定义代理信息：

$ conan config list proxies
core.net.http:clean_system_proxy: If defined, the proxies system env-vars will be discarded
core.net.http:no_proxy_match: List of urls to skip from proxies configuration
core.net.http:proxies: Dictionary containing the proxy configuration

core.net.http:proxies 字典会传递给底层的 python-requests 库，作为“proxies”参数，如 python-requests 文档 中所述

core.net:no_proxy_match 是一个 URL 模式列表，例如：

core.net.http:no_proxy_match = ["http://someurl.com/*"]

用于从 proxies 配置中排除的 URL。这意味着所有与这些模式中的任何一个匹配的引用 URL 都不会接收 proxies 定义。请注意，模式中的 * 对于匹配是必需的。

如果 core.net.http:clean_system_proxy 为 True，那么环境变量 "http_proxy", "https_proxy", "ftp_proxy", "all_proxy", "no_proxy" 将会从环境中暂时移除，这样它们在解析代理时就不会被考虑在内。

存储配置

core.cache:storage_path

Conan 包和包数据库存储的文件夹的绝对路径。此文件夹将是 Conan 最重的存储文件夹，因为它存储下载或创建的二进制包。

global.conf
core.cache:storage_path = C:\Users\danielm\my_conan_storage_folder

默认值： <CONAN_HOME>/p

core.download:download_cache

Conan 包将压缩存储的文件夹的绝对路径。这对于避免重复下载相同的包很有用，尤其是在 CI 中。

global.conf
core.download:download_cache = C:\Users\danielm\my_download_cache

默认值： 未定义。

UX 配置

跳过警告

Conan 在某些情况下会输出一些警告，可以通过将警告标签添加到 core:skip_warnings 配置的值中来省略它们。

这些警告是：

  • deprecated: 用于弃用功能（例如旧版生成器）的消息

  • network: 与网络问题相关的消息，例如重试
