Summary
It's possible to get into a state where the values stored in the config file do not equal the values that viper has in memory. When this happens, if we call
.WriteConfigField
, viper will write other values besides the one we are explicitly passing in, causing unforeseen behavior and very difficult to track down bugs. This change makes it so that viper reads from the current config file, then sets the key we are explicitly trying to override, then writes to the file.
