How to change location of ubxsimulator config file?

[alexschulster]

Hello,
I need to use the ubxsimulator option and would like to keep its configuration json file within the project repository instead of having it at the default location ~/ubxsimulator.json.
I can't find the option to specify a path to the config file. How can I achieve this?

Hi @alexschulster

You can set a non-default configuration json file location via the UBXSIMULATOR_JSON environment variable, e.g.:

export UBXSIMULATOR_JSON=/Users/myuser/Downloads/ubxsimulator.json
pygpsclient

This works perfectly, thank you!

No worries - bear in mind the UBXSimulator feature is highly experimental, but feel free to suggest new features.
