[BUG] Included file `windows.toml` can't use more specific key to override

[younger-1]

Environment

• OS: Windows version
• Dotter version: Dotter 0.12.6
• Additional relevant information

Description

In included file windows.toml, I had [vim.files] section. It worked when it was:

[vim.files]
vimrc = { target = "~/_vimrc", type = "symbolic" }
gvimrc = { target = "~/_gvimrc", type = "symbolic" }

But it failed when I want to use more specific key to override the vim path

[vim.files]
vimrc.target = "~/_vimrc"
gvimrc.target = "~/_gvimrc"

Reproduction

Here is my config: global.toml

[helpers]

[default]
depends = []

[default.files]
"conda.yml" = "~/.condarc"
gitconfig = "~/.gitconfig"

[vim.files]
vimrc = { target = "~/.vimrc", type = "symbolic" }
gvimrc = { target = "~/.gvimrc", type = "symbolic" }

[default.variables]

windows.toml

[vim.files]
vimrc.target = "~/_vimrc"
gvimrc.target = "~/_gvimrc"

local.toml

includes = [".dotter/windows.toml"]

packages = ["default", "vim"]

Expected behavior

dotter.exe should deployed successfully.

Actual behavior

dotter.exe compained when executed dotter -d deploy

[ERROR] Failed to deploy
Caused by:
    get a configuration

    data did not match any variant of untagged enum FileTargetOuterRepr for key `vim.files.vimrc`

[SuperCuber]

Yeah this is intended right now because it massively simplifies parsing and loading the configuration. I don't think implementing support for this is worth the development time and complexity - just state the type again in the included file.

PRs welcome :)
