Confusion between Alire Configuration (alr config) and Crate configuration

[reznikmm]

Describe the bug It seems configuration variable don't work.

To Reproduce

• alr init --bin test; cd test
• alr config --set cortex_m.core m4f
• alr with cortex_m At this point alr 2.0 rc1 succeed, but alr 1.2.1 shows error:

  error: Configuration variable 'cortex_m.core not set and has no default value.

But the variable is there:

alr config --list --show-origin
LOCAL: last_build_profile=DEVELOPMENT
GLOBAL: toolchain.external.gprbuild=FALSE
GLOBAL: toolchain.assistant=false
LOCAL: cortex_m.core=m4f
GLOBAL: toolchain.use.gnat=gnat_arm_elf=13.2.1
GLOBAL: toolchain.use.gprbuild=gprbuild=22.0.1
GLOBAL: toolchain.external.gnat=FALSE

• alr build

  warn: Configuration variable 'cortex_m.core' not set and has no default value.
  error: Configuration variables without a default remain unset

Expected Behavior I expect:

• No error messages if variable is set with alr config --set cortex_m.core m4f

alr version

Hi Max,

alr config is for Alire configuration, not crate configuration. I know it's confusing, but everything is working fine.

Edit alire.toml to put the cortex_m crate configuration value in it:

[configuration.values]
cortex_m.core = "m4f"
