[question] How to access a value defined in the `[conf]` section of a profile?

[PauloCarvalhoRJ]

Greetings,

I have a profile file with this content:

include(default)
[conf]
tools.cmake.cmake_layout:test_folder=C:\conan_tmp

How do I access that value from within a recipe? Extrapolating the rationale described here (https://docs.conan.io/2/reference/config_files/profiles.html), I tried self.conf.tools.cmake.cmake_layout['test_folder'] and I get this error: AttributeError: 'Conf' object has no attribute 'tools'. Apparently, Conan loads the [conf] section but I don't know how to access the setting declared in it.

thanks,

PC
