[switch_rules:alwaystrue] with multiple steps - Questions

[dearith]

I'm trying to use [switch_rules:alwaystrue] in my foo plugin with multiple steps : main and other

My config.ini (according to the documentation with multiple steps) [switch_rules:alwaystrue] *=main, other

With this configuration, switch fails : Bad syntax

The plugin_switch_rules.ini :

# GENERATED FILE

# <CONTRIBUTION OF foo PLUGIN>

[switch_rules_foo:alwaystrue]
* = foo/main, other
# </CONTRIBUTION OF foo PLUGIN>

# <CONTRIBUTION OF ungzip PLUGIN>

[switch_rules_ungzip:fnmatch:latest.guess_file_type.main.system_magic]
gzip compressed data* = ungzip/main
# </CONTRIBUTION OF ungzip PLUGIN>

Now, if I set my switch rules like this:

[switch_rules:alwaystrue]
*=foo/main, foo/other

It works,

Is it an issue or am I wrong ? What is the correct way to configure rules with mutiple steps ?

ok, great @dearith! this is a bug with multiple targets steps when not adding explicitly the plugin name!

let's fix it!
