Chezmoi template is not able to get variables #2712

Closed cregev closed 1 year ago

cregev commented 1 year ago

What exactly are you trying to do?

I am running Chezmoi and I am trying to get variables from promptString into data in order to be able to use them in all other templates with *.tmpl file.

~ chezmoi data

{
  "chezmoi": {
    "arch": "arm64",
    "args": [
      "/opt/homebrew/bin/chezmoi",
      "data"
    ],
    "cacheDir": "/Users/costyaregev/.cache/chezmoi",
    "configFile": "/Users/costyaregev/.config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml",
    "executable": "/opt/homebrew/bin/chezmoi",
    "fqdnHostname": "macOS-Costya-Regev",
    "gid": "20",
    "group": "staff",
    "homeDir": "/Users/costyaregev",
    "hostname": "macOS-Costya-Regev",
    "kernel": {},
    "os": "darwin",
    "osRelease": {},
    "sourceDir": "/Users/costyaregev/.local/share/chezmoi/home",
    "uid": "501",
    "username": "costyaregev",
    "version": {
      "builtBy": "Homebrew",
      "commit": "fec55002b83b3688d13988055226aa716b0c7c14",
      "date": "2023-01-19T20:40:03Z",
      "version": "2.29.3"
    },
    "windowsVersion": {},
    "workingTree": "/Users/costyaregev/.local/share/chezmoi"
  }
}

What have you tried so far?

First, I have tried to pass only 2 variables in my file .chezmoi.yaml.tmpl:

{{ $full_name := promptString "Full Name" }}
{{ $tweak_mac := promptBool "Do you want to tweak you MAC??" }}

data:
    full_name: {{ $full_name | quote }}
    tweak_mac: {{ $tweak_mac }}

When I have the following template private_config.tmpl:

Host *
  StrictHostKeyChecking no
  GSSAPIAuthentication yes
  UseRoaming no
  User local_"{{ .full_name }}"

The output of the following command:

chezmoi: template: stdin:5:17: executing "stdin" at <.full_name>: map has no entry for key "full_name"

Where else have you checked for solutions?

I have hard coded 2 values .chezmoi.yaml.tmpl:

data:
    full_name: "costya"
    tweak_mac: true

When I have the following template private_config.tmpl:

Host *
  StrictHostKeyChecking no
  GSSAPIAuthentication yes
  UseRoaming no
  User local_"{{ .full_name }}"

Output:

full_name and tweak_mac don't appear in your chezmoi data. I don't think they are being initialized because I don't think underscores are supported in variable names.

https://www.chezmoi.io/reference/templates/variables:

Variable names must consist of a letter and be followed by zero or more letters and/or digits.

halostatue commented 1 year ago

The documentation should be updated, because _ are considered "letters":

❯ chezmoi execute-template '{{ $_x := .chezmoi.arch }}{{ $_x }}'
arm64

.chezmoi.yaml.tmpl is used to generate ~/.config/chezmoi/chezmoi.yaml and is not itself run during apply, only during init. So if the hardcoded values aren’t in ~/.config/chezmoi/chezmoi.yaml, the error (that the data does not contain .full_name) is correct.

I think @halostatue has spotted the problem.

You have a config file template, but you don't have a config file. To generate the config file, run:

$ chezmoi init
