Trying to template chezmoi.toml with prompts

alfredopalhares commented 1 year ago

What exactly are you trying to do?

I am trying to template .config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml to prompt me the main aspects that differ from machine to machine.

What have you tried so far?

I have tried the following to try and prove the idea, here is a chezmoi.toml.tmpl:

# -*-mode:conf-toml-*- vim:ft=toml

[git]
   autoCommit = false

# {{ $email := promptString "Git email address for the author/committer" -}}
# {{ $name := promptString "Git username for the author/committer" -}}

[data]
    email = "{{ $email }}"
    name = "{{ $name }}"

So far, i have tried this. but so far failing:

-> % chezmoi status --verbose
chezmoi: template: dot_config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml.tmpl:6: function "promptString" not defined

Where else have you checked for solutions?

[x] I have read chezmoi's user guide, and not found the answer.
[x] I have searched chezmoi's reference guide, and not found the answer.
[x] Searched the Github Issues, and I see people doing it this way, but I am failing to execute

Output of any commands you've tried with `--verbose` flag

-> % chezmoi status --verbose

The config file template needs to be stored in ~/.local/share/chezmoi/.chezmoi.toml.tmpl. See the section in the user guide.

I found my problem, I have tried that location but it did not work, that was because I already had a copy of the file in dot_config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml. Thank you for the heads up either way!
