`.chezmoi.destDir` empty on Windows

[dpprdan]

Describe the bug

According to the documentation, .chezmoi.destDir has the default value %USERPROFILE% in Windows. However, when I run chezmoi execute-template "{{ .chezmoi.destDir }}" I get an key has apparently not been set.

To reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior.

PS C:\> chezmoi execute-template "{{ .chezmoi.destDir }}"
chezmoi: template: arg1:1:11: executing "arg1" at <.chezmoi.destDir>: map has no entry for key "destDir"

Expected behavior

PS C:\> chezmoi execute-template "{{ .chezmoi.destDir }}"
C:/Users/Daniel

Output of command with the --verbose flag

PS C:\> chezmoi execute-template "{{ .chezmoi.destDir }}" --verbose
chezmoi: template: arg1:1:11: executing "arg1" at <.chezmoi.destDir>: map has no entry for key "destDir"

I stumble over this while trying to include a public ssh key (something like ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) in a template. If there is a better way than {{ joinPath .chezmoi.destDir ".ssh/id_rsa.pub" | include | trim | quote }}, I am all ears (e.g. a way to expand a ~ path).

This definitely seems like a bug.

Assuming you haven't overridden the destination directory, you can probably use .chezmoi.homeDir while we investigate.

Thanks for quick response! .chezmoi.homeDir is what I actually want.

This isn't a bug after all. Turns out I have been looking at the wrong document, i.e. configuration-file/variables instead of templates/variables. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Sorry for the confusion!!

Maybe there could/should be a chezmoi.destDir? But that is separate issue, so I am closing this.

Thanks again!
