User settings and defaults not working

[MrTango]

Hello, i want to use the settings.yml in my user home on a Debian system.
But what ever i do it does not take my settings from my settings.yml file.

My file is located in: /home/maik/.config/copier/settings.yml and i have set the project_name variable in there, as a test.
But when i run my template, the variable is not filled as default.

Also the trust settings are not working, i still have to add --trust to the call.

My settings file looks like this:

defaults:
  user_name: "MrTango"
  user_email: md@derico.de
  github_user: "MrTango"
  gitlab_user: "MrTango78"
  project_name: "test-project"
trust:
  - https://github.com/MrTango

what do i miss here?

Could you please provide your Copier version?

copier --version

I've just done a small test with a default answer and that's working for me. Note that the default answer from settings.yml is ignored for a question that doesn't have any default value. For example

project_name:
  type: str

will not show the default value from settings.yml.

Thank you, you pushed me in the right direction.
So problem one, was the missing default.
The second problem was a missing slash at the end and the fact that the short version has to be also defined there:

trust:
  - https://github.com/MrTango/
  - gh:MrTango/

Great, I'm glad you figured it out. 🙂
