Get generated project's destination within copier.yml

[jboys]

How do I get the generated project's destination from within copier.yml?

For example, when running copier path/to/project/template path/to/destination I want to use destination as the default answer to my project_name question.

I want to do something like this:

# copier.yml

project_name: [[ _dst_path | basename ]]

Have you tried _copier_conf.dst_path?

[jboys]

Yes, but I get the error '_copier_conf' is undefined

Probably it's not available while in copier.yaml, which has some special constraints regarding to the environment it runs into.

@jboys Did you ever resolve this? I was looking to enforce the destination naming format was enforce and I have the same issue with _copier_conf. Thanks

For that use case, maybe tasks will help.
