Package: python3-pytoolconfig
Version: 1.3.1-5
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
`IniConfig` returns the raw `configparser` values, and
`_dict_to_dataclass()` assigns them without conversion, so non-string
fields get strings. This is especially problematic for booleans, since
`"false"` is truthy.
setup.cfg:
[t]
flag = false
n = 3
test.py:
from dataclasses import dataclass
from pathlib import Path
from pytoolconfig import PyToolConfig
from pytoolconfig.sources import SetupConfig
@dataclass
class Config:
flag: bool = True
n: int = 0
cwd = Path(".")
config = PyToolConfig("t", cwd, Config, custom_sources=[SetupConfig(cwd,
"t")]).parse()
print(repr(config.flag), repr(config.n))
Actual: `'false' '3'`
Expected: `False 3`
Since INI has no types, the values need to be converted according to the
field type, e.g. `ConfigParser.getboolean()` semantics for `bool`, and
`int()` / `float()` for numeric fields.
Reproduced with python3-pytoolconfig 1.3.1-5 (code unchanged in 1.3.1-6)
on Python 3.13 and 3.14, and with upstream main (bee6db4).
This is an upstream bug, it will be forwarded.
