bug: default boolean not displayed in questionnaire
I have a variable defined in copier.yml like so:
private:
type: bool
default: true
Yet, despite the default value being set that default value is not displayed in the questionnaire:
private? Format: bool
🎤? [Y/n]
Oooooh, I see now that the way the default is rendered is by capitalizing the Y! That's very subtle. Color that value for added emphasis perhaps?
It's the standard way of showing defaults in POSIX (or something) :slightly_smiling_face: EDIT: probably just a convention and nothing to do with POSIX You'll notice that in many other tools, the default value is capitalized. I've became used to it so I know instantly what is the default when seeing this. Of course if you don't know it, you don't know it :smile: Can't find the source of truth, but here's a comment: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/226703/how-do-i-prompt-for-yes-no-cancel-input-in-a-linux-shell-script#comment99369566_226703
Who am I to disagree with convention... I'd still lobby for something less subtle – I, for one, was too ignorant to know of the convention and I've been around the block a few times. But feel free to close if you disagree.
