Empty defaults?

[broarr]

Hey all,

I'm trying to learn more about how if works. I found this behavior that I found surprising. If I leave out the defaults key, if-run fails. If I keep defaults empty, if-run also fails. If I define any default, even one that is unrelated to my pipeline if succeeds. Is that intended? Below are two minimal examples of manifests that break. If it's not intended can I submit a PR for it?

  plugins:
    divide:
      path: "builtin"
      method: Divide
      config:
        numerator: "test1"
        denominator: "test2"
        output: "test3"

    job:
      pipeline:
        observe:
        regroup:
        compute:
          - divide
        inputs:
          - test1: 32.694612
            test2: 32.327209

This is the error that I keep getting

I tried to repro this today and could not. Turns out that I indented inputs one too many times
