Need help troubleshooting

[joebonneau]

Hi there,

I'm new to go-toml and I'm trying to set up a config parser for a CLI tool that I'm working on. I can't seem to understand why go-toml isn't behaving as I expect.

Here is the .toml file that I am reading in:

[session.name]
prepend_parent_dir = true

default_startup_script = "~/git_repos/dotfiles/bin/sesh/scripts/default.sh"

[[startup_scripts]]
session_path = "~/git_repos/sesh"
script_path = "~/git_repos/dotfiles/bin/sesh/scripts/sesh.sh"

and here is the accompanying Go code:

type (
        SessionName struct {
	         PrependParentDir bool `toml:"prepend_parent_dir"`
         }
        Session struct {
	        Name SessionName
        }
	Script struct {
		SessionPath string `toml:"session_path"`
		ScriptPath  string `toml:"script_path"`
	}
	Config struct {
		Session              Session
		StartupScripts       []Script `toml:"startup_scripts"`
		DefaultStartupScript string   `toml:"default_startup_script"`
	}
)

func ParseConfigFile() Config {
	configDir, err := os.UserConfigDir()
	config := Config{}
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf(
			"Error determining the user config directory: %s\nUsing default config instead",
			err,
		)
		return config
	}
	configPath := filepath.Join(configDir, "sesh", "sesh.toml")
	data, err := os.ReadFile(configPath)
	if err != nil {
		return config
	}
	err = toml.Unmarshal(data, &config)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf(
			"Error parsing config file: %s\nUsing default config instead",
			err,
		)
		return config
	}
	return config
}

When I toss a fmt.Printf("%+v\n", config) in, the output I get is:
{Session:{Name:{PrependParentDir:false}} StartupScripts:[] DefaultStartupScript:}

And I would expect to instead get:
{Session:{Name:{PrependParentDir:true}} StartupScripts:[{SessionPath:"~/git_repos/sesh" ScriptPath:"~/git_repos/dotfiles/bin/sesh/scripts/sesh.sh"}] DefaultStartupScript:"~/git_repos/dotfiles/bin/sesh/scripts/default.sh"}

If anyone happens to see something wrong with what I'm doing, I would greatly appreciate if you could point it out to me. Thanks in advance!

Of course I figured it out after posting!

I was expecting os.UserConfigDir() to return ~/.config on MacOS, but that was not the case.
