Impossible to get a value from env

[nsitbon]

I have the exact same issue as #30 when upgrading from v0.8.0 to v0.9.0.

Could you supply some code that reproduces the issue, please?
I tried the following code:

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/heetch/confita"
	"github.com/heetch/confita/backend/env"
	"github.com/heetch/confita/backend/flags"
)

type Config struct {
	Host string `config:"host,required"`
}

func main() {
	var cfg Config
	l := confita.NewLoader(env.NewBackend(), flags.NewBackend())
	err := l.Load(context.Background(), &cfg)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("error %v\n", err)
	} else {
		fmt.Printf("ok %q\n", cfg.Host)
	}
}

I ran it with both the environment variable $HOST set and the command line flag -host set, and it seemed to work OK both times. I cannot reproduce the issue.

Hi thank you for your prompt answer.
My bad the guilty tag seems to be v0.8.0:

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/heetch/confita"
	"github.com/heetch/confita/backend/env"
	"github.com/heetch/confita/backend/flags"
)

type Config struct {
    Port int `config:"port,required"`
	Host string `config:"host,required"`
}

func main() {
	var cfg Config
	l := confita.NewLoader(env.NewBackend(), flags.NewBackend())
	err := l.Load(context.Background(), &cfg)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("error %v\n", err)
	} else {
        fmt.Printf("ok %s:%d\n", cfg.Host, cfg.Port)
	}
}

with v0.7.0:

$ PORT=1234 ./proof --host=foo
ok foo:1234

with v0.8.0:

$ PORT=1234 ./proof --host=foo
error required key 'port' for field 'Port' not found

Let me know if you need more info.

Best regards

Is there some reason that you can't use v0.9.0 which has fixed this issue?

[nsitbon]

same issue with v0.9.0

[rogpeppe]

same issue with v0.9.0

As I said above, I can't reproduce the issue with v0.9.0 (see the code I pasted). Does that code fail for you?

Could you provide some code that reproduces the issue for you under v0.9.0, please?

and it works as expected on the v0.7.0 branch https://github.com/nsitbon/confita-bug-demo/tree/v0.7.0

Thanks very much! I've found the bug (introduced in #67). I'll submit a fix soon.
