Write table with keys containing a dot

[corrantho]

Hello,

I have the below code

    doc = tomlkit.document()
    a = tomlkit.aot()
    t = tomlkit.table()

    t.add("name", "test")
    t.add("a.prop1", "value1")
    t.add("a.prop2", "value2")
    a.append(t)
    doc.add("test", a)
    
    print(tomlkit.dumps(doc))

I'm trying to add to a table some elements containing some dots.

I'm expecting the below result:

[[test]]
name = "test"
a.prop1 = "value1"
a.prop2 = "value2"

but I'm getting

[[test]]
name = "test"
"a.prop1" = "value1"
"a.prop2" = "value2"

There are extra double quotes I don't want.

Any idea how am I using wrongly the tomlkit library?

Thanks in advance.

use tomlkit.key([key1, key2]) to get dotted key, or it will be regarded as a single key. The example would be:

t.add(tomlkit.key(["a", "prop1"]), "value2")

Thank you for your response.
It works fine when I add one property as below

import tomlkit

doc = tomlkit.document()
a = tomlkit.aot()
t = tomlkit.table()

t.add("name", "test")
t.add(tomlkit.key(["a", "prop1"]), "value1")

a.append(t)
doc.add("test", a)

print(tomlkit.dumps(doc))

But as soon as I add a second property, it fails.

import tomlkit

doc = tomlkit.document()
a = tomlkit.aot()
t = tomlkit.table()

t.add("name", "test")
t.add(tomlkit.key(["a", "prop1"]), "value1")
t.add(tomlkit.key(["a", "prop2"]), "value2")

a.append(t)
doc.add("test", a)

print(tomlkit.dumps(doc))

With the error

I think it's fixed by #284
It appears I'm using an outdated version of tomlkit.
