Changing schema name causes `string` defaults to show up as undefined

[anujdatar]

const Conf = require('conf');

const schema = {
	foo: {
		type: 'number',
		maximum: 100,
		minimum: 1,
		default: 50
	},
	bar: {
		type: 'string',
		format: 'url',
                default: 'https://www.google.com'
	},
        test: {
                default: 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'
       }
};

const config = new Conf({schema});

console.log(config.get('foo')); // => 50
console.log(config.get('bar')); // => https://www.google.com
console.log(config.get('test')); // => aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

This works fine, just changing even one character from the schema name causes all string defaults to be returned as undefined.

Something as simple as capitalizing the S in schema throws it off. Numbers seem to work fine. Same issue when you remove type definition from the schema, numbers work, strings don't.

const Conf = require('conf');

const Schema = {
	foo: {
		type: 'number',
		maximum: 100,
		minimum: 1,
		default: 50
	},
	bar: {
		type: 'string',
		format: 'url',
                default: 'https://www.google.com'
	},
        test: {
                default: 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'
       }
};

const config = new Conf({Schema});

console.log(config.get('foo')); // => 50
console.log(config.get('bar')); // => undefined
console.log(config.get('test')); // => undefined

I am using Node v14.15.1

const config = new Conf({Schema});

is shorthand for:

const config = new Conf({Schema: Schema});

so the option name is no longer what's expected.

Right, what I meant was the name of the schema variable, not the option name.

I just used schema and Schema in the initial issue to say that even a slight change in the schema variable name causes string defaults to be returned as undefined. (Notice: one has a lowercase s, and the other has an uppercase S)

So, this works:

const schema = {...some_schema_object}

const config = new Conf({schema})  // works as expected

But, the following examples don't work:

const someRandomVariableName = {...some_schema_object}

const config = new Conf({someRandomVariableName})  // does not work

or

const confSchema = {...some_schema_object}

const config = new Conf({confSchema})  // does not work

or

const Schema = {...some_schema_object}

const config = new Conf({Schema})  // does not work
