[Configobj-develop] Why does my config file behave this way?

[Jason B. <jb...@ze...>]

Here's a simplified version of a config file I'm using for envbuilder:

    [[sbcl]]
    setup = 'cp $CWD/customize-target-features.lisp $dir', 'sh make.sh', 'sh
install.sh'

$CWD is an option that I implicitly define at the toplevel to be the
directory from which envb is run, and $dir has a default.  Each item in this
list is a terminal command that's supposed to be part of a build process.

I'm getting some weird behavior that I suspect has to do with me using
validation and interpolation.  As it stands right now, setup isn't defined
in the configspec.  And so when I do the above, none of the values get
interpolated.  IE, the first command that gets issued is literally "cp
$CWD/customize-target-features.lisp $dir".  However, if I changed it to be a
single string, it works fine.  I can make this work properly if I add a
setup option in the configspec and set it to force_list.  Thus, this is
working for me.  I just want to get a better understanding of what's going
on here.  Can anyone shed some light on it?

What version of ConfigObj are you using? I'm pretty sure that 
interpolation in list values was only just added in the 4.7 release.

Ok, so I didn't fully understand the issue you had. Are you saying that 
interpolation from inside a list is not working for you?

Can you provide a minimal repro? It could well just be a bug...

Thanks
