Yaml config not working

[gpongelli]

Hi,
I've noticed that yaml config file isn't parsed, meanwhile json and toml are.

config.json:

{
  "main": {
    "str_p": "ok"
  }
}

config.yaml:

main:
  str_p: "ko"

config.toml:

[main]
str_p="toml"

code snippet

MAIN_CONTEXT_SETTINGS = dict(help_option_names=['-h', '--help'], show_default=True)

@group(invoke_without_command=True, align_option_groups=False, 
       no_args_is_help=False,
       context_settings=MAIN_CONTEXT_SETTINGS) 
@config_option(default=str(Path.cwd() / "*.yaml"), formats=Formats.YAML)  # changed both to json to see differences
@verbosity_option(default="INFO")
@option("--str-p", type=str, default="oooo")
@pass_context
def main(ctx,str_p):
    echo(str_p)

both config.yaml and config.json are into the same folder and are loaded, but the output is different:

• json prints ok loaded from file
• toml prints toml loaded from file
• yaml prints oooo coming from default value

Am I doing something in a wrong way ?

useful versions:
python 3.11
click 8.1.7
click-extra 4.7.4

Thanks.

I found the solution: I've other yaml file in the repository, so when using *.yaml click-extra loads a file that it's not the "config" expected one.
I've found which file is loaded using echo(f"Configuration location: {ctx.meta['click_extra.conf_source']}") from docs.

Forcing to load "config.yaml" file in @config_option(default=str(Path.cwd() / "config.yaml"), formats=Formats.YAML) solves the issue.

Thanks @gpongelli for giving Click Extra a try! Happy to see that you ended up finding the root cause of your issue!

And yes, the configuration loader is quite flexible so it's easy to make it work unexpectedly. You did the right thing looking into the ctx.meta. I'm glad I added these direct metadata there.
