Description
Hello I would like to know if it's actually possible to have this Settings::new return a Ok result
use config::{Config, ConfigError, Environment};
use serde::Deserialize;
#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
#[allow(unused)]
struct Auth {
token: String,
secret: String,
}
#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
#[allow(unused)]
pub struct Settings {
auths: Vec<Auth>,
}
impl Settings {
pub fn new() -> Result<Self, ConfigError> {
let s = Config::builder()
.add_source(
Environment::with_prefix("APP")
.separator("_")
.try_parsing(true),
)
.build()?;
s.try_deserialize()
}
}
fn main() {
let settings = Settings::new();
// Print out our settings
println!("{:?}", settings);
}
I was thinking something like APP_AUTHS_0_TOKEN=token APP_AUTHS_0_SECRET=secret cargo run
I found the list_separator method on Environment but I think it's only to manage Vec<String>
Is it something that is currently possible ? If not is it a feature that would make sense to implement or maybe I should use another Source ?
Thanks

Research direction
Start by reading the Environment source configuration, especially list_separator and try_parsing, then trace how Settings::new calls build and try_deserialize. Determine whether APP_AUTHS_0_TOKEN and APP_AUTHS_0_SECRET can produce Vec; done means either documenting the supported approach or defining and implementing a decided way to deserialize lists of structs.
