`gets` template function not working with `default_backends.env`

[japtain-cack]

export RUST_CFG_FOO=foo
export RUST_CFG_BAR=bar

{% for kv in gets("/rust/cfg/*") %}
{{ kv.Key }} {{ kv.Value }}
{% endfor %}

Result is an empty file.

Here is exactly what I'm trying to do in Jinja2 (using envtpl as a workaround):

{%- for key,value in environment('RUST_CFG_') %}
{%- set key_list = key.lower().split('_') %}
{%- if key_list[-1].isnumeric() %}
{%- set _ = key_list.pop(-1) %}
{%- endif %}
{{ key_list|join('.') }} {{ value }}
{%- endfor %}

Also, there seem to be very little documentation around the default_backends.env. I need to build a config file from an arbitrary number of env vars, using {{key}} {{value}}. At first glance, the docs say this is supported with gets(). I would assume the data retrieved to be agnostic of the backends, so I would expect to be able to use gets("/rust/cfg/*") regardless of the backend. If this is not the case, maybe this can be called out in the documentation?

Could you give me the complete config? The data is agnostic to the backend so this should work.

Thank you for confirming this is possible. I thought I might be loosing my mind. I don't have the original file anymore. However, that was the complete contents in the second code block, under the exports. I decided to use envtpl for now, because I know Jinja and Python the best, but I would like to solve this in remco and consolidate everything if possible.

This file has the behavior I'm attempting to replicate in remco: https://gitlab.com/japtain_cack/rust-server/-/blob/master/envtpl/server.cfg.tpl

Hmm, its working here:

$ find /etc/remco/
/etc/remco/
/etc/remco/resources.d
/etc/remco/resources.d/start.sh.toml
/etc/remco/templates
/etc/remco/templates/start.sh
/etc/remco/config

config:

#config.toml

retries = 0
include_dir = "/etc/remco/resources.d"

[default_backends]
[default_backends.env]
    onetime = true
    keys = ["/rust"]

/etc/remco/resources.d/start.sh.toml

[[template]]
  src = "/etc/remco/templates/start.sh"
  dst = "/home/rkaufmann/start.sh"
  make_directories = true
  mode = "0555"

/etc/remco/templates/start.sh

{% for kv in gets("/rust/cfg/*") %}
{{ kv.Key }} {{ kv.Value }}
{% endfor %}

Ahh, the file in question no longer exists as I was trying to get this working, let me cut a branch, recreate the remco template and I'll re-post the file. Never had an issue with the start.sh template. I think the file was called server.cfg.
