Mention `ConanFile.conf` validity

Open tttapa opened this issue 9 months ago • 2 comments

This addresses comments from @memsharded in https://github.com/conan-io/conan/issues/18008 about which methods are allowed to rely on the data in ConanFile.conf.

I just added a quick note, but it would be great to discuss some more helpful suggestions for people who need these configuration values elsewhere in their recipe.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to improve the docs, we appreciate it!

I think it would be easier to note in which methods access to conf is not allowed, or only a certain kind of confs are allowed to be queried, as the current list would be missing quite a few methods, let me check with the team :)
