@import struct from zon

[cold ether]

It's my first time using zon and I'm confused, cuz I don't think you can specify the type in zon, and then when you try to assign the struct to a different variable the type doesn't match - expected type 'Target.Query', found 'build.build_zig_zon__struct_67147'

[lapis totem]

What does your zon look like?

[cold ether]

.{
...
.default_target = .{ .os_tag = .linux, .abi = .gnu, .cpu_arch = .x86_64, .android_api_level = 21 },
...
}

[lapis totem]

and how are you importing it?

[cold ether]

const build_zig_zon = @import("build.zig.zon");

[lapis totem]

I think you should specify the type to coerce to const zon: T = ...

[cold ether]

Is there no way to do that automatically? That's really inconenient

[lapis totem]

it would be equivalent to writing:

const zon = .{
...
    .default_target = .{ .os_tag = .linux, .abi = .gnu, .cpu_arch = .x86_64, .android_api_level = 21 },
...
}

so not really

[cold ether]

yeah ig that makes sense
Is there no way to turn one struct type to another?

When the fields are the same

[lapis totem]

it does that automatically

but only when its RLS

this would coerce because it has the result location

const x: T = .{};

this doesn't

const x = .{};
const y: T = x;

[cold ether]

Okay
Well that inconvenient
Thank you

[lapis totem]

you can just specify your own custom type of course

[cold ether]

?

[lapis totem]

const zon: struct {default_target: std.Target.Query} = ...;

i think the fields match

[cold ether]

Oh yeah okay
