error decoding map: key is not a valid map index

[bj0]

I tried this:

val d = mapOf("key" to "value")
val t = Toml.encodeToString(d)

Toml.decodeFromString<Map<String,String>>(t)

It throws an IllegalArgumentException: key is not a valid map index.

This seems so simple that maybe I'm using it wrong?

It works fine with Json serialization.

What does t look like?

[bj0]

it was key = "value"

Hmmm doesn't encodeToString produce any extra newlines etc.? Did you try Toml.decodeFromString<Map<String,String>>("""key = "value"""")?

I'm doing this in a kotlin scratch file, if that matters.

val d = mapOf("key" to "value")
val t = Toml.encodeToString(d)
println("encoded: '$t'")

try {
    Toml.decodeFromString<Map<String, String>>("""key = "value"""")
} catch (t: Throwable) {
    t.toString()
}

output is encoded: 'key = "value"' and the same exception is thrown on decode.

That definitely is a bug in the decoding process, I'd have to look at the source in an IDE to see where it is thrown from. I haven't used ktoml for a while as I've hit a roadblock bug and had to migrate to tomlkt...

Yeah, right now I am very lazily support this project, hope I will have some time to return back to it.
If you need this bugfix very urgently - the only thing you can do is to make a patch for it if it is possible for you 😢

[matytyma]

Sure, I'll dig into it once I find some free time
