Struct PathSectionLayer 

pub struct PathSectionLayer {
    pub auto_chmod_exec: Option<bool>,
}

Fields

auto_chmod_exec: Option<bool>

Automatically add execute permissions (+x) to files inside bin/ directories staged by the path handler.

Rationale

Files placed in a bin/ directory are there because the pack author intends them as executables — the directory’s purpose is to expose commands via $PATH. However, execute bits can be lost in common workflows:

• Git on macOS defaults to core.fileMode = false, so cloned repos may have 0o644 on scripts.
• Manual file creation often forgets chmod +x.

Without +x the shell finds the file via PATH lookup but fails with “permission denied” — a confusing error when the file is clearly in the right place.

With this option enabled (the default), dodot up ensures every file in a path-handler directory is executable, matching the user’s intent. Files that are already executable are left untouched. Failures are reported as warnings, not hard errors.

Set to false if you have bin/ files that intentionally should not be executable (e.g. data files or library scripts sourced by other scripts).

Trait Implementations

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for PathSectionLayer

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Layer for PathSectionLayer

fn empty() -> Self

Returns Self where all fields/values are None or empty.

fn default_values() -> Self

Returns an object containing all default values (i.e. set via #[config(default = ...)] when deriving Config) with all remaining values/fields set to None/being empty.

fn from_env() -> Result<Self, Error>

Loads values from environment variables. This is only relevant for fields annotated with #[config(env = "...")]: all fields not annotated env will be None.

fn with_fallback(self, fallback: Self) -> Self

Combines two layers. self has a higher priority; missing values in self are filled with values in fallback, if they exist. The semantics of this method is basically like in Option::or.

fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns true if all values are unspecified/None.

fn is_complete(&self) -> bool

Returns true if all required (non-optional) values in this configuration are set. If this returns true, Config::from_layer will not return an error.
