Unable to load user config

• Cookiecutter version: 1.6.0
• Template project url: -
• Python version: Python 3.6.5
• Operating System: MacOS 10.13.6

Description:

The user config does not seem to be loaded.

What I've run:

# custom-config.yaml
default_context:
	license: "Apache Software License 2.0"

# cookiecutter.json
{
    "license": ["MIT", "BSD-3", "GNU GPL v3.0", "Apache Software License 2.0"]
}

# Output
cookiecutter --config-file custom-config.yaml cookiecutter-template-url
Select license:
1 - MIT
2 - BSD-3
3 - GNU GPL v3.0
4 - Apache Software License 2.0
Choose from 1, 2, 3, 4 [1]:

I was expecting "Apache Software License 2.0" to be number 1 like the example in the documentation.

Cookiecutter correctly changed Mozilla Public License 2.0 to be the first item in the list of license choices. I'm not sure how to help you other than asking you to check for typos in your config file 😟
