License File was created but empty

[meramsey]

I noticed i had a license file but it was empty even though i had selected MIT license in the installer.

Showed in pyproject.toml file but file was empty.
license = "MIT License"

Is it supposed to pull down and fill it with the appropriate boilerplate one? If not that fine but it was slightly confusing.

Just in case it is useful output from when i generated the project.

Hi @whattheserver, thanks for the report! I couldn't see anything wrong in the code yet. I'll try to add a test to check that the license file was correctly rendered.

[pawamoy]

Ah! The error was obvious 😑

The templated LICENSE uses a variable named license instead of copyright_license.

Will fix this immediatly 🙂

[pawamoy]

I'll try to release soon, this is fixed 🙂
