Env Error conversion number to string

[Gabriel-Paulucci]

Hello, I found a problem in the sending system, where I enter a number, and I expect to receive a string and I end up getting an error, and I believe it was supposed to be a conversion

use figment::{providers::Env, Figment};

#[derive(Deserialize, Debug)]
pub struct Config {
    pub secret: String,
}

impl Config {
    pub fn figment() -> Figment {
        Figment::new().merge(Env::prefixed("APP_").global())
    }
}

Error

thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Error { tag: Tag(Global, 1), profile: Some(Profile(Uncased { string: "global" })), metadata: Some(Metadata { name: "`APP_` environment variable(s)", source: None, provide_location: Some(Location { file: "src\\config.rs", line: 10, col: 24 }), interpolater:  }), path: ["secret"], kind: InvalidType(Unsigned(123), "a string"), prev: None }', src\main.rs:9:54

Sorry, there aren't enough details in your issue to understand what you think should be happening vs. what's happening. Can you post a complete program, how you're executing it, and what input you're providing?

Well I had already put a way to reproduce this error but I will make another code, explaining better, but in a simple way it is, if my code is expecting a string and I put a number and that gives an error

Ah, got it. I missed your link in your initial commit, actually. My apologies.

The syntax for values from environment variables is discussed in detail in the Env docs. You'll see that FOO=123 is serialized as an integer, not a string. For a string you'd need to use quotes, which might be FOO=\"123\", depending on your terminal. If you want to allow other kinds of values to becomes strings, implement a custom deserializer for String using serde's #[serde(deserialize_with = "path")].
