Topic: ✔ What's wrong with my `meta.yml`?

I am using this template repository for my Coq project. There is something wrong with this project's meta.yml.

<https://github.com/diohabara/coq-template>

The auto-generated theories/dune is like this. It lacks name. How can I fill it out with something? If I leave it blank, dune build errs. Perhaps, I need to generate files from meta.yml only once and I don't have to care about it?

(coq.theory
 (name )
 (package coq-short)
 (synopsis "synopsis"))

@pikachu the name part is filled in from the namespace field in meta.yml

for example:

shortname: huffman
namespace: Huffman
synopsis: Coq proof of the correctness of the Huffman coding algorithm

yields

(coq.theory
 (name Huffman)
 (package coq-huffman)
 (synopsis "Coq proof of the correctness of the Huffman coding algorithm"))

@Karl Palmskog
Thank you!
Do you know where the document of meta.yml exists? I found some examples but couldn't find its specifications.

@pikachu the best documentation we have is a yaml file in the template repo: https://github.com/coq-community/templates/blob/master/ref.yml

However, it usually doesn't specify exactly how a meta.yml field is used, just where (in what template files)

so looking at the .mustache files can be the best available documentation in some cases
