Booleans resolved through string(forKey:), which produced wrong answers on both sources.

The bug

resolvedBool read every source through string(forKey:). swift-configuration's command-line provider reports a valueless flag (--verbose) only through bool(forKey:) — its string accessor returns nil. So the branch

if source == .commandLine {
  // Flag presence indicates true (e.g. `--verbose`).
  return true
}

was unreachable for the case its own comment describes, and reachable only when a value had been supplied — which it then discarded.

The environment path was wrong independently: truthiness was normalized == "true" || "1" || "yes", so any unrecognized non-empty value collapsed to false instead of nil. A typo'd FLAG=ture silently disabled a flag whose default was true, rather than being ignored.

Measured against a real ConfigReader:

input before after
--verbose (bare) false true
--verbose false true false
--verbose true true true
(absent) default default
FLAG=banana false ignored → default
FLAG=on false ignored → default
FLAG=no false false

The fix

Adds bool(forKey:isSecret:fileID:line:) -> Bool? as a fourth protocol primitive beside string/int/double, and reduces resolvedBool to the same one-line delegation the other three already used.

ConfigReader.bool has the identical signature shape to ConfigReader.string, which already witnesses the protocol, so the retroactive conformance is unchanged — consumers get the fix by updating.

The requirement ships with a default implementation parsing the string value, so existing conformers keep compiling unchanged. That default is itself corrected: true/1/yes and false/0/no case-insensitively, everything else nil.

Why it was never caught

MockConfigValueReader modelled a bare flag as an empty string, which the old code read as presence. The real provider returns nil there — so the double disagreed with production exactly where the bug lived.

The mock now carries a native bools dictionary (modelling a reader like ConfigReader), and a new StringOnlyConfigValueReader exercises the string-parsing default, so both reader shapes are covered.

Blast radius

Any ConfigKey<Bool> resolved through read(_:). BushelCloud alone has ~14 (sync.dry-run, sync.force, export.pretty, …), so --bushel-sync-dry-run did not enable dry-run and --bushel-sync-dry-run false did.

Verification

63 tests pass; swift-format, SwiftLint and the header check are clean. The table above was reproduced end-to-end against a real ConfigReader both before and after.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added Boolean configuration value reading with support for common true/false formats.
    • Boolean values now handle surrounding whitespace and case differences.
    • Unrecognized or missing values return no result, allowing configured defaults and source priority to apply.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of valueless command-line flags and empty environment values during Boolean configuration resolution.

`resolvedBool` read every source through `string(forKey:)`, which cannot see a
valueless command-line flag: swift-configuration's CLI provider reports
`--verbose` only through `bool(forKey:)`, and returns nil from the string
accessor. The `if source == .commandLine { return true }` branch was therefore
unreachable for the very case its comment describes, and reachable only when a
value *had* been supplied — which it then discarded.

Measured against a real ConfigReader before the fix:

    --verbose          -> false   (should be true)
    --verbose false    -> true    (should be false)
    --verbose true     -> true
    FLAG=banana        -> false   (should be ignored)
    FLAG=on            -> false   (should be ignored)

The environment path was wrong too, and independently: the truthiness test was
`normalized == "true" || "1" || "yes"`, so every unrecognized non-empty value
collapsed to `false` rather than nil. A typo'd `FLAG=ture` silently *disabled* a
flag whose default was true, instead of falling through to that default.

Adds `bool(forKey:isSecret:fileID:line:) -> Bool?` as a fourth protocol
primitive alongside string/int/double, and reduces `resolvedBool` to the same
one-line delegation the other three already used. `ConfigReader.bool` has the
identical shape to `ConfigReader.string`, so it witnesses the requirement with
no change to the retroactive conformance.

The requirement ships with a default implementation that parses the string
value, so existing conformers keep compiling unchanged. That default is itself
corrected: `true`/`1`/`yes` and `false`/`0`/`no` are recognized case-insensitively
and everything else yields nil.

Why this was never caught: MockConfigValueReader modelled a bare flag as an
empty *string*, which the old code read as presence. The real provider returns
nil there, so the double disagreed with production precisely where the bug
lived. The mock now carries a native `bools` dictionary, and a new
StringOnlyConfigValueReader covers the string-parsing default, so both reader
shapes are exercised.

63 tests pass; swift-format, SwiftLint and the header check are clean.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds a boolean accessor to ConfigValueReading, parses common boolean strings, routes boolean resolution through the generic resolver, and adds dedicated tests and test readers.

Changes

Boolean configuration reading

Layer / File(s) Summary
Boolean contract and parser
Sources/ConfigKeyKit/ConfigValueReading.swift, Sources/ConfigKeyKit/ConfigValueReading+Bool.swift
ConfigValueReading now defines a boolean accessor. The default implementation trims whitespace and parses true/1/yes and false/0/no case-insensitively.
Boolean source resolution
Sources/ConfigKeyKit/ConfigValueReading.swift
resolvedBool now uses the generic resolved(key:) helper and the boolean accessor. SwiftLint directives were adjusted for optional booleans.
Boolean validation and test readers
Tests/ConfigKeyKitTests/ConfigValueReadingBoolTests.swift, Tests/ConfigKeyKitTests/MockConfigValueReader.swift, Tests/ConfigKeyKitTests/StringOnlyConfigValueReader.swift
Tests cover CLI values, environment values, invalid input, defaults, optional values, source priority, and empty values. Test readers support native boolean storage and default string parsing.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 90110

The change fixes incorrect command-line and environment boolean handling while preserving fallback behavior and adding tests. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains; only localized explicit-access lint cleanup is still recommended.

leogdion added a commit to brightdigit/MistKit that referenced this pull request Aug 31, 2026
ConfigKeyKit resolved booleans through `string(forKey:)`, which cannot see a
valueless command-line flag, and coerced unrecognized environment values to
false instead of ignoring them. Fixed in brightdigit/ConfigKeyKit#8; pin by
revision until a release carrying it is tagged.

Verified the pin coexists with the `from: "1.0.0-beta.2"` requirement the three
examples declare: SwiftPM resolves the revision for the whole graph, so once
they depend on MistKitConfiguration they inherit the fix without editing their
own ConfigKeyKit line.

Note the revision requirement is deliberately incompatible with
dependency-policy.yml, which rejects non-tagged dependencies on PRs to main —
that gate is what will force the swap to a tagged release before merge.

Swift SE-0409 InternalImportsByDefault @testable import explicit internal syntax

💡 Result:

SE-0409, titled "Access-level modifiers on import declarations," introduces the ability to specify access levels (such as public, internal, or package) on import declarations in Swift [1][2]. This allows developers to control the visibility of imported modules, preventing them from leaking into the public interface of a library if they are only needed for internal implementation details [2]. Key details regarding the proposal and the InternalImportsByDefault flag include: 1. Support for Access Modifiers: The proposal allows syntax such as internal import ModuleName or package import ModuleName. By default, without an explicit modifier, imports remain public to ensure backward compatibility with existing codebases [2]. 2. InternalImportsByDefault Flag: This feature flag was introduced to shift the default behavior of import statements from public to internal. The Swift Language Steering Group decided not to enable this by default in Swift 6.0 mode to avoid breaking existing projects [2]. Instead, it is available as an opt-in "upcoming feature" flag (-upcoming-feature InternalImportsByDefault) for users who wish to adopt this behavior early [1][2]. 3. Interaction with @testable: The @testable import attribute acts as a special modifier that effectively provides access to internal and package-level declarations from the imported module [3]. When used in conjunction with the new access-level modifiers, the access-level of the import acts as an upper bound on what is exposed, while @testable maintains its specific capability to grant broader visibility for testing purposes [3]. 4. Implementation Status: The proposal is implemented in the Swift compiler. While the core functionality of adding access modifiers to imports is fully available, the transition to internal as the default import level remains opt-in via the InternalImportsByDefault flag to allow for a more gradual migration for library authors [1][2][4]. Top results: [1][2][4][3]

site:github.com/swiftlang/swift-evolution 0409 access-level-on-imports "@testable" "internal import"

💡 Result:

The query refers to Swift Evolution Proposal SE-0409, titled Access-level modifiers on import declarations [1]. SE-0409 introduced the ability to apply access-level modifiers (such as internal, package, and public) directly to import statements [1]. This allows developers to control the visibility of imported modules, preventing them from leaking into the public API of the importing module [1][2]. Key details regarding the interaction between access-level imports and @testable imports include: 1. Purpose of SE-0409: By default, in earlier Swift versions, imports were public, meaning any module that imported your library would also implicitly have access to the modules you imported. SE-0409 allows you to specify internal import or package import to restrict this visibility [1]. 2. Relationship with @testable: The @testable import attribute is a distinct mechanism used specifically for testing [3][4]. While SE-0409 manages the visibility of dependencies for normal consumers of your module, @testable import is used to gain access to internal entities within a module for the purpose of unit testing [3][4]. They serve different purposes: SE-0409 controls what dependencies you export to others, while @testable import controls your own ability to access internal code from a module you are testing [1][3]. 3. Implementation Status: SE-0409 is implemented in Swift 6.0 [1]. It includes an upcoming feature flag, InternalImportsByDefault, which is intended to change the default visibility of imports to internal in future language modes [1]. In summary, 0409 refers to the formal mechanism to refine dependency visibility, whereas @testable remains the standard tool for exposing internal APIs to test suites [1][3].

Swift "@testable internal import" valid syntax

💡 Result:

The valid syntax for enabling access to internal entities in a module for testing purposes is @testable import ModuleName [1][2][3]. To use this syntax correctly, ensure the following requirements are met: 1. Enable Testability: The target module being imported must be compiled with the Enable Testability build setting set to Yes (which adds the -enable-testing flag) [2][3]. By default, this is enabled for test build configurations in Xcode [2]. 2. Access Level: The @testable attribute grants visibility to entities declared as internal or public [1][2][4]. It does not provide access to entities marked as private or fileprivate [1][4]. 3. Scope: The attribute is used in conjunction with the import statement at the top of your test file [2][3]. Note that @testable is not a modifier for the internal keyword itself; rather, it is an attribute applied to the import declaration to elevate the visibility of internal-level code within that specific import scope [1][2]. If you are working within a Swift Package, consider whether the package access level might serve as a modern alternative to @testable [5][6].
