Default values for param of type list not being overridden.
Hi,
When using a param of type list and adding default values in the definition of the param, when invoking the task with list values you specified in the command line, it does not create a new list, but appends to the default list.
doit.py
from doit import task_params
@task_params([{'name': 'some_list', 'type': list, 'default': ['item1', 'item2'], 'short': 'l'}])
def task_list_with_duplicates(some_list):
for l in some_list:
yield {
'name': f'name_of_list_{l}',
'actions': [f'echo "some action on list {l}"'],
'verbosity': 2
}Execution
> doit list_with_duplicates -l item1
ERROR: Task generation 'list_with_duplicates' has duplicated definition of 'list_with_duplicates:name_of_list_item1'Environment
