Config key `:` characters are converted to `=`

Question

Config key `:` characters are converted to `=`

I have this kibbe config:

[kibana.params]
uiSettings.overrides.theme:darkMode=true

When I start Kibana using kibbe kibana, the colon gets converted to an equals sign:

Will run kibana search as: node scripts/kibana --dev --uiSettings.overrides.theme=darkMode=true

I tried escaping it with a \ but that didn't work.

It feels like a bug to me, as it's not mentioned in the example config file.

Seems like this is due to configparser behavior which this tool includes as a dependency. Apparently it uses both : and = as delimiters but this behavior can be changed: https://stackoverflow.com/a/43978767
