How to load an external transformer from a pyproject.toml ?

[jaudiger]

Hi,

I wanted to know how to properly load an external transformer by setting the transformer inside the pyproject.toml file?

This is my project file:

[tool.robotidy]
load-transformers = [".robotidy/examples_transformer.py"]

But when I tries to run robotics, I got the following error:

> robotidy file.robot

 Try 'robotidy -h' for help.

Please try "custom_transformers". It looks like after one of the configuration handling refactor I left two different names but config file parser only uses one. I need to fix it - do you want to create bug ticket for it?

Sure, I can transform this discussion into a dedicated issue. Thanks for the quick response ! Using "custom_transformers" works like a charm by the way, I'll use this field until it's updated.
