Previously if one had a list of strings, expressions such as {{ PREFIX }} or {{ ENV_NAME }} would not get expanded

  • Add a test

Description

I wanted to write a command that looks like {{ PREFIX }}/bin/my_app-{{ ENV_NAME }}

Checklist - did you ...

  • Add a file to the news directory (using the template) for the next release's release notes?
  • Add / update necessary tests?
  • Add / update outdated documentation?

tests/test_api.py is probably the best place for those tests.

Not stale - this is a helpful addition, it just needs some tests.

Add unit test for placeholder expansion in lists
7f29ef9 
<details><summary>Claude's draft</summary>

Add `test_render_expands_placeholders_in_lists` covering the new
`Menu.render` behavior: placeholders are now expanded element-wise in
lists and tuples of strings, while non-string items are returned
untouched and scalar strings behave as before.

Add news entry
d59e2aa 
<details><summary>Claude's draft</summary>

Add `news/333-render-lists` documenting the fix under "Bug fixes":
`Menu.render` now expands placeholders in lists and tuples of strings
instead of returning them unchanged.

Filed as a bug fix rather than an enhancement because `MenuItem.render`
already iterated lists element-wise; only the base `Menu.render` bailed
out early, so the two rendering entry points disagreed.

Stage my open menuinst PRs as patches on top of 2.5.2
c92b71d 
<details><summary>Claude's draft</summary>

Refresh this staging branch onto the current feedstock main (menuinst
2.5.2, rattler-build v1 recipe) and carry all four of my open
conda/menuinst pull requests as source patches:

- 333.patch — conda/menuinst#333
  Expand placeholders in lists of strings, not just scalars.
- 334.patch — conda/menuinst#334
  Allow name/command/StartupWMClass/TryExec to be specified per
  target_environment_is_base, and add the linux `run_in_bash` key.
  Rebased onto upstream main: `min_items` -> `min_length` for pydantic
  v2, `Optional[A, B]` -> `Optional[Union[A, B]]`, and SCHEMA_VERSION
  bumped to 1-1-4 with the generated schema/default JSON regenerated so
  `run_in_bash` has a default to resolve against.
- 535.patch — conda/menuinst#535
  Restore the missing f-string prefix on the Icon= desktop entry line.
- 536.patch — conda/menuinst#536
  Pass the opened file or URL to Linux shortcuts via an Exec field code.

334 and 536 both rewrite LinuxMenuItem._command; 536.patch carries the
merged form, which keeps the field-code "$@" trick for the bash-wrapped
case and appends the field code directly when run_in_bash is false.

Build number bumped by 100 and the build restricted to linux-64, since
this is a staging branch for my own channel.

Rebased onto the noarch-except-windows branch (conda-forge#67) so this staging
