bug: []time.Duration not works

[ergoz]

Example struct

type MyStruct struct {
    BackoffPolicy []time.Duration `default:"...."`
}

Checked variants:

• default:"{[\"10s\",\"1m\"]}"
• default:"[\"10s\",\"1m\"]"
• default:"[10s,1m]"
• default:"\"10s\",\"1m\""
• default:"10s,1m"

all of them not works

An underlying type of time.Duration is int64.
Therefore, you need to specify integer values (in nanoseconds) such that:

type MyStruct struct {
    BackoffPolicy []time.Duration `default:"[10000000000,60000000000]"` // 10s, 1m
}

Here - https://github.com/creasty/defaults/blob/master/defaults.go#L86 code is trying to parse string and in test file i can find

Duration  time.Duration `default:"10s"`

https://github.com/creasty/defaults/blob/master/defaults_test.go#L48

What made me confused that in slice i need to change behavior)))

Ahhh...
Thanks, I'll fix that test code later!

@creasty using int64 to specify Duration is very ugly. string representation of duration is very useful in config file.

Sorry for the oversight!
Reading over the discussion again, I recognize that I missed the point.
I had a lapse in memory regarding supporting the string representation of Duration, leading to my assumption that it never worked.
