"--fpm-options-file" fails with "undefined method `extract_value' for nil:NilClass"

Hi *

I want to create a .deb package out of a bin file.
To achieve that I created a custom options file called fpmdeb (I also tested without newlines):

--maintainer "Me Myself <[email protected]>"
--architecture all

-s dir
-t deb

--name blabla-github-yq
--license mit
--description "yq is a portable command-line YAML, JSON, XML, CSV, TOML and properties processor"
--url "https://github.com/mikefarah/yq"

yq_linux_amd64=/usr/bin/yq

And run fpm as follows:

fpm --version 4.43.1 --fpm-options-file fpmdeb

Unfortunately I end up getting this error:

        from /usr/local/bin/fpm:25:in `<main>'

But if I rename fpmdeb to .fpm and run fpm as follows:

fpm --version 4.43.1

then everything works as expected and I get the desired .deb package.

However, with this config file fpmdeb:

--maintainer "Me Myself <[email protected]>"
--architecture all

-s dir
-t deb

--name blabla-github-yq
--license mit
--description "yq is a portable command-line YAML, JSON, XML, CSV, TOML and properties processor"
--url "https://github.com/mikefarah/yq"

And running fpm this way:

fpm --version 4.43.1 --fpm-options-file fpmdeb yq_linux_amd64=/usr/bin/yq

I am able to create a .deb package using --fpm-options-file !

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks :)

I have the same error when I try to use a fpm-options-file that is located in a subfolder.

Moving the options file to the project root folder solved the issue.
