Description:

Consider the following file structure:

.
├── generated
├── replay.json
└── template
    ├── cookiecutter.json
    └── {{ cookiecutter.project_name }}
        └── generated.txt

template/cookiecutter.json

{
  "project_name": "default_name",
  "greeting": "Hello, World!"
}

template/{{ cookiecutter.project_name }}/generated.txt

{{ cookiecutter.greeting }}

This is an example of a file generated with Cookiecutter.

replay.json

{
  "cookiecutter": {
    "project_name": "a_different_project_name",
    "greeting": "¡Hola, Mundo!"
  }
}

What I've run:

The following command works as expected and I get the generated project with my answers replacing the default values:

cookiecutter template -o ./generated

However, attempting to use the replay file referenced above, results in generating a project with the default values instead of the ones in the replay file:

cookiecutter --replay-file replay.json template -o generated

Results in

Hello, World!

This an example of a file generated with Cookiecutter.

Am I doing something wrong? Also, this seemed to work fine in version 2.2.2.
