Rust Version

rustc 1.62.0 (a8314ef7d 2022-06-27)

Minimal reproducible code

• main.rs:

use clap::{App, Command, load_yaml};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), reqwest::Error> {
    
    let yaml = load_yaml!("args.yaml");
    let matches = App::from(yaml).get_matches();
}

• args.yaml:

name: "tool"
version: "0.1"
about: "description"
author: "m00am"

subcommands:
  - subcommand1:
      args:
        - path:
            index: 1
            required: true
            default_value: "/tmp/"
            help: "Dummy Path"
  - subcommand2:
      args:
         - other_path:
             index: 1
             required: true
             help: "A second dummy path"

Steps to reproduce the bug with the above code

rustdoc might not be showing it on From impls but you need the yaml feature.

.
Which documentation? We've stripped almost all of it out because of #3087. See https://github.com/aobatact/clap-serde for a possible replacement.

Considering this feature is deprecated and will soon be removed, I'm going to close this as we are not going to be improving the documentation around this.
