.chezmoi.config.destDir is not a string

[ErrrorMaxx]

Describe the bug

I think this is a odd, but I can't directly do string operations on .chezmoi.config.destDir. While it looks like a string, it is not allowed in string functions.

I currently use cat .chezmoi.config.destDir as a workaround

To reproduce

$ chezmoi execute-template '{{ .chezmoi.config.destDir | replace "abc" "def" }}'

Expected behavior

No error should happen

Output of command with the --verbose flag

$ chezmoi --verbose execute-template '{{ .chezmoi.config.destDir | replace "abc" "def" }}'
chezmoi: template: arg1:1:43: executing "arg1" at <"def">: wrong type for value; expected string; got chezmoi.AbsPath

Thanks for reporting this. The underlying problem is that replace is a template function from github.com/masterminds/sprig and pretty much all the functions in masterminds/sprig are inflexible and broken. See #2668 for work on a replacement.

#3609 adds a hacky work-around.
