nimforum mirror - ``--threads:on`` in .nims does not work. (Reading Nim in Action)

I bought the Nim in Action, wonderful book by the way, and I've reached Chapter 3, which handles multithreading, where I encountered a problem with .nims.

In Nim, multithreading requires the --threads:on flag at compilation and indeed, nim c --threads:on src/client.nim went perfectly well. My problem is that I cannot make use of the nim config files (.nims) introduced on page 70.

In my understanding of the system, if I place a client.nims file with --threads:on, I can simple run nim c src/client.nim. However, this doesn't seem to work for me and raises Error: Threadpool requires --threads:on option. at compilation. I have confirmed that;

the .nims file is is the same directory as the client.nim,

the file compiles without any Error, Warning when I run it with nim c --threads:on src/client.nim,

there are no typing errors, and

switch("threads", "on") raises the same error.

Thank you in advance.
