error Bad config: unknown field whitespace when using editor.whitespace in config.toml

[mandarvaze]

Summary

I get error Bad config: unknown field whitespace when I specify editor.whitespace.characters in config.toml

Reproduction Steps

I'm referring to this section of the documentation. Accordingly, I've added the following to my config.toml

mandar in ~/.config/helix took 1m2s
➜ cat config.toml
theme = "onedark"

[editor]
line-number = "relative"

[editor.whitespace]
render = "all"

[editor.whitespace.characters]
space = "·"
nbsp = "⍽"
tab = "→"
newline = "⏎"

But whenever I start helix I get the following error:

mandar in ~/.config/helix
➜ hx config.toml
Bad config: unknown field `whitespace`, expected one of `scrolloff`, `scroll-lines`, `mouse`, `shell`, `line-number`, `middle-click-paste`, `auto-pairs`, `auto-completion`, `idle-timeout`, `completion-trigger-len`, `auto-info`, `file-picker`, `cursor-shape`, `true-color`, `search`, `lsp` for key `editor` at line 9 column 1

I expected this to happen:

helix starts without error, and space, newline are rendered using the characters specified in the config.toml

Instead, this happened:

I get the error

Bad config: unknown field `whitespace`, expected one of `scrolloff`, `scroll-lines`, `mouse`, `shell`, `line-number`, `middle-click-paste`, `auto-pairs`, `auto-completion`, `idle-timeout`, `completion-trigger-len`, `auto-info`, `file-picker`, `cursor-shape`, `true-color`, `search`, `lsp` for key `editor` at line 9 column 1

Visible whitespace and its configuration #1802 was added after the 22.03 release and is in 22.05

@the-mikedavis Wow! That was quick.
I updated to 22.05, and now works as expected.
Sorry for the unnecessary noise 😢
