: Verifying if the GRIN-Wallet handles missing grin-wallet.toml file

Prerequisites
: Setup a GRIN-Wallet. Verify the wallet is working by running info command. Then delete the grin-wallet.toml file and start the wallet again.

Expected result:
 GRIN-Wallet should either re-create the config toml file or at indicate that its missing.

Step 1: The grin wallet has been set-up as shown below:

Command 'info' completed successfully. 

Step 2: Checking the list of files on /.grin/main

Chandrashekars-MacBook-Air:Users chandrashekar$ cd ~/.grin
Chandrashekars-MacBook-Air:.grin chandrashekar$ ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  14 chandrashekar  staff  448 Dec 18 17:49 main
Chandrashekars-MacBook-Air:.grin chandrashekar$ cd main
Chandrashekars-MacBook-Air:main chandrashekar$ ls -l
total 8248
drwxr-xr-x  7 chandrashekar  staff      224 Dec 17 19:25 chain_data
-rw-r--r--  1 chandrashekar  staff  3520032 Dec 19 15:57 grin-server.log
-rw-r--r--  1 chandrashekar  staff     8122 Dec 17 18:22 grin-server.toml
-rw-r--r--  1 chandrashekar  staff     8752 Dec 19 15:46 grin-wallet.log
-rw-r--r--  1 chandrashekar  staff     2892 Dec 18 16:20 grin-wallet.toml
drwxr-xr-x  3 chandrashekar  staff       96 Dec 18 17:49 slatepack
drwxr-xr-x  2 chandrashekar  staff       64 Dec 17 19:25 tmp
drwxr-xr-x  3 chandrashekar  staff       96 Dec 18 17:49 tor
drwxr-xr-x  5 chandrashekar  staff      160 Dec 18 16:20 wallet_data 

Step 3: The grin-wallet.toml has been deleted from /.grin/main and the output now looks as follows:

Chandrashekars-MacBook-Air:main chandrashekar$ ls -l total 8240
drwxr-xr-x  7 chandrashekar  staff      224 Dec 17 19:25 chain_data
-rw-r--r--  1 chandrashekar  staff  3520181 Dec 19 16:07 grin-server.log
-rw-r--r--  1 chandrashekar  staff     8122 Dec 17 18:22 grin-server.toml
-rw-r--r--  1 chandrashekar  staff     9951 Dec 19 16:06 grin-wallet.log
drwxr-xr-x  3 chandrashekar  staff       96 Dec 18 17:49 slatepack
drwxr-xr-x  2 chandrashekar  staff       64 Dec 17 19:25 tmp
drwxr-xr-x  3 chandrashekar  staff       96 Dec 18 17:49 tor
drwxr-xr-x  5 chandrashekar  staff      160 Dec 18 16:20 wallet_data

Step 4: Now the wallet is started fresh using the ./grin-wallet info command and the output is as follows:

Password: 
20201219 16:13:55.537 WARN grin_wallet_libwallet::api_impl::owner_updater - Scanning - 0% complete

____ Wallet Summary Info - Account 'default' as of height 1008926 ____

 Confirmed Total                  | 5.000000000 
 Awaiting Confirmation (< 10)     | 0.000000000 
 Awaiting Finalization            | 0.000000000 
 Locked by previous transaction   | 0.000000000 
 -------------------------------- | ------------- 
 Currently Spendable              | 5.000000000 

Step 5: I run the ls -l command to check the list of files after running the ./grin-wallet info command and the output is

Chandrashekars-MacBook-Air:~ chandrashekar$ cd ~/.grin
Chandrashekars-MacBook-Air:.grin chandrashekar$ ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  14 chandrashekar  staff  448 Dec 19 16:23 main
Chandrashekars-MacBook-Air:.grin chandrashekar$ cd main
Chandrashekars-MacBook-Air:main chandrashekar$ ls -l
total 8248
drwxr-xr-x  7 chandrashekar  staff      224 Dec 17 19:25 chain_data
-rw-r--r--  1 chandrashekar  staff  3520480 Dec 19 16:27 grin-server.log
-rw-r--r--  1 chandrashekar  staff     8122 Dec 17 18:22 grin-server.toml
-rw-r--r--  1 chandrashekar  staff    12090 Dec 19 16:24 grin-wallet.log
-rw-r--r--  1 chandrashekar  staff     2892 Dec 19 16:23 grin-wallet.toml
drwxr-xr-x  3 chandrashekar  staff       96 Dec 18 17:49 slatepack
drwxr-xr-x  2 chandrashekar  staff       64 Dec 17 19:25 tmp
drwxr-xr-x  3 chandrashekar  staff       96 Dec 18 17:49 tor
drwxr-xr-x  5 chandrashekar  staff      160 Dec 18 16:20 wallet_data

So the grin-wallet.toml has reappeared and from the timestamp we can see that it is recent.

The previous time stamp was

-rw-r--r-- 1 chandrashekar staff 8122 Dec 17 18:22 grin-server.toml

The current time stamp is

-rw-r--r-- 1 chandrashekar staff 2892 Dec 19 16:23 grin-wallet.toml

So the ./grin-wallet info creates the new grin-wallet.toml file as expected.
