config load error

[arossmann]

when I run the python script, I get this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/miflora-mqtt-daemon/miflora-mqtt-daemon.py", line 126, in reporting_mode = config['General'].get('reporting_method', 'mqtt-json') File "/usr/lib/python3.5/configparser.py", line 956, in getitem raise KeyError(key) KeyError: 'General'

What am I doing wrong?

my config is this:

# Configuration file for Xiaomi Mi Flora Plant Sensor MQTT Client/Daemon
# Source: https://github.com/ThomDietrich/miflora-mqtt-daemon
#
# Uncomment and adapt all settings as needed.
[General]
reporting_method = mqtt-json

Happy for you you fixed the issue. I think it's worth catching the error. Would you like to propose a PR?

As I ran in the same situation (but was aware of the missing config g), a suitable error message would be better. I'll create one
