Wrong error message when logging with a auth.yml that doesn't exist

[fisheyz]

Description

I was trying to log in using a auth.yml that didn't exist.

Behaviour

An error Invalid login credentials.

Expectation

An error related to the file not existing.

I can't reproduce, for me it creates the specified file when it doesn't exist. Same for the endpoint set command.

Are you sure you actually specified valid credentials for the default endpoint (since it will use the default endpoint, given that the specified file doesn't exist)?

[fisheyz]

I am sure the credentials are correct, I checked the default auth.yml to make sure the endpoint was the right one.

However when i specify the credentials using -e -p it works.

What happens when you don't have privileges over the auth.yml file path.

I really can't reproduce. Can you please repeat these steps and compare the output?

I'm going to need more details. What operating system are you using? What is the fyde-cli version? Did you compile it yourself, or are you using a pre-built binary? If it's a pre-built binary, what is its sha256? Thanks.

[fisheyz]

Following your steps I figured out what I was doing wrong. I thought that the default endpoint was the one set in the default auth file.

Thanks for the help and sorry for the confusion.

The --auth and --config flags specify the files that will override completely (not act as some sort of "overlay") over the respective user files (usually in ~/.config or the platform's equivalent). If a non-existent file is specified using those flags, fyde-cli will work as if it had to create the file from scratch and will use its internal defaults (in the case of the auth file, the endpoint defaults to enterprise.fyde.com).
