No response

Actually the file is created if using sudo cosma config. This is a bit strange since I have write credential for the directory cosma-test

@mcaruel Could you try updating to 2.0.0 and tell us if the problem persists?

[mcaruel]

I was already on 2.0.0. I solved the problem by changing the permission setting of my directory. I already had "read and write" permission but I somehow had to apply this permission to enclosed items of the directory. Note that everything was OK when executing cosma config with sudo. Maybe the problem cam from my permissions. Now it works !

Great!
