Bug: Unable to launch starcli on a new machine - cache file missing

[dzmitry-kankalovich]

I went to install starcli on my personal MBP and ran into following problem:

starcli
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/homebrew/bin/starcli", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(cli())
  File "/opt/homebrew/lib/python3.10/site-packages/click/core.py", line 1130, in __call__
    return self.main(*args, **kwargs)

    with open(CACHED_RESULT_PATH, "a+") as f:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/dkankalovich/.cache/starcli.json'

It seems like some regression happened in latest versions and now starcli expects that cache file to be present.

Python version

3.10

your operating system (and terminal type or shell of needed)

macOS 13.1 (22C65)

starcli version

starcli==2.17.1

reproduce

Delete ~/.cache dir and run starcli.

workaround

Create an empty json file:

mkdir -p /Users/dkankalovich/.cache && echo "{}" > /Users/dkankalovich/.cache/starcli.json

The culprit is in __main__.py at line 201:

            with open(CACHED_RESULT_PATH, "a+") as f:

This will fail if ~/.cache directory doesn't exist.
