To reproduce:
1) install grip
$ pip install grip
2) add grip to the path
$ nano ~/.bash_profile
$ cat ~/.bash_profile
export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin
$ source ~/.bash_profile
3) clone the pulseview repository
$ git clone git://sigrok.org/pulseview
$ cd pulseview/
$ ls -l README
-rw-r--r-- 1 cedric cedric 3074 May 16 08:00 README
4) Run grip. Now it does not find the README
$ grip
Error: No README found at .
5) Run grip, but this time specify the README file
$ grip README
Serving Flask app 'grip.app'
Debug mode: off
WARNING: This is a development server. Do not use it in a production deployment. Use a production WSGI server instead.
Actual result:
At step 4: grip does not find README
Expected result:
At step 4: grip should have found README, or the error message should clarify what file grip is trying to open.
Strace reveals grip is trying to find README.md and README.markdown, but it does not try to find README, so it can't find it. Therefore the error message is confusing:
$ strace grip 2>&1 | grep "(No such file or directory)"
