git journal complains a configuration file is missing at startup #91

Open Riduidel opened 5 years ago

Riduidel commented 5 years ago

When I use git journal on my windows box, I always have the following message displayed as first command

$ git journal                                                                                                     
Can't load configuration file, using default one: Le fichier spécifié est introuvable. (os error 2)

Is it because I have no cli.yaml file in my home dir ? (looking at the code, you seem to load that file at startup)

Well, no, cli.yaml is the clap configuration file stored in the crate, so it is another file ...

Ah ok, I've found the error line there https://github.com/saschagrunert/git-journal/blob/13986cbaec041e3827c4ca21866bdc00807595f8/src/lib.rs#L114

Ah ok (again). When config.load(....) is called, it looks for a .gitjournal.toml in current directory or parents.

Do you think it would be possible to change the error message for something more "noob-friendly" like "Unable to load .gitjournal.toml from current directory or parents. Take a look at sample .gitjournal.toml in documentation" ?
