"config.yml was not found" error #32

Closed wifiuk closed 2 years ago

wifiuk commented 4 years ago

what am I missing here?

Downloaded the latest binary.

tillson commented 4 years ago

A few people have reported this issue... I'm unable to reproduce it as a bug currently.

Does supplying the full config path with--config-file fix it? If not, what operating system are you on? I'll run a VM to see if that lets me replicate.

wifiuk commented 4 years ago

Happens on Linux and windows

wifiuk commented 4 years ago

Adding the path doesn't help either

GeneralEG commented 4 years ago

Got it.. You must put login and password between quotes "" in the config.yml!

not working same error

elxandre commented 3 years ago

@tillson Same error. You previously mentioned a YT video. Could you kindly post it here for us noobs to follow?

Maybe we can simplify the process of loading the configuration file to only look it up at:

The current root directory of the Git-Hound cloned repository.
From the --config-file CLI flag.

If possible can anyone still facing this issue try the following diff in cmd/root.go and see if it solves the problem?

116,118c117,118
<   viper.SetConfigName("config")
<   viper.AddConfigPath("$HOME/.githound")
<   viper.AddConfigPath(".")
---
>   viper.SetConfigName("config.yml")
>   viper.AddConfigPath("./")

Note: Changes are made based on the latest stable release v1.3

SOLUTION I think this may be a case of a bad error message. @alexandrevvo seemed to figure out that the problem was that you need to put your username and password in quotation marks (see the updated https://github.com/tillson/git-hound/blob/master/config.example.yml). If anyone is still having this issue even after doing quotation marks, I'd be interested to hear about it!
