.env-cmdrc syntax error but prompts 'Error: Failed to find .rc file at default paths' #354

    This confused me because I thought env-cmd couldn't find my configuration file, since that was the only error I saw. It turned out it was an error in my configuration code causing the issue. I'd definitely suggest outputting any errors to the console.

for example, you place some invalid content in .env-cmdrc like this:

{"base":{"num": 20 * 3 * 40}}

and you run env-cmd -e base echo bla, it says Error: Failed to find .rc file at default paths: [./.env-cmdrc,./.env-cmdrc.js,./.env-cmdrc.json], but in fact the file exists, its content is just invalid
