I'm trying to use vmt pick ~/drafts to pick a single email from the maildir in $HOME/drafts (currently I run ag through these and honestly vmt pick would be a huge improvement).
However, it crashes right away indicating a missing configuration file:
13:31:33 [ERROR] Failed to load config file: error reading config file: No such file or directory (os error 2)
I tried creating an empty configuration file, but it still fails:
13:34:29 [ERROR] Failed to load config file: config error: no accounts found
At this point, I'm not sure what to do. I'm just trying to pick an email message form a given directory, there's no applicable host/username/password that makes sense for this operation.
I'm looking at how this works under the hood, and I think that the main issue is that main() tries to unconditionally read the configuration file, which makes it mandatory even in situations where it doesn't make sense. Perhaps lazy-reading the configuration when it is needed would help, but that sounds like a very non-trivial change.
Interesting. Yes, this is indeed currently an unsupported use case. As a workaround, you can create a config file with an empty account:
[accountname]The presence of an account is the only thing checked right now if you use a file system path.
For convenience, you could also do
[accountname] local = "~/drafts"and then you could simply run
vmt pick .for the same result.I'll change the title a bit to reflect that this is currently "intended" and consider this for future changes.
An empty account:
> cat ~/.config/vomit/config.toml [accountname]Doesn't seem to work either:
> vmt pick ~/drafts 10:17:29 [ERROR] failed to parse path '/home/hugo/drafts': path outside expected maildir: prefix not foundI'm not entirely sure what the error means; this directory contains
cur,newandtmp.
The config is optional in the m2dir based rewrite, to become version 1.0.0, currently in alpha
