Cosmic-ray==3.1.0 init doesn't work

[donato]

Using python 3.6 and cosmic-ray 3.1.0, the init doesn't do anything. Verbose is also silent

cosmic-ray init config.yml my_session                                                                                                                                                     

Uninstalling and using cosmic-ray v3.0.6 immediately works

Hmmm...there was a pretty big change in there, and it's possible we broke something.

Are you installing it from source, via pip, or what?

What's in config.yml?

When you say nothing happens, do you mean that my_session.json is not created?

[donato]

1. Installation method: pip 2. config.yml: doesn't exist, and no text outputs 3. my_session is not created either

The main issue is that CR isn't giving very good feedback. When a config doesn't exist, init silently fails (technically it sets the error code, but that's not visible).

I've created the improved-load-config-feedback branch that should improve the situation. Can you try it out and let me know if it fixes things for you?

[donato]

Manually creating the config file does allow it to successfully create a session.json. Maybe this can be fixed with a simple tweak to the docs? They describe a q/a which builds out the config file. Thanks for your response, happy holidays!

Ah, you're right! Sorry about that. I'll update the docs as well.

[abingham]

@donato I've create a branch with some documentation improvements. Can you have a look at it and let me know if it seems both correct and sufficient to you? It's good for us to get fresh eyes like yours on the docs.

Thanks for working with us on this, and God Jul from Norway!
