Subject: [BUG] "Error: Cannot open database…" when loading config
Date: Sun, 3 Dec 2023 12:07:18 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <rby4lt56qdhbuvwct4xudr5jdd7ojwd6ymnghr4c3bem62sv2m@m3fsiz62hz4f> (raw)


[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 791 bytes --]

Since commit 1c10d91d ("Pass error message from GLib ini parser to CLI"),
when I run "notmuch config list", I get this error message at the start
of the output:

	Error: Cannot open database at /home/qyliss/state/notmuch/default: No such file or directory.

Presumably this is because my database is in a non-default location,
which it doesn't know until it's loaded the config.

This is especially problematic when using compose-mail in Emacs, because
then the error message ends up mangling the new message:

	From: "Error: Cannot open database at /home/qyliss/state/notmuch/default: No such file or directory.
	To:
	Subject:
	Fcc: Sent
	Alyssa Ross" <Error: Cannot open database at /home/qyliss/state/notmuch/default: No such file or directory.
