Does it work without the config?

$ rm .config/lazygit/config.yml
$ lazygit
2022/06/13 19:46:23 stat ~/.config/lazygit/config.yml: no such file or directory
$ vim ~/.config/lazygit/config.yml
$ lazygit

I cannot reproduce it in the fedora:latest docker image, neither v0.34 nor master.

Could you try building master to see if it helps?

I think the default path for go install is $HOME/go/bin, could you try running go build && ./lazygit ?

I've also Fedora 36 (upgraded from Fedora 35) and lazygit 0.34 works for me. Even if I remove the config files or the whole config directory, it still works.

Maybe permission to the directory/files?

could you try running go build && ./lazygit ?

Have you tried this in the meantime?

Benny Powers · Answer 9 · Tue Jun 21 2022 23:32:05 GMT+0800 (中国标准时间)

Big oof 🙈

$ go build && ./lazygit
2022/06/21 18:29:30 stat ~/.config/lazygit/config.yml: no such file or directory

I also tried this just in case, but it made no difference:

$ sudo mkdir -p /root/.config/lazygit/
$ sudo cp ~/.config/lazygit/config.yml /root/.config/lazygit/config.yml

I am on Fedora 36 Silverblue and everything works fine with the binary from the Github releases page. Can you please try to uninstall lazygit from copr and put the binary from the releases page in ~/bin?

Benny Powers · Answer 11 · Fri Jun 24 2022 14:01:20 GMT+0800 (中国标准时间)

$ sudo dnf remove lazygit
...
$ cp Downloads/lazygit_0.34_Linux_x86_64/lazygit bin/
$ lazygit
2022/06/24 08:59:58 stat ~/.config/lazygit/config.yml: no such file or directory

Mo8it · Answer 12 · Fri Jun 24 2022 21:35:04 GMT+0800 (中国标准时间)

I can kind of reproduce your error this way:

$ LG_CONFIG_FILE="~/.config/lazygit/config.yml" lazygit
2022/06/24 15:26:55 stat ~/.config/lazygit/config.yml: no such file or directory

It seems like lazygit does not expand "~" to home.

Do you set this varialbe anywhere?

@bennypowers Please post the output of the following commands:

echo $CONFIG_DIR
echo $LG_CONFIG_FILE
CONFIG_DIR="$HOME/.config/lazygit" lazygit
LG_CONFIG_FILE="$HOME/.config/lazygit/config.yml" lazygit

For reference:
I did try to debug by reading this file: https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/blob/master/pkg/config/app_config.go
That is how I found about the environment variables.
Here is the related documentation: https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/blob/master/docs/Config.md#overriding-default-config-file-location

We have a winner!

I had this in my fish shell config:

set -gx LG_CONFIG_FILE "~/.config/lazygit/config.yml"

Removing the double-quotes solved it.

Thanks

Happy to know that it worked ^^

The problem with not expanding ~ should be addressed. I made a PR: #2015

I ran into this issue on my M1 Mac as well and this did the trick! Many thanks!
