Can't use config.yml file about oobabot HOT 5 CLOSED

Syntax is just
oobabot -c config.yml
Post error log

from oobabot.

Actually it's also not working
It trying to connect to default localhost:5005 but i already provided it with base_url in config.yml
In error it's just showing
Info oobaboga is at ws://localhost:5005
Error : couldn't find oobabbooga in 5005
Please check url

It's working fine when i direct use command --base_url wss://customelink
But if i put it in config.yml it's not working at all

Interesting. My first guess would be that the current directory when running Oobabot might be in a different place than you expect it to be.

Are you running on OSX, Linux, or a different platform?

The bot won't currently print out a message when it can't open a config file, so it can be hard to figure out what isn't working. One idea I had, just for debugging, would be to run it like this:
oobabot --bogus (readlink -f config.yml)
On OSX and Linux, that should then print out an error message with the full path to what would have been opened, e.g.::
oobabot: error: unrecognized arguments: --bogus /home/oobabot/config.yml
Then double check if the file is in that location.

Let me know if this helps!

Added a more helpful error message in 95cc194

Hopefully this will help in troubleshooting such problems.
