Config file not read about oobabot HOT 3 CLOSED

Interesting. I take it other settings are not being read from the config file either?

I've added 95cc194 which changes the behavior when config.yml can't be found. The new behavior is to print an error and exit immediately, printing out the full path to the file it was unable to load. Though since you're passing the full path anyway, I don't suspect that's the issue.

I'm curious what happens if you try pasting the .yml file into a validator like https://yamlchecker.com/.

Otherwise the only other thing I could suspect would be an issue running on Windows. What version of python are you using?

persona: blah blah This chat requires emoji's to be typed as text between colons, e.g. :happy_face:

that colon on the end killed it. Wrapped the whole thing in some "quote marks" and suddenly its a valid file.

Recommendation: Exactly what you already did, error message on failure to load!

Yay, glad it worked! Will treat this as done pending the release with the config file error message fix.
