ERROR histdb_rs > can not open log file

[tmpm697]

steps:

1. create an vm image with user's histdb-rs.service enabled, and touched ~/.local/share/histdb-rs/test.csv
2. spawn an vm from above image, ssh to the user and then trigger histdb-rs command immediately
3. observe the error

so if there's no entry in csv file, histdb-rs will echo this error, I believe it should not :)

Can you post the error?

I tried to reproduce the error in #27 but that doesn't throw any error. Can you post the exact error message you get? @tmpm697

the title is the error afair.
to have more clear, I built qcow2 image using packer and histdb-rs was put into ~/.config/systemd/user/histdb-rs.service and then issue command cd /home/USER/.config/systemd/user/default.target.wants; ln -s /home/USER/.config/systemd/user/histdb-rs.service histdb-rs.service

basically it will enable histdb-rs under user, the hostname is test so i touched ~/.local/share/histdb-rs/test.csv in packer image.

and I spin up image to an vm using libvirt / qemu tools, the first time I ssh to vm, and then try to use histdb-rs, the error echoed.

sorry but i don't remember exactly this case anymore as i'll need more time to re-test.

You shoudn't have to touch the file hstdb will create the index folder/file automatically. Touching the file would also mean that the file doesn't contain any csv header as add_entry will check if the file exists and add a header if the file is new.

There should have been more information in the error message like "permission denied" or something.
