Give a slightly better error message when
anomac
oranomaw
commands are run, but a chain hasn't been joined. Before we would just getNo such file or directory (os error 2)
, now we should indicate that specifically we can't read a genesis config file.This PR also makes some changes such that we can propagate an error all the way back up to
main()
ofanomac
,anoman
,anomaw
, so that it will be easier in the future to propagate errors like this. (Relates to anoma/anoma#1049)To close anoma/namada#97, we should catch the error and translate it to a friendly message such as one indicating to the user to join a network first, rather than panicking with a backtrace.
