Latest release (1.4.0) not working if athenaclirc file not in path

[pdpark]

athenacli works with version 1.3.3, but I get this message when trying to run athenacli 1.4.0:

Required argument `s3_staging_dir` or `work_group` not found.

There was an error while connecting to AWS Athena. It could be caused due to
missing/incomplete configuration. Please verify the configuration in ~/.athenacli/athenaclirc
and run athenacli again.

Thanks for the feedback, taking a look

@pdpark sorry to ask for this. But I cannot reproduce the error on my side if have set s3_staging_dir either in athenaclirc or AWS_ATHENA_S3_STAGING_DIR env var.

Do you mind providing more info to reproduce this problem? how do you set the value for s3_staging_dir?

I found the issue and submitted PR #57 to fix it. A change in the 1.4.0 release requires that the athenaclirc file be in the PATH env var. This was not the case before - since the default location of the file is hard-coded in main.py file we know where to expect it: under the user's home dir.

Thanks @pdpark . I made a mistake when I was verifying it, my virtual env had the old version, but I thought it was the new version.

NP, thanks for the quick response!

I will create a new release tonight. Thank you so much for fixing it.

Fixed in release v1.4.1. I also did some minor changes. Feel free to reopen this if you the issue still exists.
