Failed to send notification using default

[SteveEdson]

$ ntfy send 'test'

ERROR: Failed to send notification using default
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ntfy/__init__.py", line 48, in notify
    **backend_config)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ntfy/backends/default.py", line 22, in notify
    raise DefaultNotifierError(e, module)
DefaultNotifierError

However using ntfy -b pushover -o user_key xxx send 'Pushover test!' works fine

My config looks like

$ cat ~/.config/ntfy/ntfy.yml

---
backends:
    - pushover
pushover:
    user_key: xxx

Mac OS X 10.11.6 Beta

Oh, using verbose debug output I get this:

INFO: /Users/Steve/Library/Application Support/ntfy/ntfy.yml not found

Any reason this would be looking here? And it seems like that issue should be more prominent, maybe part of the exception message?

1. That INFO message is right, you can use that location(on MaOS) or ~/.ntfy.yml. The ~/.config location is used on linux. I'll update the README to use the more platform-agnostic ~/.ntfy.yml.
2. Since it isn't finding the config, it's trying to send a desktop notification which per did it support mac? #87 the current version doesn't work unless you pip install pyobjc.

Updating the readme would be great thanks.

Also need to fix this section: https://github.com/dschep/ntfy/blob/master/README.rst#configuring-ntfy

Really confused me until I found this issue.

Thanks for letting me know @korvus81. I've updated the docs so it should be clearer now 👍
