Looks in wrong spot for import folder

[joshribakoff]

Import location defaults to var/import, and below that it says "No csv files found in /media/Data/mag_17/var/import"

FYI I'm running magento out of /home/josh/www/vehiclefits/magento and magmi is a subfolder inside of that. There is no mag_17 in any path anywhere on my system, confirmed this with recursive globbing on the command line.

This one is due to my local magmi.conf being in the code repo. i'll remove it asap.

Thanks. What you could do is create magmi.conf.dist as a "distributed" conf file with reasonable defaults. Then you create a .gitignore in the project root and list "magmi.conf" in it. This tells git to not commit magmi.conf if it exists. You then revise your code to check for magmi.conf, and if not found it checks for magmi.conf.dist.

In this way you provide a "default" conf file that is used, unless the developer copies it & overrides it with their own local settings (and their local file doesn't get committed because its listed in gitignore).

You can see this pattern used in a lot of software from phpmyadmin to phpunit
