Running outside of GOPATH fails

[nathankerr]

got:

$ buffalo version
2017/04/11 08:00:33 couldn't unmarshal config to yaml: yaml: unmarshal errors:
  line 1: cannot unmarshal !!str `diff --...` into map[string]*pop.ConnectionDetails

expected:

$ buffalo version
Buffalo version is: 0.8.1

[nathankerr]

Further investigation yields that buffalo is looking for a database.yml in parent directories and then fails with this unhelpful error message.

There is no failure when there is not a database.yml in the directory tree.

I can't reproduce. If I run buffalo version out side of my $GOPATH, like my home directory, I get Buffalo version is: 0.8.1.

Can you give me more information on how to reproduce?

[nathankerr]

$ cd $HOME
$ mkdir buffalo-test
$ cd buffalo-test
$ echo diff >> database.yml
$ mkdir other
$ cd other
$ buffalo version
2017/04/11 14:04:26 couldn't unmarshal config to yaml: yaml: unmarshal errors:
  line 1: cannot unmarshal !!str `diff` into map[string]*pop.ConnectionDetails
$ cd $HOME
$ buffalo version
Buffalo version is: 0.8.1
$

This came about because I working on creating an easy to update tutorial for buffalo and happened to name my diff file for database.yml as database.yml. Since a diff is not valid yaml it could not be parsed as yaml.

I only figured out the database.yml part after I created the issue.

Weird bug, but found, and fixed. Thanks.
