[MacOS | homebrew | 0.8.6] Error after update from 0.8.5: TOML parse error missing field `is_font`

[dangnhdev]

Terminal output:

fselect
TOML parse error at line 1, column 1
  |
1 | no_color = false
  | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
missing field `is_font`

Tried to find config.toml at ~/.config/fselect as in the doc but the folder doesn't exist.
May I ask where is the location of config.toml on Mac (installed via homebrew)?
Update: There is argument for setting config file location as well but I can't find any example .toml file in this project to copy from 😔

The fselect command still show result and in the mean time I just cut first 6 lines from its stderr to temporary use it:

fselect path, is_dir where "(name != '*.md' and is_dir = false) or (is_dir and name = '.*')" order by is_dir 2>&1 | tail -n +6

Environment: Mac OS X 12.7.5, fselect 0.8.6 installed via MacPorts

I was seeing the same error message.

The fselect config.toml file is found at ~/Library/Application\ Support/jhspetersson.fselect/config.toml.

The last line in that file was

is_fond = [".eot", ".fon", ".otc", ".otf", ".ttc", ".ttf", ".woff", ".woff2"]

with no newline at the end of the file.

I changed "is_fond" to "is_font" and added a newline and the error has gone away.

I don't know where this file comes from. It doesn't appear to be provided by the MacPorts fselect package.

I can confirm that adding the is_font definition to ~/Library/Application\ Support/jhspetersson.fselect/config.toml - which was entirely missing in my macOS brew installation - was successful in eliminating the TOML parse error issue for me.

Thanks for the feedback! With 0.8.7 release config parsing has been improved not to fail on missing parameters (in case of upgrade or something).
