--display-config doesn't display the config

Hi! After many months of successfully using 2.4.x releases, I'm finally moving to 2.5.x. I have read many times that it is a significant upgrade and that documentation must be carefully read to understand the new functionality and features. But I'm failing at the more basic operations! Using two AlmaLinux 8.1 servers as test units, I'm not able to configuring the client to use multiple OneDrive accounts / configurations.

After installing OneDrive Client for Linux from source, I'm stuck at point 4. Here is what I get:

[rjr@e220i058h028l ~]$ onedrive --version

[rjr@e220i058h028l ~]$ onedrive --confdir="~/.config/onedrive_personal_gmail" -vvv

After hitting enter, I will be back at the prompt.

If I skip step 4 and go for 5, I get:

Could you help me with this issues? Thanks!

You most likely have an access or permission issue in trying to read the configuration file - or maybe a on-disk corruption issue.

I have just run this through here, and there are zero issues:

Thanks, @abraunegg,

You most likely have an access or permission issue

You were right: I had a permission issue I don't understand well yet. I think I failed at providing rights to the user running the process through a group. Granting permissions to the concerned user, works like a charm.

Thank you very much!

[abraunegg]

Can you recreate the issue and advise what the offending permissions / setup was ?

[rrodrigueznt]

Can you recreate

Not yet. I will keep trying and report back.

[rrodrigueznt]

I have to conclude that it was my error, assigning the user running OneDrive to the group with the corrects rights on the log and storage folders. After reviewing the process, it is working fine now. Sorry for the noise, and thanks for your time.
