Can't find config in XDG_CONFIG_HOME in v0.11.2 about khal HOT 7 CLOSED

Shot in the dark :
Could it be you had an alias you forgot that could be interfering ?

I cannot reproduce this.

> echo $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
/home/hugo/.config  
> khal list
...
> khal configure
critical: Found an existing config file at ~/.config/khal/config.
critical: If you want to create a new configuration file, please remove the old one first. Exiting.

What is the output of file ~/.config/khal/config and ls -l ~/.config/khal/config?

As I've mentioned the config itself is working if I use the parameter with -c. But it doesn't find it via the default $XDG_CONFIG_HOME path. The change I did was from using a custom path config file to try to use the default $XDG_CONFIG_HOME path

ls -l ~/.config/khal/config
-rw-r--r-- 1 xxx xxx 429 Jan 11 11:05 /home/xxx/.config/khal/config

file ~/.config/khal/config
/home/xxx/.config/khal/config: ASCII text

cat /home/xxx/.config/khal/config

[calendars]

[[private]]
path = /mnt/xxx/khal/private
type = calendar

[[secondcalendar]]
path = /mnt/xxx/khal/secondcalendar
type = calendar

[locale]
timeformat = %H:%M
dateformat = %Y-%m-%d
longdateformat = %d %B %Y
datetimeformat = %d %B %Y %H:%M
longdatetimeformat = %d %B %Y %H:%M

[default]
default_calendar = private

I can't reproduce the issue, and looking through the code I don't see any hints as to what could be failing.

@Tonus1 That was a great shot in the dark!

I checked my aliases and in fact I configured it with the -c command with the old location of my config file. So the problem occured when I moved it from the custom location and put it into the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME path.
It's working now.

Thank you for the swift replies!
