Hi,

I've done some digging but couldn't find someone with the same issue as I have.

My Alacritty configuration is in /home/user/.config/alacritty directory. That directory is a symbolic link to a directory of a git repository /home/user/repos/dotfiles/alacritty. So the setup is the following:

/home/user/.config/alacritty -> /home/user/repos/dotfiles/alacritty

~> ls -l /home/user/repos/dotfiles/alacritty
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 148 Jun 10 12:08 alacritty.toml

When edition the configuration, Alacritty reports an error :

[ERROR] [alacritty_config_derive] Unable to load config "/home/user/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml": File not found

Yet the configuration is in fact taken into account. For example, if I change the font size, it is updated.

The contant of my configuration file:

[general]
live_config_reload = true

[font]
size = 20.0
normal =  { family = "Adwaita Mono", style = "normal" }

[terminal]
shell = "/usr/bin/fish"

I'm mainly trying to understand where the inconsistency between the behavior and the error message originates. What am I missing?

Note: some path have been altered as to not expose my user name.
