alacritty msg config "import=['/path/to/alacritty/toml']" does nothing

[FelixBrakel]

Setting an import path to switch alacritty theme at runtime using alacritty msg does not seem to import said file.

System

OS: Linux
Version: alacritty 0.13.2 (bb8ea18)
Linux: Wayland, Hyprland, Arch

Steps

1. add any config file (for example a theme) to the alacritty config folder ~/.config/alacritty
2. alacritty msg config "import=['~/.config/alacritty/additional_config.toml']"
3. Observe nothing changes
