`~` is not expanded for files

[Fabian Winter]

I have ~/.config/rofimoji.rc:

files = [emojis, nerd_font, arrows, ~/.local/share/rofimoji/latipun.csv]
skin-tone = neutral

It works on v5.6.0, but has this error on v6.0.0:

❯ rofimoji
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/rofimoji", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())

    raise FileNotFoundError(f"Couldn't find file {file_name!r}")
FileNotFoundError: Couldn't find file '~/.local/share/rofimoji/latipun.csv'

but, if I run directly using command line, it works.

❯ rofimoji --files emojis nerd_font arrows ~/.local/share/rofimoji/latipun.csv
# works here

EDIT:
with this config, error occurred when running from terminal:

files = [emojis, nerd_font, arrows, .local/share/rofimoji/*.csv]
skin-tone = neutral

error:

The problem is that ~ is not expanded. I'm not even sure if that was done on purpose in the previous versions 😉

I've pushed a possible fix to main, so could you please try that?

Nice, it works 👍 glob also works.

files = [emojis, nerd_font, arrows, ~/.local/share/rofimoji/*.csv]

Perfect, thanks 🙂
