Cannot Define config.ini Path

[Brettem]

Describe the bug:
I am unable to get octoprint-cli to recognize it's own config file. I created a new directory on my local device and created a config.ini file within it using the template provided. However, no matter how I try to call the -c command I cannot define the config path so no other function will run.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

pip install octoprint-cli

octoprint-cli -c .\config.ini
>>>Invalid or Missing Arguments

octoprint-cli -c ".\config.ini"
>>>Invalid or Missing Arguments

octoprint-cli -c=.\config.ini
>>>usage: octoprint-cli [-h] [-c CONFIG_PATH] [-v]
                     {version,continuous,layers,gcode,print,connection,temp,system,files}
                     ...
>>>octoprint-cli: error: invalid choice: '.\\config.ini' (choose from 'version', 'continuous', 'layers', 'gcode', 'print', 'connection', 'temp', 'system', 'file
s')

octoprint-cli version
>>>Configuration file is not complete or does not exist

No matter what I try I am unable to get the app to recognize the config file I created. It appears that the octoprint-cli doesn't like my argument format but I'm not sure how else to configure it if I am just trying to define the path to the config file required for all positional arguments.

Expected behavior:
After cd into directory where created config file is located, run >octoprint-cli -c ".\config.ini" and config path is redefined.

Environment Information:

OS: [e.g. iOS] both OctoPi and Windows 11
Version 3.3.2 (cuurent)
Python Version: 3,8,8
Dependency versions
OctoPrint version: current
3D Printer Model: Prusa i3 Mk3S+

can you try octoprint-cli -c config.ini

[Brettem]

Wow thank you for the quick response.
When I run octoprint-cli -c config.ini It still just gives me Invalid or Missing Arguments

Will probably have to investigate further on a Windows system, I'm not seeing this issue on Linux at the moment

I did a bit of digging into the _main_.py file for octoprint-cli and found that the specific line which is calling Configuration file is not complete or does not exist when I run a command like octoprint-cli version is from line 858 and further the result of if loadConfig(os.path.join(sys.path[0], 'config.ini')) failing.

So when I looked into what was being fed into loadConfig I found that os.path.join(sys.path[0], 'config.ini') is being interpreted as C:\Users\[MY_USER]\anaconda3\Scripts\octoprint-cli.exe\config.ini is this the intended path for default config?

[Brettem]

I decided to try and move the config file into the octoprint_cli package directory and I was also able to confirm that when I run octoprint-cli -c C:\Users\[MY_USER]\anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\octoprint_cli\config.ini octoprint_cli does recognize options.config_path as C:\Users\brett\anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\octoprint_cli\config.ini but still calls Invalid or Missing Arguments so if I am interpreting this correctly this may be an issue with the parser instead of the path argument itself.

It appears that the error being called that results in the Invalid or Missing Arguments statement is AttributeError: 'Namespace' object has no attribute 'func' because of options.func(options)
