every hermes CLI subcomand fails with "An error occurred during execution of[subcommand]"

[aaronpeikert]

My python version is:

python --version
Python 3.11.5

I installed hermes with:

pip install hermes and later with pip install git+https://github.com/hermes-hmc/hermes.git and pip install git+https://github.com/softwarepub/hermes.git

Only hermes -h gives something except the error message: "An error occurred during execution of[subcommand]".

Then I tried it with:

docker run --rm -it python:3.11.11-slim-bookworm bash
pip install hermes
hermes help

and again get:

An error occurred during execution of help.

Thank you for the report!

I agree that the error message on the command line is not very useful. Especially if users don't find the hermes.log file of which you added the contents to the description.

You can create a hermes.toml config file by running hermes init

As for how we should handle this: I think this is the same general problem as #238
