panic when running in termux about cointop

[miguelmota]

@githorray does the same panic happen if you run cointop --no-cache?

[githorray]

No, cointop starts normally with that option.

Thanks for checking. I think it's because termux has a non-standard directory hierarchy: https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Differences_from_Linux

Will implement a fix later this week.

[githorray]

Great.

I also tried cointop --cache-dir ~/.tmp. It sort of works, but cointop does not expand out the ~ to the current home directory and you end up getting a folder named ~. with the cache contents in the directory cointop was started from.

Interesting, does termux have the HOME env var set? you can check with echo $HOME

[githorray]

$ echo $HOME
/data/data/com.termux/files/home

@githorray changes made:

• soft fail (don't panic) if there is cache dir error. Proceed without cache.
• store cache dir preference in config file. Preference set with --cache-dir flag will write it to config.
• You can also edit config directly to add or modify preference:

  cache_dir = "/tmp"

I tried it out on termux with the following:

pkg install git -y
pkg install golang -y
go get github.com/miguelmota/cointop
cd ~/go/src/github.com/miguelmota/cointop
go run cmd/cointop/cointop.go

[githorray]

working great. thanks.
