Unable to find credential file in custom config directory about secrethub-cli

Oh, super interesting. I was able to fix this issue myself.

tl;dr: I think the root cause of this issue was that I installed secrethub-cli through snap. To fix this issue, I just installed it by downloading the right binary from the latest releases on https://github.com/secrethub/secrethub-cli/releases

For anyone else that stumbles upon this issue in the future, I realized another related, very strange issue when using the secrethub binary: it wouldn't read local files. For example,

# secrethub inject --in-file secrets.yaml
could not read input file: no such file or directory

# cat secrets.yaml
PASSWORD={{ example/secret }}

So I reversed why I decided to install it via snap, and realized that the instructions failed with this error message:

N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-arm64/Packages' as repository 'https://apt.secrethub.io stable InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'arm64'

Huh. How interesting. (FWIW, I'm on a raspberry PI 4, with Ubuntu 20.04)

So, I decided to just download the binaries from the releases, and everything started working! Who would have thought it would be a hardware issue?

Ah, that makes sense! We dropped support for Snap in February and delisted SecretHub from the Snap store, exactly because of these types of issues (related to the very restrictive sandbox model that Snap imposes).

On Ubuntu, apt would indeed be the most logical option to install the CLI, but you're right in that it doesn't offer arm binaries at the moment, so getting the binary from the releases is probably the best option for now. You could also try Homebrew for Linux: brew install secrethub/tools/secrethub-cli. Should support arm64 too.
