SNOW-1739867: snow --config-file... does not have any effect

[sfc-gh-oazarmanesh]

SnowCLI version

3.0.1

Python version

3.11.5

Platform

macOS-14.7-arm64-arm-64bit

What happened

I recently upgraded snowflake-cli and tried using it again. Previous version was version 1. My config file was here: ~/.snow/config.toml.

• If I try testing a connection, I get a message: FileExistsError: [Errno 17] File exists: '/Users/oazarmanesh/.snow/config.toml'.
• If I try snow --config-file="/Users/oazarmanesh/.snow/config.toml" I get this error:

An unexpected exception occurred. Use --debug option to see the traceback. Exception message:
[Errno 20] Not a directory: '/Users/oazarmanesh/.snow/config.toml/logs'

• trying this (which I know isn't valid), snow --config-file "/Users/oazarmanesh/.snow" results in this error:

╭─ Error 
│ Invalid value for '--config-file': File '/Users/oazarmanesh/.snow' is a directory.

I renamed the folder to .snowflake but it didn't have any effect.

In short, snowflake-cli seems to always be looking in ~/Library/... folder for the config and connections files. snow --config-file... does not have any effect.

Console output

No response

How to reproduce

My guess is this issue happens due to update from version 1 to 3.
