Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/312

Not so much a bug and more of a support request.
Trying to run for the first time with spotify_player authenticate, I get the error message :

Error: try to connect to a client

Caused by:
    No cached credentials found, please authenticate the application first.

I have no idea which folder this is scanning from, nor what cached credentials it is looking for. I've created an app with Spotify, and used the generated client ID in .config/spotify-player/app.toml. I may have missed something in the documentation, but I think this is all I need?

Environment

OS: macOS Monterey 12.6
Application version: cargo 1.74.0
Application features: default features, I didn't enable anything

HI @liiyung, this is a bug when handling CLI commands. I'll put up a fix soon. In the meantime, you can authenticate the app and create cached credentials by just running spotify_player.

I ran spotify_player and I think it's currently working. Thanks for the quick workaround!
