Defaults file not read

[highfalutin]

Hi, running the latest release, this works (username and password are read from ~/.my.cnf) :

mycli --defaults-file ~/.my.cnf some_database

but this doesn't:

mycli some_database

If I'm understanding the docs correctly, the second command should work.

Can you share the error message.
