When passing a file path that includes a tilde (~) such as --config-file "~/config.toml", the CLI tool treats the tilde as a literal folder name rather than expanding it to $HOME.

As a result, zabbix-cli attempts to read/write in ./~/config.toml instead of /home/USER/config.toml.

Expected behavior:

The CLI should expand ~ to the user's home directory, consistent with shell behavior.

Workaround:

Using $HOME/myconfig.yaml works as expected.

connor@con-air ~ % zabbix-cli init --url "https://zabbix.csilo.ca" --config-file "$HOME/config.toml"
