Sentry ignores --config path

Question

I got Sentry (6.0.6) to work, at least when I do sentry start it works. However, I don't want the default config location.

Easy enough theoretically. I moved the config file and use

sentry start --config=/new/path/sentry.conf.py

... as found here. But:

ValueError: Configuration file does not exist at '/home/username/.sentry/sentry.conf.py'

...which is the default location, not the one I'm passing.

Why is the --config being ignored?

Answer 1

replace

sentry start --config=/new/path/sentry.conf.py

with

sentry --config=/new/path/sentry.conf.py start
