Grin wallet recover fails with IO error - Mac OSX

[phreaknik]

Hello all,

I am having an issue recovering my wallet using the seed phrase. I get an IO error, as can be seen below.

> $ grin --floonet wallet recover -p "word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word"
Please provide a new password for the recovered wallet

20190102 14:07:33.230 ERROR grin_wallet::command - Error recovering seed with list 'word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word' - IO error
Wallet command failed: IO error

I just rebuilt the latest grin v0.5.0 on Mac OSX. Any idea what this IO error relates to?

Before recover, try to:

1. Run grin --floonet wallet init
2. Delete ~/.grin/floo/wallet_data/wallet.seed

Ahh, indeed that worked. Thanks for your help.

Would it be worth automating that as part of the recovery process?

I would also love to skip the init step, or give the init subcommand a recovery option.
