joe-data error: cannot find the file

[rcdailey]

I'm using joe on Git for Windows 2.13 and I get the following error:

$ joe g visualstudio,csharp
2017/07/10 09:18:57 open E:\Google Drive\Development\Home\Robert/.joe-data: The system cannot find the file specified.

All I did was drop joe.exe on my PATH and ran it from git-bash.exe. Why isn't this working?

same thing on Mac OS (Sierra):

$ joe ls
2018/05/06 09:53:06 open /<my-home-dir>/.joe-data: no such file or directory
$ mkdir ~/.joe-data # readme implies ^that^ should have just worked, but YOLO
$ joe ls
0 supported .gitignore files:

looks like this project is dead?

hellojukay@local joe (master) $

I successfully get rid of the issue by running joe u which is suggested by the doc
