Seems that runtime.ConfigPath is not filled on next branch

On v10.0.4 tag runtime.ConfigPath is loaded on MakeRuntime function

On next branch we don't have more MakeRuntime function, and the runtime config is loaded on NewConfig function but ConfigPath is not set

The problem continue in

$ yay --version                                        
yay v10.1.0 - libalpm v12.0.2

I've try set my yay preferences with:

yay --sortby popularity --topdown --nodiffmenu --save     
<nil>

same here. --save returns

As a temporary workaround, first run
mkdir ~/.config/yay

[991688344]

1. create the directory ： sudo mkdir ~/.config/yay
2. run yay -P -g and Copy the output of the command !!
3. create the file: sudo vim ~/.config/yay/config.json
4. change file permissions： sudo chmod 777 ~/.config/yay/config.json
5. run vim ~/.config/yay/config.json and Paste the content you just copied
6. run yay --aururl "https://aur.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn" --save
7. run yay -P -g to check if it works

yay --sortby popularity --topdown --nodiffmenu --save

I tested this on an existing config.json and a clean .config folder without issues on yay 10.1.1, closing for now
