Creating 0-byte file (touch foo.blend), then loading with blender foo.blend causes an exit.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

touch newfile.blend
blender newfile.blend

This used to run blender and that file would be the current name ready to save with ctrl+S

Can confirm

It should take the code path reaching

... opened default scene instead; saving will write to:

but doesnt anymore, will check when this broke

So this is actually expected behavior now (see that commit message).

You dont really have to touch the file, you could just do blender newfile.blend without it.
Does this work for you?

Closing as this is intended behavior, loading blender, referencing the path without an error could even overwrite a file from the future (if the file fails to load and the user saves) - this would loose user data.

There is no need to touch the file first, instead - reference a new file that doesn't yet exist.
