🐛 Bug

Description

The error message doesn't reflect that Hydra only accepts .yml files. The error message states "Cannot find primary config 'config.yml'" which hints at a problem with an incorrect path setup or a missing file. However, the config file exists and the path is correct. Only the file ending is not supported.

Checklist

• I checked on the latest version of Hydra
• I created a minimal repro (See this for tips).

To reproduce

** Minimal Code/Config snippet to reproduce **
from hydra import initialize, compose

with initialize(version_base=None, config_path="cloud_app/conf"):
cfg = compose("config.yml",overrides=["+db=mysql"])
print(cfg)

** Stack trace/error message **

MissingConfigException: Cannot find primary config 'config.yml'. Check that it's in your config search path.

Config search path:
	provider=hydra, path=pkg://hydra.conf
	provider=main, path=file:///home/user/notebooks/cloud_app/conf
	provider=schema, path=structured://

Expected Behavior

Output appropriate Error Message:

• WrongFileEndingException: Only .yaml files are expected as config files.

System information

• Hydra Version : 1.3.2
• Python version : 3.9.19
• Virtual environment type and version : conda 4.12.0
