Bee cim error when active config is in the database

[FizCS3]

Hi there --
Am using Backdrop1.31 with latest version of bee (1.x-1.2.x-dev - 2025-04-30).

I have my active config in the database using in settings.php:

$settings['config_active_class'] = 'ConfigDatabaseStorage';

When I try to import config bee cim, I get an error:

⚠️ Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/home/fizbap/bee/includes/render.inc:132)
in backdrop_send_headers() (line 1720 of /usr/home/fizbap/public_html/sdca.pairsite.com/s/web/core/includes/bootstrap.inc).

ConfigException: The configuration directory type "active" does not exist. in config_get_config_directory() (line 235 of /usr/home/fizbap/public_html/sdca.pairsite.com/s/web/core/includes/config.inc).

Is bee currently figured to work with this setup?
Or must the active config instead be in a directory?

@FizCS3 - did the config successfully import and then you got the error or did you get the error but the config did NOT import?

I think I know what this is and the fix is easy, but just want to check in case something else is happening.

@FizCS3 - I've added a Pull Request for fixing this issue as I understand it. Please see my question above and if you are able then please test the pull request. I don't have time to test with config db storage but I think this should fix the error you were seeing

@yorkshire-pudding I just tried this again on a fresh installation, with one change to the config, and the config DOES successfully import, then the error appears.

Ok thank you, I've just tried this change and it works for me -- config imports fine and nice message displayed:

 ✔  Config was imported to 'db://default/config_active'.
 ℹ  1 file was synced.

btw, I just tested this fixed version on another installation that is instead using an active file directory, and bee cim is still working fine for the file directory instance.

Thanks for testing @FizCS3
