Crate cannot find path - rust

Question

I am trying to use this crate to generate an ethereum address: https://docs.rs/ethkey/0.2.5/ethkey/
use ethkey::prelude::*;
fn main() {
let key = EthAccount::load_or_generate("~/", "passwd")
.expect("should load or generate new eth key");
println!("{:?}", key.address())
}
This is the example from the documentation and it doesnt seem to work.
I get the error below:
cargo run Compiling ethkey v0.1.0
(/Users/samueldare/Documents/Code/Thor/ethkey)
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 1.34s
Running target/debug/ethkey thread 'main' panicked at 'should load or generate new eth key: Error(IoError(Os { code: 2, kind:
NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }), State { next_error:
None, backtrace: InternalBacktrace { backtrace: None } })',
src/libcore/result.rs:999:5 note: run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1
environment variable to display a backtrace.
Ive use ~/ as a last attempt to generate the key file in rust, but it still doesnt seem to work.
I will appreciate any pointers with this

The first argument to load_or_generate() takes a std::path::Path with no closing slash ( '/' ). Remove the slash:
fn main() {
let key = EthAccount::load_or_generate("~", "passwd")
.expect("should load or generate new eth key");
println!("{:?}", key.address())
}
Sample output:
05:47 ethtest (master) ✗ cargo run
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.04s
Running `target/debug/ethtest`
