When ripme.jar is run via CLI the -n/--no-prop-file option does the opposite of what it should

[myyipmet]

ripme.jar version 1.2.13 does not have this issue
so java -jar ripme.jar -u [URL] will create a rip.properties file if one doesn't exist and save URL in history section

ripme.jar versions 1.3+ by default does not do either, so if rip.properties doesn't exist it won't create one, and even if one does it won't save a URL to the history after ripping. To get it to work as intended you have to pass the -n/--no-prop-file option, which ironically results in the successful creation and updating of rip.properties
