Can't start spotibar

[AuthFailed]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run python3 -m pip install spotibar
2. Run spotibar --auth

Error I got:
command not found: Spotibar

I'm already tried to rerun first command, got this:

Hey @AuthFailed

Super strange, it seems to have found the package and installed what was necessary but it can't find the entry point. Any chance you just need to run source ~/.zshrc or open up a new terminal to find the new executable?

@conor-f

I tried again run spotibar command, but nothing new. source ~/.zshrc doesnt help too.

[conor-f]

if you run python3 and then import spotibar does it import correctly or does it get a module not found error?

Imported correctly.

Thanks @AuthFailed, I'll get this sorted this evening. Must be an issue with the setup.py and how it sets up the console script. Will get back to you shortly!

Hey @AuthFailed this is super weird. I tried replicating this as closely as possible:

tried with and without pip caching enabled, etc etc. Only difference I notice in pip output is that yours doesn't specify "building wheels for collected packages: spotibar..." towards the end of the output. I really don't have much idea of what to do apart from either trying an older version of pip (e.g. python3.8 -m pip install spotibar), trying with sudo or uninstalling and reinstalling!

I just removed spotibar package and then run installation command with sudo:

[AuthFailed]

Maybe problem in this line? Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

[AuthFailed]

I think I got the problem:
WARNING: The script spotibar is installed in '/home/authfailed/.local/bin' which is not on PATH. Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.

I don't know why, I don't know how. I only understood it because of this

[conor-f]

Well that should be a pretty simple fix - adding /home/authfailed/.local/bin to your PATH by adding export PATH=$PATH:/home/authfailed/.local/bin in your .zshrc?

Yep, already fixed.
BUT! There are new error from this

[conor-f]

Sorry I don't see what the new error is? :)

[AuthFailed]

Sorry I don't see what the new error is? :)

ImportError: libtk8.6.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I solved this problem by using pacman -S tk

[AuthFailed]

Oh, shit, I've already added bin to PATH
`

ls -l /bin/sh said that /bin/sh -> bash
I logon in /bin/sh and tried to run spotibar and got no errors.

[conor-f]

Could be because of how you start your polybar? Mine is started via a shell script loaded from my i3 config which has the shebang line of #!/bin/bash

[AuthFailed]

You was right
My firstline in shell polybar scipt was #!/usr/bin/env bash. Now everything works correctly. But I did not find information in the readme that I was supposed to add http://127.0.0.1 as a REDIRECT URI in Spotify
