Improve theme documentation #5090
Comments
We recently recived a bug report (helix-editor/helix#5090) from a user that was confused by the need to manually symlink the runtime directory and asked us to improve our documentation in that regard. We only document this requirement for manual builds because package manager usually provide a wrapper script that set s `HELIX_RUNTIME`. I update the package to include such a script to avoid further problems. I also undid the removal of the `--frozen` flag. We track our `Cargo.lock` in git and keep it up to date so this should really not cause any problems. I am not familiar with macports and don't have mac to test this with so feel free to edit this/use this a template.
I don't think this is a documentation issue or a helix issue at all. Instead I submitted a ticket https://trac.macports.org/ticket/66428#ticket. |
I will close this issue since its not related to helix itself and there exists a macports ticket for this now. Sadly they have not been responding to me but I assume they will get to this eventually |
I'm giving Helix a run and immediately ran into a gotcha with trying to set a theme. My experience may be related to the MacPorts build:
Now themes work.
What would have saved me some time is if the docs explicitly explained that the install (at least in the case of MacPorts, I'm not sure what other package managers) may include some themes which are not available by default and must be copied to the theme directory first, or optionally the sym link strategy above to enable all of them.
