Cannot launch pypr

[zielOS]

Hi I am getting this error when I try to launch pypr from terminal. I installed it manually following aur steps. Also tried using pip to install it. Both show the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):

I have the same issue it seems :-/

I guess pypr daemon isn't running.
Did you add it to autostart or hyprland config ? Do you see any process running ?
ps axuw |grep pypr

Try running with --debug /tmp/pypr.log see if there is any error output in that file.

I had the same issue after following the steps on the wiki. It seems that the default config provided lacks a comma after one bracket, just before the "unknown" part at the end of the file. Now it works for me.

Hi! Two things:

@zielOS your JSON config file is invalid indeed. Check the first line, character 13:

json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Extra data: line 1 column 14 (char 13)

@lunigella I can't find the typo, can you point it to help me?

All: would switching to TOML format a good idea ?

Pros: simpler & more flexible syntax, harder to break
Cons: would add two small dependencies to the python project

I was referring to line 26 of the config provided in the Getting started session of the wiki.
...
}, <-
"unknown": "wlrlui"
}
}
I have little to no experience with json, so I'm glad this solution worked for me but I'm not sure this will work with zielOS problem.

Thank you, just fixed it!
