No komorebi configuration found

[goyalyashpal]

hey @ LGUG2Z ! i am also a new user to komorebi coming here after failed try with dwm-win32 port.
i have been looking for almost 100 minutes, and still couldn't find how to enable hotkeys.

on looking further with komorebic check (thannks a lot for check subcommand 😃), i found that it says "no config found" which is confusing as i have done the equivalent of all the steps given in the readme.

i have done:

• downloaded both komorebi & whkd
• added both those to PATH, and added the KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME env variable
• added all the 3 applications.yaml komorebi.json whkdrc files to that directory configured above

$ komorebic check
KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME detected: D:\UserFiles\komorebi_config_home

Looking for configuration files in D:\UserFiles\komorebi_config_home

No komorebi configuration found in D:\UserFiles\komorebi_config_home

If running 'komorebic start --await-configuration', you will manually have to call the following command to begin tiling: komorebic complete-configuration   


$ cd $KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME/

$ ls -A
applications.yaml  komorebi.json  whkdrc

_{i am using msys2, not wsl or anything like that. so, the issue is not related to it.}

i.e. equivalent of as mentioned at:

	#### Setting a Custom KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME Directory
	If you do not want to keep _komorebi_-related files in your `$Env:USERPROFILE` directory, you can specify a custom directory
	by setting the `$Env:KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME` environment variable.

Versions and environment:

$ komorebi --version
komorebi 0.1.19

$ whkd --version
whkd 0.2.0

whkd has its own config home environment variable. WHKD_CONFIG_HOME

do you start komorebi and whkd like this?

komorebic start -c "<komorebi.json file path goes here>" --whkd

[goyalyashpal]

do you start komorebi and whkd like this?

hi! no.

• i started like: komorebic start as supplying the path options works only for current session, and
• the problem of komorebic check failing would still prevail, i.e.
• it would still require passing it every time which is tedious and those options should be took care by the config

whkd has its own config home environment variable. WHKD_CONFIG_HOME

so, i need to set that up and point it to same as KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME ?

[goyalyashpal]

komorebic start -c "<komorebi.json file path goes here>" --whkd

so,

• i tried that just now; and
• it seems that specifying the -c option makes 'komorebi.exe' unable to start.
• whereas without that, i.e. with no options or even with --whkd, it starts okay.
• it makes me wonder if there's some issue parsing that json file or if it is even valid

$ komorebic start -c $KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME/komorebi.json --whkd
Start-Process 'komorebi.exe' -ArgumentList '--config="D:\UserFiles\komorebi_config_home\komorebi.json"' -WindowStyle hidden
Waiting for komorebi.exe to start...komorebi.exe did not start... Trying again
Start-Process 'komorebi.exe' -ArgumentList '--config="D:\UserFiles\komorebi_config_home\komorebi.json"' -WindowStyle hidden

$ komorebic start --whkd
Start-Process 'komorebi.exe' -WindowStyle hidden
Waiting for komorebi.exe to start...Started!

if (!(Get-Process whkd -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue))
{
  Start-Process whkd -WindowStyle hidden
}

do you mind sharing your json file?

[goyalyashpal]

sharing your json file

hi! yeah, i have attached it below.

komorebi/README.md

Lines 200 to 201 in f9c69e5

	# save the sample whkdrc file with key bindings to ~/.config/whkdrc
	iwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi/v0.1.19/whkdrc.sample -OutFile "$Env:USERPROFILE\.config\whkdrc"

but rerading the above example , i actually think u were right before regaring this:

whkd has its own config home environment variable. WHKD_CONFIG_HOME

in the sense that, maybe (edit: yes) the default place where whkd looks for its config is ~/.config/whkdrc and so above works out.

edit2: even after setting up the WHKD_CONFIG_HOME to %KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME% (as the whkdrc is located in same dir) it didn't work; and lack of whkd check didn't help

can you remove the commented out line in json file and try it again? If i am right json can't include lines commented out. not sure 100%.
just for testing can you hardcode the full path in WHKD_CONFIG_HOME instead of %KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME%?

hi! i have got exams. so, wont be able to attach ay things for a month. however sharing my foundings from 2 days ago:

it seems that evon on starting with komorebic start the hotkeys are working... its just that it was placing current active window on left, and i was trying with A-S-h which was not doing anything.

I was doing that as i was used to expecting it to cycle back as it does in dwm-win32 port. i found that this was erronoeus when i started it as komorebi and perssing that showed the error entry on stdout/err...

other than that, i tried changing the configs in whkdrc i.e. alt h to shift focus up.. but i guess even that didn't work... (but to be reconfirmed more firmly)

and ofc i tried removing that commented out line, and it still showed no config found on komorebic check

[azinsharaf]

'komorebic check' command shows me 'no config found' as well but it has picked it up correctly. could be a wrong message.
