Cannot execute script.

[Vanderscycle]

Hey,

Thank you for making this bash script. I am having issues executing the script through polybar giving me the following result.

[module/fcitx]
type = custom/script
exec = ~/Documents/dotFiles/.config/polybar/fcitx5.sh
tail = true
interval = 0
format-prefix = "KBD"

Current polybar folder structure

dotFiles/.config/polybar on  main [$!] took 18s
❯ pwd
/home/henri/Documents/dotFiles/.config/polybar

dotFiles/.config/polybar on  main [$!]
❯ ls
.rw-r--r-- 5.1k henri 18 Jul 19:44 config.ini
.rwxrwxrwx 2.1k henri 17 Jul 19:46 fcitx5.sh
.rw-------  305 henri 15 Jul 22:15 launch.sh
.rw-r--r--  774 henri 17 Jul 19:33 mocha.ini

Any help is appreciated. I feel the fix is simple but it evades me.
Thank you

I don't know so much but try exec = ~/Documents/.config/polybar/fcitx5.sh instead exec = ~/Documents/dotFiles/.config/polybar/fcitx5.sh from exec path.

I am getting the same error but from a different dir now. I am using nixos so everything is symlinked.

[Tarik366]

are you setting file to executable? chmod u+x fcitx5.sh
