Kap shows error dialog and will freeze interaction to all windows

[samundra]

macOS version: ProductName: Mac OS X ProductVersion: 10.14.5 BuildVersion: 18F132
Kap version: 3.2.2

Steps to reproduce

Downloaded and installed the latest version. Then after installing it, I tried to run it from menu bar as well. It errored out with dialog box as shown.

I had old version before and this is the screenshot from that version.

After that I downloaded new version and got the same kind of error.

The only difference that I see in error dialog is "copy error" button next to Ok.

Current behaviour

Error dialog is shown as soon as Kap is run by clicking on menu bar icon. While this error dialog is open I can no longer interact with other windows. I then have to open terminal and kill Kap process to get back to normal state where I can interact with other window. It feels as if Kap is sitting on top of other windows and taking all mouse clicks. Because no matter where I click I hear error sound "ding" "ding" as I try to switch window by clicking on them.

Expected behaviour

Can use Kap without error.

Workaround

Have to open terminal manually using spotlight and then have to kill Kap process manually. I killed process using htop -> select Kap then kill it using SigKill.

More Info

I am using Yabai as my window manager.

I tried to run Kap from terminal and this is what I got back. I absolutely have no idea why I have this issue all of a sudden. Kap used to work fine as far as I can remember. This is the first time I have encountered this issue.

Hey, that is an issue with kap-streamable. We've opened and Issue and a PR over there: kevva/kap-streamable#4, but we haven't heard anything.

To fix it, either delete your entire ~/Library/Application Support/Kap/plugins directory, or if you don't want to have to install your plugins again, open ~/Library/Application Support/Kap/plugins/package.json and remove kap-streamable from the dependencies
