[BUG]: Waiting for komorebi.exe
Been trying komorebi, first run works well, then
Start-Process 'komorebi.exe' -WindowStyle hidden
Waiting for komorebi.exe to start...komorebi.exe did not start... Trying again
Can't manage to make it work, tried different versions, scoop, winget, none work after the second run.
Running also whkd as the keyboard shortcuts.
No KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME detected, defaulting to C:\Users\Viciooso
Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\Viciooso
Found komorebi.json; this file can be passed to the start command with the --config flag
Found C:\Users\Viciooso\.config\whkdrc; key bindings will be loaded from here when whkd is started, and you can start it automatically using the --whkd flag
Tried passing --config but still getting the same issue:
Start-Process 'komorebi.exe' -ArgumentList '--config="C:\Users\Viciooso\komorebi.json"' -WindowStyle hidden
Waiting for komorebi.exe to start...komorebi.exe did not start... Trying again
Komorebi and whkd was installed with scoop, don't know if that make a difference.
If you run "komorebi.exe" it should log information about the underlying error to the console; can you share that here?

Looks like you are running into the same issue from here: https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi/issues/671, also recently surfaced here: https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi/issues/732
Did you run the komorebic quickstart command when following the guide? This command creates some komorebi system directories that are required to run the program correctly.
Yeah, as i said in the first comment, when i run komorebic quickstart it works fine, but when i close it, reboot the system and try again to start it with komorebic start --whkd it just says Waiting for komorebi.exe to start...komorebi.exe did not start... Trying again
The only reason for the error that you're seeing is if the $Env:LOCALAPPDATA\komorebi folder doesn't exist.
mkdir "$Env:LOCALAPPDATA\komorebi" -ea 0
If you create the folder manually with this PowerShell command, does it persist after a reboot?
i am experiencing similar issue on win 10 (installed with scoop). The one on windows 11 installed with winget works fine.
i have tried these: quickstart, making sure the komorebi folder exists in appdata.
Also i noticed that komorebic quickstart doesn't create the komorebi.json on the home folder.
the error i get:
❯ komorebi.exe

@azinsharaf your error looks like it may be an issue with the location of the applications.yaml file 👀
oh! yes! not sure why my config had been changed after the upgrade. could be user error. All good now. thanks!
Windows Update must have changed something because I'm getting this error now -- where does applications.yaml usually live? $Env:LOCALAPPDATA\komorebi already exists
If you update the file with the komorebic fetch-asc command it will get downloaded to either $Env:USERPROFILE or $Env:KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME (if set). For example, when I run it with the custom config dir env var set, I get this output:
❯ komorebic fetch-asc
Latest version of applications.yaml from https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi-application-specific-configuration downloaded
You can add this to your komorebi.json static configuration file like this:
"app_specific_configuration_path": "C:\Users\LGUG2Z\.config\komorebi\applications.yaml"
If you're getting the error that @azinsharaf posted it's worth running fetch-asc and then updating the location of the file in komorebi.json based on the output you get from that command.
yep that fixed it, weird. The file landed where it was set in the config file though, unless $ENV:USERPROFILE pointed somewhere other than my homedir before windowsUpdate ran.
no idea if the file existed before now, but the windows-update would be the only thing that's changed since last night when komorebi ran fine and this morning when komorebi broke.
been using v1.22 and after multiple stop/starts and config edits, now i'm getting the bug in the OP too
komorebic check output same as Viciooso
komorebi.exe showed a json error missing 'workspaces' item. json looked formatted correctly but i removed a bunch and now it works. maybe spit out that error during komorebic start for better ux
