Unable to run i3-resurrect

[karimone]

No matter what command I run, I always get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/i3-resurrect", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('i3-resurrect==1.4.3', 'console_scripts', 'i3-resurrect')())

    st = os.stat(rv)

The only thing that works is the help

Here the details about the system:

• Linux: Arch 5.16.5-zen1-1-zen
• i3 version 4.16.1-191-gb521c18c (2021-04-22, branch "makepkg")
• i3-resurrect, version 1.4.3
• Python 3.10.2

What's the command that you're running?

[karimone]

Any command that is not i3-resurrect shows the help it fails. It's very, very weird.

[JonnyHaystack]

Can you please send an example of the exact command you run that produces this error. Also did you install it using pip or from the AUR?

[karimone]

[karimone]

Removed the i3-resurrect-git package from arch and installed the pip package on a virtualenv. It works.

[JonnyHaystack]

Hmm that's weird. Had you only just installed it, or was it working in the past? I found that for me it broke when there was a Python upgrade, so I had to uninstall the AUR package, wipe pacman/AUR build cache, and install it again.

[karimone]

I never had i3-resurrect working on my arch. I did as you suggested cleaning the pacman/aur cache with pacman -Sc && yay -Sc but still the same problem.

I'll try to debug this issue and find the proper solution

[karimone]

I think that the problem is my configuration for the global python. Here my pip freeze. Do you see something suspicious?

Hello, I've experienced the same issue. That seem to be related to the config file ~/.config/i3-resurrect/config.json Directory is stored on list and click seems to expect a string.... Edit the file and try to remove bracket in "directory": ["~/.i3/i3-resurrect/"], to "directory": "~/.i3/i3-resurrect/", That worked for me at least.

[JonnyHaystack]

Oh wow, yeah that's definitely wrong. Not sure how that's been there for so long and not been an issue until now. Will fix now.
