head: illegal line count -- -2 OSX Ventura 13.4.1

[quarterturn]

adl seems to be having a problem with trackma when it invokes it, as the following exception is seen before adl exits:

head: illegal line count -- -2
Exception ignored in: <_io.TextIOWrapper name='<stdout>' mode='w' encoding='utf-8'>
BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
trackma returned empty 'watching' list. Choose another list query. 
Available queries: watching, completed, rewatching, paused, dropped, plantowatch;

Using tee when running adl gets a little more information:

I believe the issue is this line. Can you try on your end trackma -a 1 list | head -n -2 ?

Some implementations of head like GNU head support negative arguments for -n. It is likely that on OSX Ventura it does not. As such this line fails.

If that is the case then commands such as adl -v will also fail, the change_providers, check_for_updates too.

I suppose the easiest workaround for this would be something like this:

trackma -a 1 list | sed '$d' | sed '$d'

I might find a more efficient solution, but I would like you to test this command to see if it works on your system.

Yeah it's even in the newer macports bash:

bash-5.2$ trackma -a 1 list | head -n -2
head: illegal line count -- -2
Exception ignored in: <_io.TextIOWrapper name='<stdout>' mode='w' encoding='utf-8'>
BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
bash-5.2$ trackma -a 1 list | sed '$d' | sed '$d'

I have made a different branch for this issue. You can see it above. I have also tested on my system and it appears to be working as expected, but I would like you to test the changes and see if adl works for you.

It is now working. Thank you.
