Failed to deploy #93

Environment

The question

I installed dotter using cargo. I would like to keep dotter binaries out of the repo, since I want to save the space and think only source files should go into repos. I can't seem to deploy like this, though. I already tried running dotter -g ~/.dotfiles/.dotter/global.toml but that didn't work either.

What's the problem here? How can I fix this?

Are you running from ~/.dotfiles as your working directory? (You are supposed to)

If you are, is there more to the error?

Yup.

If you are, is there more to the error?

Just what I've already provided:

[ERROR] Failed to deploy
Caused by:
    get a configuration
    merge configuration files
    get info of package default

Post global.toml and local.toml (and included if you have)

ghost commented 2 years ago

global.toml:

[zsh.files]
# this file sets $ZDOTDIR
"zsh/env_init" = "$HOME/.zshenv"
"zsh/env" = "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/zsh/.zshenv"
"zsh/rc" = "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/zsh/.zshrc"
"zsh/profile" = "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/.zprofile"

[nvim.files]
nvim = "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim"

local.toml:

includes = []
packages = ["default"]

[files]

[variables]

Now that I see this, did I maybe delete some of the necessary boilerplate in global.toml?

SuperCuber commented 2 years ago

You're selecting the wrong thing in packages of local.toml. In your case it should be ["zsh", "nvim"]

I should change the error message to be more informative so keep the issue open :)

It now works, thanks :) can I somehow define a default package list here, though? So that I basically have an empty local.toml and just derive everything from the global.toml.

SuperCuber commented 2 years ago

there's currently no "select all packages" option

ghost commented 2 years ago

would be nice if no local.toml exists would mean "select all packages". Seems intuitive to me. As in "no local overrides"

SuperCuber commented 2 years ago

You could add a special "all" package and have

[all]
depends =["my","packages"]

Then select it in local.toml
