clerk won't launch rofi

[fishman]

How does clerk launch rofi? I see references to it in the code and i see the rvar{backend} = 'rofi' but there i can't get it to launch rofi.

[carnager]

see clerk -h all arguments actually start rofi, except when using -f option.

I see that, but still for me it will only start tmux with fzf.

that's very strange indeed. I just tried what happens if no rofi is installed.

carnager@caprica ~ > clerk -t
Command 'rofi' not found in /home/carnager/.gem/ruby/2.4.0/bin, /home/carnager/bin, /home/carnager/perl5/bin, /home/carnager/bin, /usr/local/sbin, /usr/local/bin, /usr/bin, /usr/lib/jvm/default/bin, /usr/bin/site_perl, /usr/bin/vendor_perl, /usr/bin/core_perl at /usr/bin/clerk line 263.

as expected...

[fishman]

hmm is there anything special in your clerk.conf?

I am curious, but simply cannot reproduce it. And codewise $rvar{backend} is only set to fzf when "-f" is passed.

long shot, but is your rofi actually working? echo "foo" | rofi -dmenu"

[carnager]

can you try clerk --no-tmux-ui -t

[fishman]

that works

[carnager]

Ok, guess i will document that option, just in case. still strange :)
