Wallpaper withBinaryFile does not exist (No such file or directory)

[ddogfoodd]

I just updated to the latest in nixos-unstable, now stylix palette creation fails as it doesn't seem to find my wallpaper.

I get the following error:

Processing /home/user/.config/nixos/wallpaper.jpg
palette-generator: /home/user/.config/nixos/wallpaper.jpg: withBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)
CallStack (from HasCallStack):
  error, called at Stylix/Main.hs:15:26 in main:Main

I made sure the file (/home/user/.config/nixos/wallpaper.jpg) still exists. I am not sure, but I update regularly so maybe the error was introduced with this recent commit changing wallpaper path handling.

I would like to test if it does but am not sure yet if there is a convenient way to revert back to before this commit with Nix. If you know how to do it, drop me a hint and I will try it out.

To automate the procecdure, you could write a small script that runs git bisect run on Stylix, and on each iteration you verify whether your NixOS or Home Manager configuration still works.

I also am having this problem

Does https://github.com/danth/stylix/pull/329 resolve the issue?

Does this work with nix flakes installation or just with the cloned git repo?

For example, you could specify the commit hash as:

https://github.com/danth/stylix/blob/b6dbe9ac5d57d27d5620445f20cad2c353089f86/flake.nix#L10

Personally, I prefer to do this with a local clone:

- inputs.stylix.url = "github:danth/stylix";
+ inputs.stylix.url = "git+file:/path/to/stylix";

In /path/to/stylix, I simply git checkout whatever commit I want, and then I nix flake lock --update-input stylix in the flake.nix file that imports it.

Does #329 resolve the issue?

Alternatively, you could test this PR with:

- inputs.stylix.url = "github:danth/stylix";
+ inputs.stylix.url = "github:trueNAHO/stylix/fix-stylix-palette-do-not-escape-spaces-in-wallpaper-path";

Does #329 resolve the issue?

I'm having the exact same issue, and for me, that PR resolved it.

[ddogfoodd]

Thanks for the explanation, also yes that fixed it. Thanks for that as well! Do I keep the issue open until merge?

The commit which caused this has been reverted for now.

If you put "" around the image path, it returns that same error, just in case anyone face it
