Wpgtk doesn't generate colorschemes

[Alfatango12]

Hi! So I'm on arch linux and I installed wpgtk-git from the aur. When I enter the command wpg -a /path/to/wallpaper it returns me that error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/wpg", line 33, in <module> sys.exit(load_entry_point('wpgtk==6.5.7', 'console_scripts', 'wpg')()) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/wpgtk/__main__.py", line 305, in main process_args(args) File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/wpgtk/__main__.py", line 222, in process_args add_action(glob.glob(x)[0]) File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/wpgtk/data/themer.py", line 24, in create_theme return color.get_color_list(filename) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/wpgtk/data/color.py", line 36, in get_color_list is_new = not os.path.isfile(files.get_cache_path(filename)) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/wpgtk/data/files.py", line 58, in get_cache_path filename = cache_fname(filepath, backend, False, WPG_DIR) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ TypeError: cache_fname() missing 1 required positional argument: 'cache_dir'

I've seen error related to multiple wal installed on the system but whereis wal returns wal: /usr/bin/wal so it isn't the problem. I've tried with multiple wallpapers and I also use wal to generates colors for other applications. Also I'm using hyprland (if it can be useful) Any idea on how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

I was not able to reproduce, what version of pywal do you have installed? you need to be using the latest versioned released of pywal, not the git verison.

Are you by any chance using pywal16 because I'm having the same trouble. I still couldn't get it to work but basically the function cache_fname(img, backend, cols16, light, cache_dir) asks for an extra "cols16" argument; filename = cache_fname(filepath, backend, False, WPG_DIR) only gives in the light argument, thus shifting the rest around and making it be missing the WPG_DIR file.

Also unable to set a wallpaper, using the wpgtk aur package

what pywal version are you using? for now I only support pywal 3.3.0

I was using pywal-16, but I downgraded it to the 8 color version of pywal and wpgtk started working

[deviantfero]

you shouldn't need pywal-16 if you're using wpgtk anyway :) wpgtk should take care of the other 8 colors for you.
