problem running on mac os x 11.4

[rhaynes74]

Hi folks, downloading the mac binary and running ./tp-note yields

*** ERROR: Unable to load, parse or write the configuration file:

Bad TOML data: missing field debug_arg_default at line 1 column 1

Note: this error may occur after upgrading Tp-Note due to some incompatible configuration file changes.

For now, Tp-Note backs up the existing configuration file and next time it starts, it will create a new one with default values. *** ERROR: Can not backup and delete the erroneous configuration file:

Configuration file not found.

Rerunning doesn't fix it. There is no config file in ~/.config/tp-note/

I tried to trick it by doing a

touch ~/.config/tp-note/tp-note.toml

and then rerunning, but unfortunately no dice.

"Unable to load, parse or write the configuration file" usually means that Tp-Note finds an outdated version, which is not compatible with the Tp-Note binary you are using. What prints tp-note --version? "Can not backup and delete the erroneous configuration file" probably means that Tp-Note lacks write permission in the directory where it wants to store/back up its configuration file. Please check in the error message, below "Additional technical details" in the last line it says * configuration file: ... which indicates the location of the configuration file. Delete this file by hand, check the directory's write permission and restart Tp-Note.

Thanks for the reply - the rest of the message said:

*** ERROR: Can not backup and delete the erroneous configuration file:

Configuration file not found.

Please do it manually. fatal runtime error: Rust cannot catch foreign exceptions

Ok, I see.

When Tp-Note starts, it checks if there is a configuration file and if not it tries to create one in some default location. I your case, it seems that at this location there is already some configuration file from a previous version of Tp-Note: Bad TOML data: missing field debug_arg_default at line 1 column 1 As this file is incompatible, Tp-Note tries to get it out of the way by renaming it. This failed: Can not backup and delete the erroneous configuration file.

You need to:

1. Find out where Tp-Note tries to read its configuration file tp-note.toml.
2. Delete this file manually.

Concerning 1.: Unfortunately, at the moment, Tp-Note can not reliably determine this location, because of Expose config path · Issue #33 · rust-cli/confy. When you run tp-note --popup, the last line of the error popup shows its "best guess" of the location of the configuration file, but still it can be located somewhere else. I suggest searching for your configuration file tp-note.toml with some file utility and then manually delete it. Once this file is deleted, restart Tp-Note. It should silently create a new configuration file and operate correctly.

Please tell me how it goes.

Workaround

If the above does not help, you can always instruct Tp-Note to use some alternative configuration file with the command line option --config. For example:

tp-note --config ~/tp-note.toml

or

tp-note --config /path/to/my/home/dir/tp-note.toml

Thanks - I was able to get things up and running with the workaround.  Looking forward to playing around a little.

Hi folks, now that I am up and running - are there particulars pieces of the config file that I should pay attention to or typically need to be modified to adjust workflows?

Good to hear. I am working on bugfix for this issue, I let you know.

are there particulars pieces of the config file that I should pay attention to or typically need to be modified to adjust workflows?

Good start is :

• TP-NOTE(1) Version 1.12.19 | Tp-Note customization and
• tp_note::config - Rust

[getreu]

3 should be solved with commit: f6ca6dcbccde1c742b6b2805a1ea29d355444910 which is included in v1.13.0.

Could you download and install tp-note-v1.13.0-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz ?

The above error messages should not show up any more. If everything goes well, you will just see a popup message informing that the config file was upgraded to v1.13.0.

Can you confirm?

[rhaynes74]

Hi - thanks, I will try this with the next update.
