sketchybar items not updated

[albert-ying]

Hi,

Thank you for sharing this fantastic dotfile.

I encountered a weird problem tho:

as you can see, all the item are not updated.

p.s. I do have yabai and taskwarrior. For example if I run:

sh-3.2$ task +PENDING count

it returns

7

But on the sketchybar it doesn't work somehow.

hmm I just found that it only happens when I use brew services. If I just run sketchybar, it works somehow.

@albert-ying hmm, I'm not sure of what could be happening here. I've always done brew services start sketchybar / brew services restart sketchybar for my setup.

For the space indicator issue:

• Make sure you create exactly 7 spaces,
• Sometimes swiping between the spaces can force the indicator to update as well.
• For rendering app icons on the space indicator:
  • Check out this post I made here: https://github.com/FelixKratz/SketchyBar/discussions/12#discussioncomment-6974258.
  • Please note that for the app icons scripts to work:
  • 2 event hooks need to be registered at the end of yabairc,
  • 1 custom event hook must be registered inside sketchybarrc.

I'm not sure what's happening with taskwarrior, but you try the followings:

• Make sure the plugin scripts are allowed to execute: chmod +x .config/sketchybar/plugins/noti_task.sh or chmod +x .config/sketchybar/plugins/*
• Try configuring sketchybar with a different nerd font to see if it's a font issue.

I just figured out! It is a weird environment issue as I have two copy of homebrew (one from intel and one for arm). Thank you so much!
