[BUG] Pypr Doesnt Start : Fail to parse version information in NIXOS

[aurreland]

Pyprland version 2.3.4

Describe the bug When executing pypr i get this return :

Fail to parse version information: {'branch': '', 'commit': 'fabc30df52ab5d2c369fc8acd4ff909a6ba3b8ac', 'dirty': False, 'commit_message': '', 'commit_date': '2024-06-19', 'tag': '', 'commits': 'fabc30df52ab5d2c369fc8acd4ff909a6ba3b8ac', 'flags': []}

I've seen that pypr doesnt only parse pyprland.toml for some reasons but also my kitty/colors.conf for some reasons and was throwing errors about the config file before i fixed it. I have tried installing pyprland from the flake, from home.packages stable and unstable and by overriding with the src from github.

Expected behavior Pypr Starting

Configuration (provide following files/samples when relevant):

• pyprland.toml

  
  [pyprland]
  plugins = 
  "scratchpads"
  ]

[scratchpads.term] command = "kitty --class kitty-dropterm" class = "kitty-dropterm" size = "40% 30%"

it is written in a nix file using xdg.configFile."hypr/pyprland.toml" = {
enable = true;
text = ''
_the config_
'';
};

Fixed it by removing my colors.conf from kitty, but there is still a problem why is it parsing .config/kitty/*

This is a packaging issue, try using the version attribute https://hyprland-community.github.io/pyprland/Troubleshooting.html#force-hyprland-version

Also can you provide the output of hyprctl -j version ?

Can you show the log of a failed session when it parses your kitty config? It's very surprising...

[aurreland]

hyprctl -j version

{
"branch": "",
"commit": "8ec3dc4c09c30aab7669f99ba6359be320023fa8",
"dirty": false,
"commit_message": "",
"commit_date": "2024-07-30",
"tag": "",
"commits": "8ec3dc4c09c30aab7669f99ba6359be320023fa8",
"flags": []
}

I dont have the logs of when it parsed kitty but it gave me the error that some things where not syntaxicly correct

I believe the log you saw is kitty's output, since it's being launched by pyprland.

And the "tag" is missing, you are not using an "official" release or there is a packaging problem. Check the link I provided in case it causes any trouble.

I think it's the log of kitty when launched. I can't test it for now on, I'm using unstable branch of nixpkgs for pyprland and the flake for hyprland. I'll test it when I can, I'll close the issue for now.
