See empty/black screen when running lazydocker

[maksimu]

After fresh/first time install of lazydocker on my Mac and running that command in the terminal (same in iTerm). I see a black screen from which I can't also exit out (Ctrl+C)

Here is the screen I see:

Here are some things I could get out to try to debug:

When running: lazydocker -debug I see the same black screen

I'm getting the same blank screen running in Archlinux.

Gets the same screen when i run lazydocker -debug.

alright this one is going to be tricky to debug :P When you use the -debug flag, logs will be written to development.log in a path like to /Users/<your user name>/Library/Application Support/jesseduffield/lazydocker.

I think for linux it's ${HOME}/.config/jesseduffield/lazydocker or ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/jesseduffield/lazydocker.

Could you check to see if anything gets logged to that file before the app gets stuck?

[jesseduffield]

ah, I just tested to see what happened when I opened the program after exiting my docker daemon, and I too now get the blank screen. I think all we can really do here is to close the program with a useful error message.

Are your docker daemons running when you try to open lazydocker? For reference I'm using Docker Desktop for Mac

[jesseduffield]

Have a go at this release, I believe it will solve the immediate issue: https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazydocker/releases/tag/v0.2.2

My bad, I didn't realise my docker daemon was dead. Thanks! :D

[maksimu]

Yeap, my Docker was off, so I just started it and now I see expected screen

[maksimu]

Now I'm getting expected error when my Docker is not running and I'm on lazydocker 2.4

➜  ~ lazydocker

Thanks for fixing it so quickly!
