However, nothing had been copied to the clipboard. Has this been tested on a linux machine?

I can reproduce this when I build it locally as well.

Hey @ahonnecke, thank you for opening an issue on this. Can you please send the complete output from code2prompt with --tokens flag used?

Hey @mufeedvh , my colleague and I are experiencing the same problem, with both the precompiled and a manually compiled version.

Here's the output from within my local copy of code2prompt.git:

code2prompt --tokens .

Yes having same issue in Ubuntu 20.04 as well.

However absolutely great tool, and Thank You @mufeedvh for open-sourcing it.

Hello,

@mufeedvh the problem with Linux clipboard is that the running process is always responsible for providing the copied data, when the process exits, the information is efficiently lost (it's the same as if the clipboard was cleared out). There are workarounds for this problem, see for example the arboard examples, but it is sort of a drag to implement.

@RastislavKish Hello, it's fixed in #20 using the use arboard::Clipboard;

Fixed in #20 by @ODAncona! 🙌 🎉
