[pastel error]: Could not find any external color picker tool #170

Closed potatoqualitee closed 2 years ago

potatoqualitee commented 2 years ago

Hello, First, I love this tool! I use it extensively in my own OSS projects and I'm currently writing a PowerShell wrapper for it.

I'm having an issue with pastel pick on Windows, Linux and presumably mac. Pipette is in my path and works when I call it from the command line but pastel keeps reporting

[pastel error]: Could not find any external color picker tool. See 'pastel pick -h' for more information.

pastel pick -h does not help. Please advise.

nm!

--color-picker <color-picker>
            Use a specific tool to pick the colors [possible values: gpick, xcolor, wcolor, grabc,
            colorpicker, chameleon, kcolorchooser, zenity, yad]

Exactly. You don't actually need to specify --color-picker usually. But you need to have one of these tools available in your PATH
