Can't apply scheme: KeyError: 'colors'

[Seybo]

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 and installed the package with pip3 install --user alacritty-colorscheme

[I] ➜ alacritty-colorscheme -l | grep nord
nord.yaml

But:

[I] ➜ alacritty-colorscheme -a nord.yaml
Traceback (most recent call last):

    sys.exit(main())

Here is my nord.yml. I have added the surrounding # color_start/end according to #6

  # Default colors

    background: '0x2E3440'
    foreground: '0xD8DEE9'

You don't need to add the markers in the latest version @Seybo

I think you do not have colors section in your alacritty.yml config. Can you try adding this to your alacritty.yml config

colors:
  cursor:
    text: '0x32302f'
    cursor: '0xd5c4a1'

And, try running the tool again.
