toggle between colorschemes not working

[emilBeBri]

Hi, so I just installed this, on an up-to-date manjaro linux distro.

pip install --user alacritty-colorscheme

colorschemes:

REPO=https://github.com/eendroroy/alacritty-theme.git git clone $REPO $HOME/.config/alacritty/colors

but when I run

alacritty-colorscheme -V toggle

No colorscheme is changing, and this is the output from terminal:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/emil/.local/bin/alacritty-colorscheme", line 8, in sys.exit(main()) File "/home/emil/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/alacritty_colorscheme/cli.py", line 158, in main handle_args(args) File "/home/emil/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/alacritty_colorscheme/cli.py", line 121, in handle_args colorscheme = get_applied_colorscheme(args.config_file) File "/home/emil/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/alacritty_colorscheme/colorscheme.py", line 32, in get_applied_colorscheme has_comment = _has_comment_token(config_yaml['colors'].ca.comment) TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

Not really sure what to do about that - I emptied my alacritty.yml just to make sure that something wasn't interferring (at first I got an error because I already had a section in the yaml defining colorschemes)

Can you try adding a color section on the configuration file?

I got this instead:

and this is (the only) content in the config:

When looking at the tracelog, looks like the program is also reading the LICENSE file.

The ~/.config/alacritty/colors should include the colors yml, but the commands you have used will have the colors yml file at ~/.config/alacritty/colors/themes/

REPO=https://github.com/eendroroy/alacritty-theme.git git clone $REPO $HOME/.config/alacritty/colors/

That did the trick, moving the schemes from the 'themes' folder up one dir. thank you. strange though, I thought that that color repo was made specifically for this program

[tnagorra]

The colors folder is just the default location for the program. You can also set the location for the colors directly using the commandline argument
