gokuw works, but goku service seems dead

[martaver]

I'm trying to debug why the goku service, which is listed as started is doing nothing on my system. When I run gokuw from a terminal session, goku works fine. However, with the service running, the changes to my edn file are not reflected in karabiner.json.

The log file is completely empty. If I delete the log file, the service recreates it when I restart the service - so I know I'm looking at the right log file.

Is there a way to get any more verbose logs out of the service and see where it's failing?

Hi, this should be fixed in 0.5.4

It's not fixed. Still trying to figure out why.

watchexec won't trigger the command (even the startup one) when started by launchd

@yqrashawn Should the gokuw command be used in the launchd definition? https://github.com/yqrashawn/homebrew-goku/blob/2d41a49d0322b99d8f6c77657858be5ada8de028/Formula/goku.rb#L30 It's a script that already uses watchexec.

I tried that. It won't trigger the goku command. I also tried to give watchexec full disk access, nothing changed.

I got it working using the build in watch capabilities of launchd -> WatchPaths, so no need to use watchexec here:

Fixed in 0.6.0. WatchPaths works well @shirshir 🎉
