FileNotFoundError: ~/shallow-backup/dotfiles/.gitignore

I just installed shallow-backup with pipx, and I get this error:

Is it because I don't have a .gitignore file in ~?

[alichtman]

Can you post the output of $ cat ~/.config/shallow-backup.conf? And also $ ls ~/shallow-backup/ and $ ls ~/shallow-backup/dotfiles?

This error is likely related to the new config keys I added in v4.0, but I haven't run into this issue on my own system.

[alichtman]

It may be related to this line:

shallow-backup/shallow_backup/config.py

Line 56 in 4c52e3f

f"{get_config_path}",

In looking at this now, I have no idea how this line doesn't error... I'm pretty sure that it works (because it would have failed on my system if it didn't?) but that doesn't look right to me.

I'll do some further debugging once I get some more info from you.

Look at that serialized Python function hahahaha 😄! Go back to your Python interpreter you little function 😸

~/shallow-backup is empty (except for .git and .gitignore).

[alichtman]

@pawamoy Try installing the version from master. It'll say v4.0.3, but it's not the same as v4.0.3 on pypi. And make sure to do it with a clean ~/shallow-backup directory.

~/shallow-backup is empty (except for .git and .gitignore).

EDIT: Also, this error would indicate that the dotfiles subdirectory was not created properly. Testing a fix rn, will update soon.

EDIT 2: Fixed in v4.0.4

Working, thanks a lot 🙂 !
