How can I test a specific komorebic configuration file with komorebic.exe check

[shoan]

I noticed that it does not accept the --config argument.

The output of komorebic check eludes to the existance of Found komorebi.json; this file can be passed to the start command with the --config flag, but attempting to use it results in error: unexpected argument '--config' found

Imo testing arbitrary config files should be done by one of the many tools which can validate a file against a jsonschema - komorebic check does much more than check a single configuration file; it is providing feedback about the PS environment, evaluating environment variables, validating legacy configuration formats, checking for updated versions of komorebi etc.

Implemented here anyway: 9c1c700

The reason I asked for this is to troubleshoot errors like the following:

> komorebic start --whkd --bar -c komorebi-home.json
Start-Process 'komorebi.exe' -ArgumentList '--config="komorebi-home.json"' -WindowStyle hidden
Waiting for komorebi.exe to start...komorebi.exe did not start... Trying again
Start-Process 'komorebi.exe' -ArgumentList '--config="komorebi-home.json"' -WindowStyle hidden
Waiting for komorebi.exe to start...komorebi.exe did not start... Trying again
Start-Process 'komorebi.exe' -ArgumentList '--config="komorebi-home.json"' -WindowStyle hidden

When this happens, it is a lot of trial and error to figure out what is wrong with the config file. I was able to get started, by removing these lines:

 }

Yeah that makes sense - the change allowing the --komorebi-config flag will be in the next nightly release tomorrow 🤞
