ERROR: module 'stackline.stackline.core' not found:

Thanks for this project, love the concept!

I'm giving it a try, and I am getting the following error when launching Hammerspoon.

2020-08-03 10:07:53: Welcome to the Hammerspoon Console!

The only thing that I did differently when getting setup was not cloning to my ~/Downloads directory and dealing with relative paths (native MacOS version of ln does not support the -r flag). I cloned to ~/.hammerspoon/src/ instead, so my ~/.hammerspoon directory looks like this.

~/.hammerspoon
❯ exa -hla --git
Permissions Size User  Date Modified Name

lrwxr-xr-x    20 johna  3 Aug 10:07  utils -> src/stackline/utils

and my init.lua

~/.hammerspoon
❯ cat init.lua
require "stackline.stackline.core"

Probably something simple I'm missing. I am not (was not) a Hammerspoon user nor do I have Lua experience.

@johnallen3d you can do this to make it work:

1. cd ~/hammerspoon && rm -r bin src stackline utils
2. git clone https://github.com/AdamWagner/stackline ~/hammerspoon/stackline

[johnallen3d]

OJ, just so I'm clear, the folder structure should look something like this? If I do this then I no longer see an error launching Hammerspoon (yah!) but I'm not seeing the "pills" when I introduce a stack. 🤔

The shell also defaults to /usr/local/bin/dash in this which must be installed using brew install dash

[alin23]

I've fixed most of this stuff here: #13

But @AdamWagner is already in the middle of a big refactor to ditch the shell script so this might get more stable in the next few days.

[johnallen3d]

ah ha! Installing dash got me there!

I'm following the project and will plan to upgrade whn @AdamWagner's PR is merged.

Thanks for your help!

[AdamWagner]

Sorry for the bumpy start @johnallen3d ! I'll update the readme with the tips shared here!

[johnallen3d]

Thanks for getting those updated steps out there @AdamWagner and for your help troubleshooting @alin23! I'm looking over the README and trying the latest and two things stand-out.

It looks like the . in .hammerspoon is missing here:

git clone https://github.com/AdamWagner/stackline.git ~/hammerspoon/stackline

I don't have a /usr/local/bin/hs. I'm guessing that relates to Hammerspoon? I don't have an hs on my path at all (which hs returns nothing).

Happy to open PR's or help in other ways (continue to be a tester) if I can!

[johnallen3d]

OK, I just did > hs.ipc.cliInstall() from the Hammerspoon Console...

❯ which hs
/usr/local/bin/hs

🎉

oh right.. forgot about that. I have that line in my init.lua file, we'll have to add this inside the readme

[AdamWagner]

Good catches, @johnallen3d! I fixed the missing "dot" in the hammerspoon path, added instructions for installing hs, and added a shout-out to @johnallen3d for identifying these issues & being willing to push though them 👏
