Fails to fetch pywal colors on Mac OS

I set up pywalfox according to the installation guide but Firefox’s theme colors do not change when the “Fetch Pywal colors” button is clicked.

In the browser console I got this: Error: Attempt to postMessage on disconnected port.

Any insight?

Any errors in the Browser console in Firefox?

stderr output from native app pywalfox: /Users/<username>/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/pywalfox/bin/main.sh: line 3: pywalfox: command not found

Bingo. I had looked before, but must have missed it. I was able to resolve it by opening main.sh and explicitly setting the path to the output of which pywalfox.

/Users/<username>/Library/Python/2.7/bin/pywalfox

For some reason even though when I check any terminal (iTerm2 Terminal.app vscode ) with which pywalfox it appears, main.sh does not seem to know where it’s at (maybe?). Thank you for leading me to that though and thanks for you work on this.

Edit (Guesses):

I think this has something to do with main.sh using the BASH environment. Since, 10.15 macOS has switched from BASH to ZSH. I am able to work around the issue by sourcing my .zshrc first. then running pywal daemon.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

source ~/.zshrc
pywalfox daemon

This also might be why sudo works for some people. Because it would put it in the $PATH everywhere (I think). In macOS however installing with sudo doesn’t help because its still a different shell. My guess is that this would work normally on 10.14.
