Update seems to have broken the plugin

I updated pywalfox with

pip3 --user --upgrade pywalfox

and ran git pull origin master in the directory I cloned pywalfox into.

When I open the plugin settings, it fails to fetch pywal colors, and the buttons for enabling the css files hang.

Every time I open Firefox, pywalfox prompts me for an update, even though I have already ran the steps above.

The url bar and drop down menu are no longer themed for me, suggesting the css is no longer working

Hello again everyone, I had the same issue on my laptop when I updated it just now, and since I was able to solve it on my desktop, I kept track of exactly how I solved it on my laptop. Here’s what I came up with, that successfully fixed the issue on my laptop:

uninstall the pywalfox extension in Firefox uninstall Firefox uninstall the pip module for pywalfox sudo tree -f / | grep pywalfox and delete anything that shows up reboot (probably not necessary) install Firefox install pywalfox extension in Firefox

WITH FIREFOX OPEN: pip install --upgrade pywalfox and sudo pip install --upgrade pywalfox (did both with and without sudo cause i was curious, both of them installed with out saying it was already installed… I don’t know much about pip but maybe this is important) pywalfox setup close Firefox open Firefox, click fetch colors on pywalfox settings page

edit: I’m sure most of this is not necessary, but one or two of these steps are certainly what solves the issue.

I have pushed an update to the native messaging application (version 2.6) that I hope should fix this issue. It no longer requires you to have pywalfox in your PATH. Instead, it relies on having one of python/python3/python2.7 in your PATH, which a majority of you should have by default.
