module 'command_notify' has no attribute 'AVAILABLE'

[mia1024]

Describe the bug

After doing a system-wide update (pacaur -Syyu), terminator stops to function. Namely, it doesn't open anymore. When trying to launch from a console, the following error was produced:

PluginRegistry::load_plugins: Importing plugin command_notify.py failed: module 'command_notify' has no attribute 'AVAILABLE'

I have tried to load with an empty config file and it worked, but since I have no plugin turned on currently, I'm not sure how these are related.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

I'm not exactly sure.

Expected behavior

The program starts up normally.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS or Linux Distribution: Arch Linux
• Version: 2021.1.1, kernel 5.4.92-1-lts

This should be fixed in the latest version 2.1.0. I don't think Arch has updated it's repositories yet. It's a harmless message. If you want a really long story I can explain why.

[mia1024]

Ok, maybe I failed to identify the exact error message. Here's the full output of running terminator:

** (terminator:17481): WARNING **: 16:57:37.087: Binding '<Control><Alt>a' failed!
Unable to bind hide_window key, another instance/window has it.
PluginRegistry::load_plugins: Importing plugin command_notify.py failed: module 'command_notify' has no attribute 'AVAILABLE'

It exits with 0 almost immediately (0.57s) after launching. Is that caused by the same issue?

[mattrose]

Neither message should be fatal.

What happens when you run terminator -d -u

This was all fixed in #264. Can you bug the arch linux maintainer to update to 2.1.0 if you're not running that?

the process still exits with 0 right after. I'm running 2.0.1 though.

[mattrose]

Yeah, the fixes for those issues are all in 2.1.0 and it may require the fixes from #264 to work with the latest vte. I don't think so, but something seems to be shutting down the terminal right after it starts.

can you maybe try running with an empty config and see if that fixes it: terminator -d -u -g /dev/null

[mia1024]

Yes, using an empty config file fixes it, but as stated earlier in the issue, I'm just very confused by why that's relevant as I have nothing special in my config file.

Your config is telling terminator to run cd ~/Desktop, and terminator runs it, and then exits when the command is complete.

I'm going to check this out further.

[mattrose]

for now you can remove the lines use_custom_command and custom_command

[mattrose]

Honestly, I've gone back to the first version that worked on python3 and have confirmed that your config doesn't work on that one either. What version did you upgrade from?

[mattrose]

The customary way to start terminal in a specific directory is with the --working-directory option
