Open file through CLI?

[celsobenedetti]

Question:

I've installed Foliate through Flatpak, and I'm failing to open files from the CLI.
I've tried the following approaches, and all result in the app opening, but "Book cannot be opened - file not found".

flatpak run com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate "/home/me/book.epub"
flatpak run --file-forwarding   com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate "/home/me/book.epub"
echo "/home/me/book.epub" | xargs flatpak run  --file-forwarding  com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate
echo "/home/me/book.epub" | xargs flatpak run com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate 

Thank you!

Version:

• Foliate version: 3.1.0
• OS/Distribution and version: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS x86_64
• Desktop environment: GNOME 42.6
• Installation method: Flatpak

From the documentation:

--file-forwarding

If this option is specified, the remaining arguments are scanned, and all arguments that are enclosed between a pair of @@ arguments are interpreted as file paths, exported in the document store, and passed to the command in the form of the resulting document path. Arguments between @@u and @@ are considered uris, and any file: uris are exported. The exports are non-persistent and with read and write permissions for the application.

So

flatpak run --file-forwarding com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate @@ "/home/me/book.epub" @@
