"hs" command not found in latest version Hammerspoond

[stardiviner]

Does this "hs" command not provided in latest version hammerspoon?

I'm newbie on Hammerspoon, so don't know whether it's deprecated or something else.

[Diego Zamboni]

Did you run hs.ipc.cliInstall() ?

I added this "hs.ipc.cliInstall()" line code in my "init.lua" config file, then restart Hammerspoon,
and check "hs" command in terminal with command: "which hs". Still command not found. I also tried
execute "hs.ipc.cliInstall()" in Hammerspoon Console input field. it returns "false".

My Hammerspoon version 0.9.91 (6078) on macOS Big Sur.

What does hs.ipc.cliStatus() say?

It returns "false" in Hammerspoon Console.

[Chris Jones]

Hmm, in the latest version (0.9.91) it ought to print an error message like this:

> hs.ipc.cliStatus()

2021-11-18 11:38:31: cli installation problem: 'hs' is a dangling link.

2021-11-18 11:38:31: cli installation problem: man page for 'hs.1' is a dangling link.

broken

Is there nothing like that in your Console?

Cheers,
Chris

Yes, there is no upper output. Just returned value "false".

[Chris Jones]

Hmm. Are you by any chance on an M1 Mac? We're probably not doing a great job of supporting that right now for the hs.ipc.cli* commands because we blindly assume that /usr/local/ is the right default place to put stuff, but at least Homebrew chose /opt/ on Apple Silicon.

Either way, I would suggest trying hs.ipc.cliUninstall() and then hs.ipc.cliInstall() as our next step

Cheers,

Chris

Yes, I'm on M1 Mac mini. Sorry I forgot to mention this. I see, I will wait for this feature support in future. Thanks for your help.

I tried this method. Still return "false".

[Amir Rajan]

running the following commands resolved the issue for me:

     rm /usr/local/bin/hs
     rm /usr/local/share/man/man1/hs.1

[d mg]

I am also running OS 12.01 on a M1 air

/usr/local is not writable by the regular user. My hs.ipc.cliInstall fails

and the output of cliStatus() is "broken"

[Chris Jones]

Hey

Yeah we need to look at this properly and change the location for M1 macs. I note that Homebrew uses /opt on those machines. 

Cheers,

Just one more data point:  I'm also on an M1 Mini (12.1) and my `hs` command is working fine. It's symlinked at /usr/local/bin. I don't remember setting any special permissions there, but here is how mine are currently:

$ ls -ld /usr/local/bin

drwxr-xr-x  127 luke  staff  4064 Dec 27 11:18 /usr/local/bin

$ touch /usr/local/bin/foo123

(no error)

I do have Homebrew installed at /opt/homebrew but there's nothing else in /opt and I think /usr/local/ is still a fine place to install 3rd party things. I have a number of other symlinks and scripts in there.

[Chris Jones]

Hey Luke

Out of interest, did you restore a Time Machine backup, or use Migration Assistant, on that M1 Mini?

I have a vague memory that on fresh M1 installs it's not possible to put stuff in /usr/local/, but I don't have a machine on hand that I can re-install to support that idea.

Cheers,

Chris

Yes I did use Migration Assistant when I swapped from my old Intel Mac Mini to this one.  So you're probably right about that!

[Dmytro Butemann]

On a fresh M1, one needs to use the code below to install it, so the hs executable can be found.

hs.ipc.cliInstall("/opt/homebrew/")
