Cannot find Slack installation

Closed this issue · 5 comments

It stopped rendering math so I tried to reinstall. I get the error message "Cannot find Slack installation".

Windows 64-bit
Slack version: 2.7.1 64-bit Beta Channel

The script is not made to automatically find beta versions of slack, so you'll need to specify the installation yourself.

There will be a folder something like "AppData\Local\slack\2.7.1-beta\resources\app.asar.unpacked\src\static" in your user profile folder, call the script with that as a provided parameter. E.g.:

math_with_slack.bat %gauss256%\AppData\Local\slack\%2.7.1-beta%\resources\app.asar.unpacked\src\static

where you need to change %gauss256% and %2.7.1-beta% to the appropriate values.

Please let me know if this work.

OK, I've figured it out. For some reason the installation .bat file stopped working. Fixing it required the use of delayed expansion.

I'll do a pull request.

@fsavje Our comments crossed. Fortunately, finding the beta version was not a problem. (How did I get on the beta channel anyway??)

Not only is the installation working again in my fork, but the math is rendering properly too.

This should be addressed with version 0.2.2. Please let me know if it isn't.

Works here.
