Unable to start AeroSpace

[Slijeff]

Hi, I tried to open Aerospace by clicking the icon, go to the application folder and right click open, and also using Spotlight search Aerospace then enter, but no respond after performing those actions. Aerospace icon is not shown in the menu bar. It might have something to do with macos 15.1.1 which I updated yesterday, but I'm not sure.

Below are some info by running aerospace -v:

If your getting a response from that, aerospace should be running in the background, it does not show an icon in the menu bar. Instead you should have the active space number 1|2 or something similar. If you click on it, you get a menu.. Are the window tiling at all? I'm running Sequoia 15.2 beta and Aerospace is working fine on my end.

I don't see the active space number, and the windows are not tiling at all. Pressing the keybindings have no effect.

Okay I found the issue. There's something wrong with my aerospace config, so AeroSpace aborts on start. But there's no error message whatsoever. After I switched to the default config then it's able to start.

Usually error popups up as should as you try reloading, but I have had a couple cases where it reloaded without errors. Glad you were able to figure it out.
