Summary

Command Start-Process "komorebi-bar" '"--config" "$env:USERPROFILE\komorebi.bar.right.json"' -WindowStyle hidden will fail more often then succeed.
Command structure appears to not align with with documentation
-filepath and -argumentlist are missing and deploying the bar with the following launches the bars correctly.
Start-Process -filepath "Komorebi-bar.exe" -ArgumentList "--config","$env:USERPROFILE\komorebi.bar.right.json" -WindowStyle hidden

Just trying to setup komorebi again after not using for a long time. Saw you had a bar feature now, but it doesn't seem to launch for me with the bar_config in komorebi.json

komorebic start --bar --whkd                              
Start-Process 'komorebi.exe' -WindowStyle hidden
Waiting for komorebi.exe to start...Started!

if (!(Get-Process whkd -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue))
{
  Start-Process whkd -WindowStyle hidden
}

Start-Process "komorebi-bar" '"--config" "$env:KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME\komorebi.bar.json"' -WindowStyle hidden

Thank you for using komorebi!

komorebic manages windows and i can use my whkd hotkeys, but bar never appears.

If i remove the configuration line from my config. It loads.

EDIT: Adding the line back but replacing $env:KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME with the path from the env variable itself fixed it not launching. So it seems komorebic doesn't know the environment variable.

I'm glad it was a quick fix! If you end up using komorebi at work please make sure to get your employer to purchase or reimburse you for an individual commercial use license: https://lgug2z.com/software/komorebi
