Flow.Launcher: BUG: Plugins Failing to Detect CWD

Checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I am using the latest version of Flow Launcher.

Problem Description

I’ve been using FlowLauncher on Windows 10 for a couple weeks now, with a bunch of plugins installed. It’s been working great, and before now, I hadn’t run into any issues, I booted up Flow Launcher today, and I got a strange error saying that lots of plugins were unable to be initialized. I rebooted a few times and tried several other things, but I couldn’t get the error to go away. Upon investigation, I landed in one of the lib\flox\__init.py__ files that every python plugin has. After reading the code and debugging the error, I came to this code:

while True:
    if len(path.parts) == 1:
        raise FileNotFoundError("Unable to locate Launcher directory")
    if path.joinpath('Settings').exists():
        USER_DIR = path
        if USER_DIR.name == 'UserData':
            APP_DIR = USER_DIR.parent
        elif str(CURRENT_WORKING_DIR).startswith(str(APPDATA)):
            APP_DIR = LOCALAPPDATA.joinpath(launcher_name)
        else:
            raise FileNotFoundError("Unable to locate Launcher directory")
        break

    path = path.parent

This code searches for FlowLauncher’s Settings folder. In a normal installation, this code will work fine and succeed on the first loop, as the Settings folder should be in this path.

But for me, the code loops until it gets all the way to the top of the path (C:\). There, it hits the len(path.parts) == 1 check and throws an exception. That’s because my FlowLauncher directory is, upon checking it out, very strange.

I have two FlowLauncher folders - one in AppData (C:\Users\zachy\AppData\Roaming\FlowLauncher):

flowlauncherfolderstructure

and one in LocalAppData (C:\Users\zachy\AppData\Local\FlowLauncher):

flowlauncherfolderstructure2

As you can see, the program’s code / executables and data are split into two separate paths. The CWD that the plugin’s init.py sees is the latter. I don’t know if this is supposed to be the case, but I can’t imagine why any developer would make it this way, and it clearly doesn’t make the program itself very happy (at least, in terms of plugins). However, everything except plugins appears to be functioning fine, including settings.

Even stranger, the majority of plugins load and work fine. What language the plugin is coded in doesn’t seem to matter either, but I may be wrong.

Here’s all the plugins that don’t work (all of them encounter the same issue, AFAICT):

notworkingplugins TenorGIF plugin too; I couldn’t fit it into the screenshot.

This is an incredibly weird issue, and I’ve never encountered anything like it. I don’t really have anything to test against, and I have no idea what’s going on, so I apologize if this issue isn’t very well written.

To Reproduce

  1. Install FlowLauncher.
  2. Install one of the plugins that’s encountering this error.
  3. Somehow get this weird directory structure to occur (I don’t know how this happened for me, or maybe I’m just confused and this is actually how it’s supposed to do).
  4. Start FlowLauncher and maybe this behavior will occur???

errorpart3 Error encountered after manually turning one of the plugins on, even though it failed to load on FlowLauncher startup, and trying to search something. I showed the relevant parts of the error log.

Here’s my FlowLauncher log, but it doesn’t seem to contain anything relevant:

Chipping in that I also get reports of this issue (I maintain the ChatGPT plugin). I haven’t been able to reproduce the issue myself though.

@HorridModz you mentioned that it is also happening for non-Python plugins. Are you sure about that? It might be related to the Flox Library (Github link) that is used, but that could only be the case if it happens with plugins written in Python.

Since @Garulf maintains that library, he might know what could be up? Thanks in advance!

I’ll do more investigating (and answer your other questions) when I get home today.

@MichielvanBeers I’m so sorry, high school just started for me and I’ve been incredibly busy. I haven’t even booted up my computer all week. But I haven’t forgotten about this, and I should have time to do it over the weekend.
