bug: theme.yml doesn't work on macOS

[virtual-voyager]

Version: v0.20.7

I have a theme.yml in ~/.config/eza/theme.yml. The theming works on my linux machine - but not on macOS. I have set $XDG_CONFIG_HOME to $HOME/.config in my .zshenv.

I tried using iTerm2 and kitty and it doesn't work on either when using macOS. I also tried setting $EZA_CONFIG_DIR to ~/.config/eza which also didn`t resolve the issue.

For some reason I have not identified, I am running 0.20.3 and I have the same issue that ~/.config/eza/theme.yml is not being parsed on macOS. I do not have $XDG_CONFIG_HOME set.

Okay, if you set $EZA_CONFIG_DIR to /Users/<username>/.config/eza it works. PathBuf::from("~/...") does not resolve the ~, that is a shell function.

Now, as to why it doesn't even work when you just put it in ~/.config/eza/theme.yml is because on macOS dirs.config_dir() returns $HOME/Library/Application Support

Location:

eza/src/options/theme.rs

Line 47 in 29afcb5

let path = dirs::config_dir().unwrap_or_default();

What's worse is that even if you were to put your config in ~/Library/Application Support/eza/theme.yml it still doesn't work as if the theme comes from there it merely reads the default theme:

eza/src/options/theme.rs

Line 50 in 29afcb5

Some(ThemeConfig::default())

I have also experienced this issue

Setting CONFIG_DIR to /Users/<username>/.config/eza Also worked for me. the comments are very vague and I thought you needed to set it to ...eza/theme.yml. it also doesn't take control of the directory or filename colours on Iterm for me. @kristof-mattei Did you have the same problem?
