Description

Sherlock launches successfully when launched from a regular zsh window. But when I add it to my Hyprland config it launches a process (which never closes) withouth launching the window.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install sherlock v0.1.14 through yay -S sherlock-launcher-bin
  2. Execute sherlock init
  3. Observe no errors in the output
  4. Change $menu = sherlock in hyprland.conf
  5. Execute the shortcut to launch the menu.
  6. Nothing happens, process is created, next launches from terminal also give an exit code 1

Expected Behavior

Sherlock should launch the same way like when it launches from executing sherlock in the terminal.

Environment

  • Operating System: Arch (6.15.8-arch1-1)
  • Window Manager: Hyprland 0.50.0
  • Version: v0.1.14
