Caveats
Copy the example configuration into your home directory:
cp /usr/local/opt/chunkwm/share/chunkwm/examples/chunkwmrc ~/.chunkwmrc
Opening chunkwm will prompt for Accessibility API permissions. After access has been granted, the application must be restarted:
brew services restart chunkwm
If both --with-logging and --with-tmp-logging are specified, the former takes
precedence over the latter.
Codesign chunkwm binary
Accessibility API must be granted after every update to chunkwm, unless you codesign the binary with self-signed certificate before restarting
Create code signing certificate named "chunkwm-cert" using Keychain Access.app:
- Open Keychain Access.app
- From menu select
Keychain Access -> Certificate Assistant -> Create a certificate - Fill the certificate form:
- Name: chunkwm-cert
- Identity Type: Self Signed Root
- Certificate Type: Code Signing
Sign the binary:
codesign -fs "chunkwm-cert" /usr/local/opt/chunkwm/bin/chunkwm
To have launchd start crisidev/chunkwm/chunkwm now and restart at login:
brew services start crisidev/chunkwm/chunkwm
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
chunkwm
Logging
If the formula has been built with --with-logging, logs will be found in
/usr/local/var/log/chunwm/chunkwm.[out|err].log
