[SOLVED] task (from taskwarrior) error message, 'there is not enough horizontal width..'

xri · 05-17-2011, 08:40 PM

I've been using task very often lately. I like it.
I just got myself a new box and arch is working fine.
However, when I enter

$ task summary

I get:

There is not enough horizontal width to display the results

It is weird, since my consoles, both on level 3 and level 5 work fine as usual.

Is there any setting or parameter to look into?

Thanks for reading this.

Have you tried their support:

I'm doing that today

I have not registered on their site yet because I'm in the process of changing my email address and want to make sure that I give them the current one.
Good project. I like it.

I just have the feeling that there is more to consoles than logging into one (I am thinking runlevel 3). Apart from whatever fixes or improvements 'task' may need, I wonder what options a user can choose for a console (or many consoles). I just need a few free hours to dig into that

Sometimes Taskwarrior support comes to you.

That error message (not enough horizontal width) is a temporary message I put in while the new layout algorithm is being improved.

You got this message because you built straight off the development branch. Beware - you are running a copy that has 188 failing tests right now.

Jeez, thanks, paulbeckingahm. YOU ROCK!!!

I'm such a big fan of Open Source that I go overboard choosing the version. I guess this is a lesson for me to keep my enthusiasm within limits

I just switched to the regular stable version and my troubles disappeared.

Thanks a lot again, guys.
Long live the penguin!
