Cannot copy to clipboard on Ubuntu 24.04

[tallesl]

I'm using the v1.1.0 binary from the release section.

Here's a workaround:

$ code2prompt -o /dev/stdout my-folder/ | xclip -selection c

Issue persists in v2.0.0.

I made a workaround with ChatGPT. It's just a custom script that uses a temporary output file and uses cat to get it to the clipboard with xclip. https://chatgpt.com/share/66eadf1d-ab08-8003-8c10-385f1b4be36b

#!/bin/bash

# Create a temporary file
TMPFILE=$(mktemp)

# Run code2prompt with the provided options and save the output directly to the temp file using -o option
code2prompt "$@" -o "$TMPFILE"

# Output the contents of the file and pipe to xclip (clipboard)
cat "$TMPFILE" | xclip -selection clipboard

# Delete the temporary file
rm "$TMPFILE"

echo "Prompt copied to clipboard."

Hello, How can I reproduce the issue ?

It's working fine for me on GNOME, KDE, plasma and wayland. I was able to use code2prompt on WSL and on ARM (jetson orin).

I have since deleted my use gard Nixos install unfortunately. I can try it on my WSL2 Nixos install and report back...

@ODAncona how is it supposed code2prompt to be used if connected via SSH, with no clipboard?

If started via SSH, I got following (no file.txt is created):

$ code2prompt . -o file.txt
