'Error while parsing theme' And 'Parser error: syntax error, unexpected invalid property name, expecting "bracket open ('{')" or "property separator (':')"' Errors

[SamuelBanya]

I am using Linux Mint on my desktop machine.

I followed the GitHub README's instructions by doing the following actions:

• I git cloned the directory with this command:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi.git

• I then ran the related setup commands:

cd rofi
chmod +x setup.sh

I then launched 'rofi' and am getting this error:

The following errors were detected when starting rofi:

Error while parsing theme: /home/sam/.config/rofi/config.rasi
Parser error: syntax error, unexpected invalid property name, expecting "bracket open ('{')" or "property separator (':')"

Location: line 54 column 5 to line 54 column 6
File '/home/sam/.config/rofi/config.rasi'

Any idea on what I am doing wrong in this scenario?

Thanks.

I was facing this same issue after I installed it today. I fixed it by commenting out the fallback icons (line number 54 to 56) in ~/.config/rofi/config.rasi.

/*---------- Fallback Icon ----------*/
/*run,drun {
    fallback-icon: "application-x-addon";
}*/

My rofi version is 1.7.1

Hey @SamuelBanya and @lap00zza this repository is just for generating config files. You need to update your rofi versions to 1.7.5

Hey @delirehberi
use apt-get install --only-upgrade rofi, max we can get on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is 1.71

Also I tried to remove the fallbacks and I get this:

@PoutineSyropErable you can build last version for yourself

I haven't done very robust testing, but I was able to get things working in 1.7.3 by separating the run and drun fallbacks onto their own lines, so it looks like this:

	/*---------- Fallback Icon ----------*/
	run {
		fallback-icon: "application-x-addon";
	}
	drun {
		fallback-icon: "application-x-addon";
	}
