Autostart script not working in qtile

I have recently installed qtile as haskell was quite some pain...
I am trying to run autostart.sh from within the qtile config

I have tried both the qtile official way and arch recommended way none of them work... after a lot of searching I have put in some code so that the log is created
Here is the code

@hook.subscribe.startup
def autostart():
         output = subprocess.check_output(
                    os.path.expanduser('~/.config/qtile/autostart.sh'),
                        shell=True
                             ).decode('utf-8')
              logger.error(output)

and here is the log output of the last restart
