Alacritty migration issue

This is in the file:
               /tmp/Alacritty-2278820.log

[0.000397729s] [WARN ] [alacritty_config_derive] Config warning: import has been deprecated; use general.import instead
                                                 Use `alacritty migrate` to automatically resolve it
[0.000448532s] [WARN ] [alacritty_config_derive] Config warning: ipc_socket has been deprecated; use general.ipc_socket instead
                                                 Use `alacritty migrate` to automatically resolve it
[0.000459126s] [WARN ] [alacritty_config_derive] Config warning: live_config_reload has been deprecated; use general.live_config_reload instead
                                                 Use `alacritty migrate` to automatically resolve it

On each new alacritty windows the message is displayed:

Import has been depricated use general.import instead

Re: Alacritty migration issue

The answer is in the warning. Run alacritty migrate in a terminal.

Re: Alacritty migration issue

Don't just sudo random stuff!

This is in the file: /tmp/Alacritty-2278820.log

Yeah, an lod log won't update regardless of whether you sanitized the situation.

Kill alacritty, start a new intance - is it still complaining?
If yes, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Alacri … figuration
Check which of those files exsts, post them (please use [code][/code] tags)

Re: Alacritty migration issue

Removing alacritty won't remove your config file in ~/.config/alacritty.
Edit the toml file manually, config options that before didn't exist under any section, now need to be under [general] section (the options in the errors)
